If you want to know the time in different parts of the world, Horas can provide you with this information. Naturally, even the system's clock can be set to different time zones, but Horas can display multiple clocks at the same time. It places several clocks directly on your desktop and it lets you customize them in various ways. The application's controls are straightforward and easy to understand, so you won't waste any time setting it up.

Horas is free to try for a limited period of time, but without any functionality restrictions. It works on all popular Windows platforms and it doesn't ask for any special tools or drivers. Installing the application takes only a few seconds and you don't have to make any complicated settings along the way.

When launched, the application will display several pre-defined clocks, on a single bar. Right clicking this bar will reveal a series of options, which give you access to a time converter, a zone browser, a calendar and to a tabbed settings panel. The settings panel is where you can add new clocks, customize them and make various tweaks.

You can add a new clock by simply selecting a time zone and typing in a name. Additionally, you can import native city names, if you want them spelled in their original language. It is even possible to import city names with different alphabets, like Arabic, Cyrillic and so on. Besides choosing how a city's name should be spelled, you can pick different colors for the clock background, city name, date and other components.

The precise time can be downloaded from the Internet. Furthermore, the application can adjust all clocks, including the system's clock automatically, according to a time server. The best part is that it takes a single click to do this.

While running on your computer, Horas will keep you connected to the rest of the world.

Pros

The application can display the time from anywhere in the world. It can display several clocks at the same time and it lets you customize their appearance. Also, the application is capable of retrieving native city names.

Cons

You can customize the visuals of each clock separately.
