Telescope — Quick Start

Telescope is a macOS menu bar utility that converts Unix timestamps to and from human-readable dates.

Converter tab

Copy any Unix timestamp (from a log line, an API response, a database row) and Telescope's popover automatically appears with the converted Local time and ISO8601 string. Click the copy icons on the right of each row to copy any of the formats to your clipboard.

Create tab

Pick a date and time, and Telescope shows you its Unix timestamp. Tap Copy to Clipboard to grab it.

Settings

• Pop up automatically when a timestamp is copied — when enabled, the Telescope popover appears every time you copy a Unix timestamp anywhere on your Mac.
• Use 24-hour time format — toggle between 12-hour and 24-hour Local-time display.
• Launch Telescope at login — start Telescope automatically when you sign in.

Supported precisions

Telescope auto-detects timestamps in seconds (10 digits), milliseconds (13 digits), microseconds (16 digits), and nanoseconds (19 digits).
