ChronyControl is a handy tool for Mac users who want their system clock to be spot on. By default, macOS uses NTPD to sync your clock with online sources. But if you only connect to the Internet for a little bit each day or your Mac is off for long stretches, your clock might not show the right time.
While you can download Chrony separately, it can be tricky to set up. That's where ChronyControl comes in! This software gives you a user-friendly graphical interface, making it way easier to install and configure.
You have full control with ChronyControl. You can start or stop the chronyd service whenever you want, uninstall it, or tweak the settings as needed.
The protocol that Chrony uses has some cool advantages over what your Mac typically uses. For starters, it fixes time discrepancies quicker when you're back online. This is super helpful if you're only on the Internet for short bursts each day.
Another great feature is that it tracks how fast your clock drifts out of sync and makes adjustments even when you're offline. Plus, when you reboot your Mac, Chrony keeps the correct time by calculating the drift rate of your real-time clock!
ChronyControl shows an analog version of your system clock right on your screen! The center hub changes color based on whether the chronyd service is running smoothly or not.
You can check out performance meters, see tracking info and sources, and even view a graph showing how everything's been changing over time.
If you've noticed that your Mac's clock often doesn't match up with online sources, ChronyControl might just be what you need! It's especially useful if you're connecting to the Internet briefly each day—it helps keep everything accurate!
