TimeSync

Having time synchronized is an activity which is easily accomplished with an active Internet connection. This helps when you need to be aware of the time in different regions around the world, or simply to keep your current configuration accurate. As such, TimeSync is a tool dedicated to time synchronization.

On the bright side of things, you can see what the application can do for you from the moment download is done. There’s no setup involved, so you are free to store it on a USB flash drive in case you want or need to use on other computers. More than that, the health status of the target PC is not put at risk, because registry entries are left intact.

It minimizes to the tray area on launch, and it’s the place where you always find it. Bringing up the tray menu allows you to synchronize time on the spot, or access the configuration panel. Here is the place where you set the host server, and even choose to make the application run with Windows so that it’s ready when reaching the desktop.

Additional options refer to the frequency at which synchronization is done, with a simple value field in minutes. There’s the possibility to wait a given amount of time before attempting to synchronize time, and even to ignore time differences larger than a custom value, also in minutes.

You might find it a little difficult to connect to a particular server. This is mostly because the application doesn’t come with a list of presets, but does offer one default server. You can change it, but only by writing down the target IP.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that TimeSync is a lightweight, but trustworthy application to use to keep your computer’s time settings accurate and updated.Even though it can be a little tricky to change the server, it’s sure to come in handy, especially since it can be used on the go.
