The Places window (below) displays places for the selected Source (left-hand column).
- Find any local time by searching for country or city names.
- Immediately see if a place is currently experiencing daylight, night, or twilight by glancing at the Daylight column which is centered on the local time.
- Create place sets (at the bottom of the Source list) to group sets of frequently referenced places. Place sets are useful to quickly determine a reasonable time for a phone call or meeting.
- Optionally show the Inspector drawer to display detailed information for the selected place.

The Clocks window displays clocks for a specific place set.
The center of each clock shows a colored dot to indicate the current light. For example, San Francisco, California shows an orange dot for civil twilight. Christchurch and Osaka show yellow dots for daylight. Paris shows a blue dot for astronomical twilight. Munich shows a cyan dot for nautical twilight. These colors correspond to the colors used in the Places window.
Immediately below the clock, the hours ahead or behind the Current Location are displayed. Since San Francisco is the current location, its clock shows "Local Time Zone" and the other clocks are relative to it. For example, Osaka is 16 hours ahead of San Francisco.
