Have you ever disliked how morning starts before you fall asleep, or how irregular the digits in clock time are? Use solar time!

Every day is broken into three sectors - Morning (MS), Evening (ES), and Night (NS). Each is eight clock hours long, with morning being from 6am to 2pm, evening being from 2pm to 10pm, and night being from 10pm to 6am. Each sector is divided into 12 solar hours (sh), which is then broken into 12 solar minutes (sm), to 12 solar seconds (ss), to 12 solar subseconds (ssฬง). One solar minute is equivalent to 200 clock seconds, a solar second is equivalent to 16.67 clock seconds, and a solar subsecond is equivalent to 1.389 clock seconds. From this, all numbers are represented in base 12, with 10 as "a" and 11 as "b."

How does this help?

- Days (now solar cycles) are broken into more logical sectors, allowing for better rendering of time through description.
- Every division of time can be represented in a single digit, and colons are now non-mandatory (though they are included in the app for ease of reading) as the time really measures the number of solar subseconds that passed since the start of the solar sector. Instead of 6:08:07PM, it is now ES 6252!
- It incorporates base 12, which is a bonus in itself in how much better base 12 is than base 10.

Now, with a new functionality: double-tap on the screen to open a pop-up prompt, allowing you to enter a timezone code! More than 50 timezone codes enabled, but they aren't necessarily the most used ones. Default timezone is EST, but unrecognized codes will default to UTC.

Timezone codes now have to be written out (example: "Brasilia Time" instead of "BT") to hopefully alleviate issues with the extensive repeat acronyms found in timezone codes. Timezones can now also be entered as a measure from UTC (example: instead of typing "Eastern Time," one can type "UTC-5."
