# dotBeat Internet Time
# dotBeat Internet Time for macOS

dotBeat is a macOS menu bar app that displays the current [Swatch Internet Time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time) in your menu bar. In addition to the menu bar display, dotBeat features a window that gives you a global view into what time corresponds to each __.beat__ in Internet Time.

dotBeat Internet Time is a small app that shows the current [Swatch Internet Time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time) in your menu bar. It also includes a 'simulator', giving you a view into how Internet Time corresponds to local times across the globe, perfect for when you're trying to coordinate a meeting time with others.

## What is Internet Time?

What is "Swatch Internet Time"? Internet Time was dreamed up by Swatch in 1998. It's a way to tell time, globally, without time zones. Every day is divided up into 1000 ".beats", starting from midnight BMT (GMT+1), running from @0 to @999.

In theory, this makes it easier to coordinate meeting times with people across the world: just tell them the .beat, and they can figure out the rest with something like dotBeat. For example, @42 is 4:00 PM in California, but it's 5:45 AM in Nepal.
