I’ve just published my first Raycast script command: Time Converter, which takes a time (local to your machine), one or more locations, and pastes the time for each time zone.
![A screenshot that shows the Raycast interface, with the command for the Time Zone converter script with the values '3 PM', 'NYC, London, Kolkata' and 'list'.](https://i0.wp.com/silverspider.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/raycast-time-zone-converter.png?resize=1024%2C647&ssl=1)
Examples
Examples typed in US Central Timezone:
3 PM
NYC, London, Kolkata
list
This is interpreted as a command to output the times in New York City, London, and Kolkata that match 3PM (I’m in US Central) as a list”, which returns:
• 4:00 PM - NYC
• 9:00 PM - London
• 2:30 AM - Kolkata
3PM
NYC, London, Kolkata
inline
“Output the times in New York City, London, and Kolkata that match 3PM my time, inline”returns:
4:00 PM NYC / 9:00 PM London / 2:30 AM Kolkata
10AM
(nothing else specified):
This will output the times for the default cities (Austin, TX, London, Sofia, Bulgaria in the default inline format) returns:
10:00 AM Austin / 4:00 PM London / 6:00 PM Sofia
The command understands both 24-hour and 12-hour notation (the latter AM/PM or am/pm), with or without minutes as well as “fuzzy” times, such as “now”, “in an hour” or “4PM tomorrow”.
Hopefully, others find it as helpful as I do. I’d love feedback and suggestions for improvement.
Make sure to review the setup notes. This command requires Python 3.10+ and has a couple of dependencies that you may need to install. If anyone knows how to auto-install those packages for end-users, I’d love to hear about it to smooth the experience.
