More Time

A clock plugin for the Omarchy bar with a world clock on a map or a globe of the time zones, your places with their clock faces and sun times, alarms, timers, stopwatches and pomodoros, up to 100 of each, and the solar system as a clock before the real star sky, with eclipses and other sky events. The same view also runs as a standalone app window. It works the way More Weather does: the same popup, settings, hover entries in the bar, 30 languages and full keyboard control.

Features

In the bar

• The time, and whatever else you choose: seconds, weekday, date, week number, the time in your first cities, the next alarm, a running timer, stopwatch or pomodoro, today's and this week's pomodoro rounds, and a blinking bell while something rings.
• Every entry shows always, when relevant, or on hover:
  • "Relevant" means the next alarm within 12 hours, timers, stopwatches and pomodoros while they run, and the bell while something rings.
  • By default the seconds and two cities appear while the pointer rests on the clock.
• The text turns bold at once while the pointer is on the clock (switch Bold while hovered), and the popup can open on hover.
• Colour the values (off, while hovered, always; while hovered by default): the time in the colour of the sky where you are (day, golden hour, blue hour, night, drifting with the sun's elevation; the place is Omarchy's weather location, else your time zone's city), running timers and pomodoros in the accent colour and red in their last minute (paused ones and pomodoro breaks muted), a running stopwatch in the accent colour, the next alarm in the accent colour within an hour and red within ten minutes, each city in the accent colour by day (6 to 18 there) and muted at night, the seconds and the week number muted.
• Tooltip on hover (off by default): the bar's own tooltip repeats every entry the clock shows while hovered, one per line and with a word where the bar shows only a symbol ("Next alarm 7:00 AM", "Timer Tea 2:16", "New York 9:40 AM"); not while the popup is open.
• Left click opens or closes the popup.
• Middle click stops what rings, or else starts or pauses the first pomodoro.
• Right click sends a notification with what is coming up.
• On a vertical bar the clock stacks hours over minutes.

In the popup and the app

• Clock: the current place's name, its time large with seconds, an optional clock face, the date, ISO week, day of the year, its time zone, sunrise and sunset with the golden hour (sun between +6° and −4°) and the blue hour (−4° to −8°), the morning's before noon and the evening's after, and the next alarm. In the popup a click on the time opens the app; the buttons in the corner mute the chimes (shown while a chime is set up) and open the app and the settings.
• Current place: here, or one of your cities from the Places tab. The row above the time shows it: the location pin goes back to here, the name and ▾ open the Places tab. With a city current, a line keeps the time here in view. Alt 0 is here, Alt 1–9 a city, Alt ← → go round, from any tab. The bar and the app show the same place, and it is kept across restarts. Alarms, chimes and the menu bar always stay on this computer's clock.
• Here: Omarchy's weather location if it has one; otherwise, only with Detect my location on (Settings → General, off by default), your approximate place from an IP geolocation service (ipwho.is, then ipapi.co, then GeoJS, as More Weather asks them), kept for six hours and asked again when the network changes; otherwise the city of your time zone. Its zone is always this computer's.
• World:
  • A minimalist map in the Equal Earth projection, which is equal-area and much less distorted than Mercator.
  • The real time zone borders, drawn as zebra stripes, alternating light and dark by the hour. Half- and quarter-hour zones (India, Nepal, Newfoundland …) are hatched, and your own zone is in the accent colour.
  • The night side in three steps, each darker: civil twilight (sun 0° to −6°), nautical (−6° to −12°), then astronomical twilight and night, in a blue-black shade that also shows on dark themes. The Sun's zenith point is a small rayed sun. With the clock's golden and blue hour options on, a gold band on the day side of the day/night line (sun +6° to 0°) and a blue one on the night side (0° to −8°): the gold strongest at the line and fading towards the day, the blue light at the line and deepening towards the night.
  • A ruler with the hour in every zone above the map and the offsets below it.
  • Your cities as dots with their time.
  • Hovering a zone names its offset and time.
  • Or, instead of the flat map, a globe with the same zones, land, night side, golden and blue hour and cities: picking a city (or here) turns it there the short way round, a drag or the sideways wheel (⇧ wheel) turns it by hand, the vertical wheel scrolls the tab, and if you like it turns by itself after 5, 10 or 30 seconds without a touch, one turn in 1, 2, 4 (default) or 8 minutes, at 8, 15 (default), 24 or 30 frames a second (only while you can see it: the popup open or the app window shown, focused or not, standing still on another workspace or with the monitor off and costing no CPU there; a click, drag or the wheel stops it, the pointer merely resting on it does not, and the tooltips keep working; tilted it turns round its axis; each step is timed from the frame last shown, so the pace stays even). While it turns it is drawn more simply (flat instead of hatched zones, a coarser coast, only the chosen place named, the fills at a lower resolution), so turning stays light on the processor.
  • The globe fills the window: as large as the visible height below it allows (the popup's up to its full height), at most the page's width and never smaller than 240 points (below that the page scrolls); it grows and shrinks as you resize the window. The flat map keeps its proportions and narrows, centred, when it would not fit the visible height.
  • Zoom: the buttons at the top right (crosshair: the current place in the middle; − and +), + −, Ctrl + wheel at the pointer or a double click zoom the globe and the flat map in three steps, to about 1,600 km across. Zoomed in, a drag turns and tilts the globe (seen from any latitude) or pans the map; the ruler hides while the map is zoomed. 0 shows the whole earth again. The globe turns by itself only when zoomed out (tilted or not).
  • Optionally the Moon on the map and the globe, where it stands at the zenith right now: a small shaded sphere floating above its shadow, its phase lit towards the Sun (the same phase numbers as More Weather); hovering it names the phase ("Moon · 61 % · waxing") and how it stands at the current place ("Berlin: 23° high · SE · sets 7:10 AM · rises 6:42 PM", or "below the horizon"). Display → Moon view switches it to "As seen from here": the Moon as it stands in the sky of the current place (here or the selected city) at that moment, its lit side tilted as you see it there, a thin crescent's dark side faintly lit by earthshine, and dimmed while it is below the horizon (Meeus' formulas, MoonView.js, checked against JPL Horizons and USNO).
  • A timeline under the map (on by default in the app): ▶ or Space plays a time lapse (a day in a minute, a day in ten seconds, or the seasons: a year in a minute, each day at the same clock time), , . step a day, ⌫ or Now go back. The night, the twilight bands, the Sun and the Moon follow the shown instant, which a label on the map names; the Places tab keeps the real time. On the GPU surface a frame of it changes only the Sun's direction.
  • Buttons whose glyph says it all show only the glyph, their name as a tooltip after a moment (and to screen readers): "+" for a new city, alarm, stopwatch or pomodoro, ‹ › to page the sky events, ▶ for the time lapses, the zoom buttons. Sunrise and sunset are drawn as in More Weather (a horizon with an arrow up or down), in the Sun's gold, in the clock's sun line and in Places.
• Places (its own tab since the World tab became the map alone; the map marks the place selected here, and a click on the map selects it):
  • Your place (the location pin and its name, as in More Weather) and your cities: time, day/night, today, tomorrow or yesterday, and the difference to here, all from the system's time zone database, summer time included. Per row, as More Weather's menu bar entries do it, the sunrise, the sunset and the next of the two with a drawn arrow, in that place's local time (today's, or tomorrow's sunrise once today's are over, "—" in polar day or night); the next one is on in the app, the others off. The selected row is the current place.
  • A clock face per place in one of five styles: classic, minimal, roman, 24 hours (one turn a day, 00 at the bottom, the night part shaded from that place's sunset to sunrise) and dots. The clock on top shows the current place's; with Clock faces in the list (on in the app) each row shows its own small one. Settings → Display → Clock → Clock face style sets one style for the clock on top instead ("Same as the place" by default). e or the pencil on the selected row (any row) opens a chooser under it (← → or a click picks, Enter / Esc close). The style is kept per city in the cities file and for here in more-time-place.json.
  • Cities can be found offline from the zone list, or anywhere through the place search shared with More Weather: Open-Meteo's geocoder while you type; Enter on a place it does not know asks Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) once, at most once a second, and the next Enter adds what it found. Nominatim names no time zone: such a place takes the zone of the nearest zone-list city, marked "≈".
  • The search works with the keys as in More Weather: ↑ ↓ within the results or the cities, Tab between them, Enter adds the result or makes the city current; in the cities (after Tab) + adds the marked result and − removes the marked city (twice), while among the results they are typed like any character ("Saint-Denis"); Esc closes.
  • Settings → General → Places → Import places from More Weather adds More Weather's saved places as cities, in their order, skipping those already here. Each gets the zone of a search for its name (when the first result lies within 25 km), else the nearest zone-list city's. One import reads at most 100 places.
• Alarms:
  • Up to 100, each with a time, the weekdays it repeats on (none: once), a name and its own snooze length.
  • Optionally at a city's time: the editor's Place picks here or a city of the Places tab, and the alarm rings at that time there, summer time included (from the zone's own changes). The card shows both, e.g. "7:00 Tokyo · 12:00 AM here"; a zone this computer does not know is marked.
  • The bar rings them with the popup closed. An alarm missed while the laptop was asleep still rings if it is at most ten minutes late; an older one leaves a "missed" notification.
• Timers:
  • Up to 100, from presets (1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 25 and 60 minutes to begin with; Settings → General → Timers takes your own list) or typed: 10, 1:30, 1h30, 45s. A name can follow the length: 10 Tea starts a ten-minute timer called Tea.
  • Each can be paused, given a minute more or less, reset and named (e), and shows its progress and end time.
• Stopwatches: up to 100, with hundredths and laps (the newest 500 are kept); the fastest lap is marked in the accent colour, the slowest in red.
• Pomodoros:
  • Up to 100, each with its own focus and break lengths (25/5 to begin with).
  • An optional long break every few rounds.
  • Whether the next phase starts by itself.
  • Skipping a phase.
  • A dot for each finished round, and a tally of focus rounds: today and this week under the list, optionally in the clock and in the bar. The items file keeps the count per day for 60 days.
• Astro: the solar system as a clock (on in the app, off in the widget).
  • The Sun and the eight planets where they stand now, from JPL's approximate Keplerian elements, computed on this computer and redrawn every minute. Distances are drawn as r^0.45 (Mercury to Neptune fit in about 1:7); every orbit keeps its true shape and tilt. The planets are small shaded spheres lit from the Sun, in restrained tints, with their names where there is room.
  • Seen at a slant from above the ecliptic: a drag turns and tilts the view (10° to 80° above the ecliptic), the sideways wheel (⇧ wheel) turns it, Ctrl + wheel or + − switch between the whole system, the inner system and Earth's neighbourhood, 0 returns to the start. Like the globe it can turn by itself after a few idle seconds. The far halves of the orbits are fainter.
  • The stars behind everything (on by default): the 1,630 stars to magnitude 5 of the Yale Bright Star Catalogue where they stand on the sky, sized by brightness in faint colours from blue-white to orange; they turn with the view, never with the zoom or the time. The pointer on a bright star names it with its constellation and magnitude ("Sirius · Canis Major · magnitude −1.5"). Constellations (off by default) adds the stick figures and their Latin names, the IAU abbreviation where names crowd. The stars are drawn on a layer of their own, redrawn only when the view turns.
  • The month ring around Earth's orbit: the months' starts and initials, the equinoxes and solstices in the accent colour, and a line from the Sun through Earth as the hand of the year; a dashed arrow (γ) points to the vernal point.
  • The bodies turn as they do in space (IAU rotation model): faint latitude bands round each pole and a meridian line that turns with the body, Uranus on its side, Saturn's rings in their own plane, drawn in front of and behind the planet.
  • Earth and the Moon: the third zoom step and a small inset in the corner (a click on it zooms there) show Earth as a real globe, turned and tilted as it is now and seen from the camera's side, with the land and the night in three steps, and the Moon on its orbit around it (the distance enlarged, the shape and tilt true), lit by the Sun, its near side (marked) always facing Earth. A gold arrow points to the Sun. In the inner system a tiny Moon sits beside Earth.
  • The pointer on a body (or a click, which keeps it) shows its distance from the Sun and from Earth in au and light-minutes, its orbital period, its day and the tilt of its axis (≈ where the rotation is known only roughly); on the Moon its phase, the lit part, its distance in km and light-seconds, its age since the new moon and how it stands at the current place (height, direction, rise and set).
  • More bodies, each group with its own switch: the asteroid and Kuiper belts as faint point bands and the dwarf planets Ceres, Pluto and Eris (on by default); Halley's Comet with its tail pointing away from the Sun; the large moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto around Jupiter, Titan around Saturn) close up while the pointer rests on the planet or after a click on it; Voyager 1 and 2 and New Horizons as arrows at the edge with their distance, and JWST near L2 in the Earth and Moon view. The pointer on any of them names it with its distances, period or speed.
  • The ISS (off by default; it fetches the station's orbit data from CelesTrak, at most twice a day and only while the option is on and the tab shows): in the Earth and Moon view and the inset, a marker above the place it is over (its height enlarged), its ground track for one orbit on the globe, and on hover "over 52° N 88° W · 430 km · one orbit in 93 min". Propagated with SGP4 on this computer; with the timeline more than a week from the data's date it is hidden and the info says why.
  • Under the model a timeline: the year either side of today on a track (a click or a drag picks a day; , . a day, n or ⌫ back to now) and a time lapse (Space or ▶) at a speed from the list beside the date: real time, a day, a month in a minute, a year in an hour, in ten minutes or in a minute. The shown date and time stand beside it and count while it runs. Play on opening (Settings) starts it whenever the tab opens. Go to date (g) travels in a 2.5-second time lapse to any date from 3000 BC to 3000 AD (typed as 1969-07-20 20:17, 20.07.1969 20:17, 07/20/1969 where the language writes it so, or a bare year; this computer's local time); the planets run along their orbits, the Earth spins and the Moon circles on the way, and the view stays at that moment until Now travels back. Outside 1800–2050 the planets come from JPL's long-range elements and are marked approximate. Everything follows the shown moment: the bodies, Earth's lit side, the Moon, the month ring's hand and the hover values.
  • Info under it, one line unless unfolded (a click or i): the Moon's phase with the next new and full moon, the Moon at the current place (height and direction or below the horizon, rise and set), the next equinox or solstice and opposition, the next solar and lunar eclipse, and which planets are in the evening and the morning sky. The pointer on the Sun, a planet or the Moon also names the zodiac constellation it stands in ("in Leo").
  • Events beside it (e, on by default in the app): the 3 sky events before and the 6 after the shown moment: solar and lunar eclipses with their type and whether they can be seen from the current place, the Moon's phases, equinoxes and solstices, oppositions, conjunctions, greatest elongations, close planet pairs, perihelion and aphelion. A filter (all, eclipses, planets, Moon, seasons) and ‹ › (earlier, later) page through them; a click (or ↑ ↓ and Enter) travels there. Eclipses come from NASA's catalogues (2000 BC to AD 3000, read only for the years shown); before 1600 and after 2100 their times are marked ≈. At a solar eclipse the Earth and Moon view shows the Moon's shadow on Earth, at a lunar eclipse the Moon turns copper.
  • Settings → Display → Astro: orbits, names, the month ring, rotation and tilt, the Earth and Moon inset, the info, the events, the belts, the dwarf planets, Halley's Comet, the large moons, the spacecraft, the ISS, the stars, the constellations (hovering a figure highlights and names it), the timeline, its speed and play on opening, turning by itself (delay, speed and frames per second).
• Ringing:
  • Sound through PipeWire (pw-play), chosen per kind from the freedesktop sounds, with a volume setting.
  • A notification with Stop and Snooze buttons.
  • A banner in the popup and the app; Space stops, s snoozes.
  • Nothing is lost to a reboot or a logout: the time of the last check is kept on disk, so an alarm that came due while the computer was off is reported as missed at the next start, and a once-alarm is switched off instead of ringing a day late.
• Chimes:
  • A short beep on the clock, off by default (Settings → Sounds → Chime): every quarter hour (one beep at :15, two at :30, three at :45, four on the hour), every minute, every hour, once a day at a chosen hour, or every N minutes (1 to 1440; up to 60 counted from each full hour, longer intervals from midnight). Settings saved before keep their chime.
  • An optional hour chime (off by default) tells the hour in a lower tone after the interval beeps, on a 12- or 24-hour dial (midnight is 12 or 24 beeps).
  • Five tones to choose from: beep, bell, wood, chirp and glass, each with the hour tone a fifth lower. Its own volume, and test buttons.
  • Mute with the switch in the settings, m, the bell in the clock's corner or IPC; muting applies to the bar, the widget and the app at once. Nothing chimes while something rings, and a chime missed by more than 15 seconds (suspend) is skipped, not caught up. While muted, the right-click notification says so.
  • The tones are synthesized once on this computer (data/chime-tones.py); only one instance plays them, like the alarms.

Everywhere

• Everything keeps running with the popup closed and across restarts: running things are stored as moments (when a timer ends, when a stopwatch started), not as counters.
• Settings (Ctrl , or the gear), with a search across every page at the top (/): it lists every matching setting, in the interface language or in English, under "Page › Card › Section", each one working as on its page.
  • General, in sections: language and format (language, 24 or 12 hours); location (detecting your location); defaults for new items (snooze, timer presets, pomodoro lengths and whether the next phase starts by itself); motion (for every view that turns by itself: the delay, one turn in how many minutes, frames per second); app (position in the bar, app launcher entry, Control hints: the lines that explain keys and gestures above each tab, in the editors, the ringing banner and the settings; off, they go and leave their room to the content, the Shortcuts page stays); back up and restore (export and import of everything, More Weather's places, reset). An export goes to a file name ending in .json and replaces an existing file only if that is a More Time export, or after a second press; an import reads files up to 1 MiB, keeping a backup of the settings it replaces.
  • Display: separately for the menu bar, the widget and the app.
    • Menu bar: which entries show, when, and in what order; bold while hovered; coloured values; the bar's tooltip; open the widget on hover.
    • Widget and app: the clock (clock, sun, more), which tabs there are, their order and the tab on opening; for the World tab the map (shape: flat map or globe, ruler, labels, turning by itself), the sky (night, Moon) and the timeline; for the Places tab the differences, the clock faces and the sun times; for the Astro tab what is shown, the objects and the time. The chips under the World and Astro views switch the same things for the view shown. "Copy to the widget" / "Copy to the app" copies one profile to the other (pressed twice).
  • Sounds: the sound for alarms, timers and pomodoro phases and their volume; the chimes (interval, tone, hour chime, volume, mute).
  • Shortcuts: every key and click, listed.
  • Sources: where times, places and the map come from.
  • What's new: this change log, read from the installed plugin (no network): a card per version, newest first, the installed one marked, the three newest open and the older ones behind "Show older versions" (Enter). The log is in English.
• 30 languages, right to left included.
• Full keyboard control, settings included (see below), and an IPC interface.

Data sources

• Time zones: the system's tz database. zdump gives every offset change for the next years, and zone1970.tab names a city with coordinates for every zone. Nothing is fetched for times.
• Here: Omarchy's weather location (settings/weather.json, only read); with Detect my location on and no weather location, IP geolocation through ipwho.is, ipapi.co or GeoJS, which see your IP address; otherwise the city of your time zone from zone1970.tab. Sunrise, sunset and the twilight are computed locally.
• Place search: Open-Meteo geocoding while typing, for places that are not in the zone list; on Enter for a place it does not know, Nominatim (OpenStreetMap), never from type-ahead and at most once a second, as its usage policy asks. Only the typed text is sent.
• Map: Natural Earth coastlines (1:50m) and time zones (1:10m), public domain, projected with Equal Earth and shipped with the plugin (data/worldmap.json, 170 KB). The zones are standard time; summer time is not drawn on the map, but the clocks include it.
• Solar system: the planets' Keplerian elements and their rates from JPL's Approximate Positions of the Planets (E. M. Standish, table 1, valid 1800–2050, about an arcminute; tables 2a and 2b with the extra terms for Jupiter to Neptune for 3000 BC to 3000 AD), solved on this computer (Astro.js); nothing is downloaded. The bodies' poles, prime meridians and rotation rates from the IAU WGCCRE model (NAIF pck00010), Saturn's rings from NASA's fact sheet, the Moon's place and distance from Meeus, checked against JPL Horizons and SBDB (AstroRotation.js, AstroEvents.js; see ASTRO-MODULES.md). Ceres, Pluto and Eris from JPL's Small-Body Database, Halley from JPL Horizons' elements, the large moons from JPL's satellite mean elements, the spacecraft from Horizons' state vectors (AstroBodies.js).
• Sky: the stars to magnitude 5 from the Yale Bright Star Catalogue (public domain, with the IAU's star names), the constellation figures and names from d3-celestial (BSD 3-Clause), the eclipses from NASA's Five Millennium Catalogs ("Eclipse Predictions by Fred Espenak (NASA's GSFC)"), all shipped in data/ (tools/build-astro-stars.py, tools/build-astro-eclipses.py); the Moon as seen from a place after Meeus (MoonView.js). Nothing is fetched; ASTRO-SKY.md has the details.
• ISS: one two-line element set (NORAD 25544) from CelesTrak, only while the Astro option ISS is on and the tab shows, at most every 12 hours; checked (checksums, catalogue number) and propagated with SGP4 (AstroIss.js, after Vallado et al., "Revisiting Spacetrack Report #3", tested against its test case and against api.wheretheiss.at).
• Sounds: the freedesktop sound theme (/usr/share/sounds/freedesktop). The five chime tones are synthesized once by python3 (data/chime-tones.py) into ~/.cache/more-time; nothing is downloaded.

Requirements

• Omarchy with the Quattro shell (Omarchy 4).
• zdump and the tz database (part of glibc's tzdata), pw-play (PipeWire), notify-send and python3 (for the chime tones), all installed with Omarchy.
• An internet connection only for searching places outside the zone list, and for Detect my location if you switch it on.

More Time goes into the center of the bar. It can stand next to Omarchy's own clock: set that clock to a date-only format (for example "format": "ddd d MMM" in its entry in ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json), or remove it.

Standalone app

Optional. The app shows the same view in a normal window. Open it with o in the popup, a click on the time, the button in its corner, or:

~/.config/omarchy/plugins/more-time/app/more-time

Settings → General → Show in app launcher adds a desktop entry and an icon in your theme's colours, and removes them again when switched off. From a terminal:

~/.config/omarchy/plugins/more-time/app/more-time --install-desktop-entry
~/.config/omarchy/plugins/more-time/app/more-time --remove-desktop-entry

App and bar share alarms, timers, cities and settings. Only one of them rings: the bar, or the app while no bar is running.

Updating

omarchy plugin update more-time

See CHANGELOG.md for release notes; Settings → What's new shows them in the app, read from the installed plugin. Your settings, cities and items stay as they are. From 1.0 to 1.1: the city list moves to its own Places tab (hidden if you had switched the list off), so the number keys of the tabs after World move one on; chimes you set up keep ringing (only fresh settings start with them off).

Removal

1. If you added the app to the launcher, turn Show in app launcher off first. If you forget, the leftover entry deletes itself the next time you open it.

2. Remove the plugin:

   omarchy plugin remove more-time

3. Optional: delete the settings, alarms, timers and cities:

   rm -f ~/.local/state/omarchy/settings/more-time-*.json

Development

The time calculations (zone tables, alarms, timers, stopwatches, pomodoros, chimes), the map projection and data, and the translations have tests for Node's built-in test runner:

node --test tests/*.test.mjs
tests/qml-syntax.sh    # every QML file parses (qmllint)
tests/ui-shots.sh      # screenshots of every view, offscreen, with a throwaway HOME
tests/ui-showcase.sh   # the README pictures: each scene in 12 or 24 hours at a set moment

Every Text sets textFormat: Text.PlainText, so a place name or label holding HTML is never rendered as rich text; tests/plain-text.test.mjs checks the texts fed by the identifiers in tests/plain-text-sources.json. Texts for notify-send go through Model.notificationText(). Every text input is TimeTextField.qml: one line on TextEdit, read-only until it has the keyboard focus. Qt 6.11 and 6.12.0 read the clipboard payload for TextInput's canPaste; TextEdit only checks the offered formats, so the clipboard is read only when you paste into a field (tests/text-fields.test.mjs).

The texts of the 30 languages live in i18n/<language>.js, one file each (en.js, de.js, … zh_TW.js); I18n.js imports them and holds the lookup. tests/load.mjs resolves those imports for the Node tests.

tools/build-preview.sh <its output directory> puts screenshots/ and preview.png together from a showcase run, in the colours of the current Omarchy theme.

With MORE_TIME_SOUND_DRY_RUN=1 in the environment, sounds and chimes are only logged (pw-play command lines), never played; the screenshot run uses it.

The map data is built from Natural Earth with python3 tools/build-worldmap.py. That is only needed when the source data changes; the result is committed. python3 tools/build-globe-land.py then turns its land into data/globe-land.json (latitude and longitude, counter-clockwise rings) for the tilted globe view.

The sun and the sky (overhead point, elevation, sun times, twilight steps and colours) live in Sky.js, which knows no projection. EqualEarth.js holds the flat map's projection (project, unproject, X_MAX, Y_MAX, outline, graticule), the flat twilight polygons (twilightPolygon, nightPolygon) and ringToMap, which puts a ring of data/globe-land.json on the map, cut at ±180° for strokes. WorldMap.js keeps the time zones and the old names as thin wrappers over both. Moon.js draws the Moon (from space, its earthshine, the compass point of an azimuth); MoonView.js (Meeus, chapters 47 and 48) gives it as seen from a place at an instant: altitude, azimuth, the tilt of its lit limb, the lit part, rise and set. Sky.sunColor is the one gold every Sun is drawn in. Globe.js holds the World tab's globe and, for More Weather's globe, a view that can tilt to any latitude and zoom (viewMatrix, prepareVectors, prepareLand, projectView, unprojectView, frontPolygonsView, frontLinesView, capPolygonView, gridLinesView), working on unit vectors and joining clipped fills along the rim. Their tests are tests/sky.test.mjs, tests/equal-earth.test.mjs and tests/globe.test.mjs; tests/globe-time.test.mjs covers the parts that need More Time's flat map data.

The World tab's globe and map draw their surface on the GPU where shaders run: TimeGlobeSurface.qml (shared with More Weather, with shaders/globe.frag, its compiled shaders/globe.frag.qsb and tools/build-shaders.sh) projects an equirectangular picture (TimeGlobeTexture.qml, 2048 × 1024, painted once per change: the zones, the land, the coast and the grid) onto the globe or the Equal Earth map and adds the golden and blue bands and the night in the shader (its band uniforms are optional, off for More Weather); per frame the Canvas draws only the Sun, the Moon, the places and the rim (zoomed in and at rest also a crisp coast). From z3, and on the software scene graph (the offscreen screenshot harness: CHECK surface off offscreen), the Canvas draws everything as before. qs ipc … call more-time status reports globe: { surface, fps, cpuPercent, turning } for the shown globe.

The Astro tab is TimeAstro.qml over two pure files: Astro.js (JPL's approximate elements, Kepler's equation, heliocentric positions, orbits, periods and the year's marks: equinoxes, solstices and month starts) and AstroDate.js (reading "Go to date", the eased travel) and AstroView.js (the r^0.45 model scale, body sizes, the camera, projection, depth order, zoom steps and hit testing). tests/astro.test.mjs checks the positions against references derived independently (the Sun's longitude from the Astronomical Almanac's formula, the 2026 seasons, Earth's perihelion, the Mars opposition of February 2027), tests/astro-view.test.mjs the view. The stars come from AstroStars.js with data/astro-stars.json and data/astro-constellations.json; AstroView.skyProjection puts them on a sphere at infinity for the camera alone (stereographic, 110° across the diagonal), drawn on their own Canvas that repaints only when the view turns. ASTRO-SKY.md describes the sky modules (stars, eclipses, the almanac, the Moon from here, time lapses) and their sources.

Some files are shared with More Weather (the switches, buttons, text fields, bar placement, app launcher entry, the request helper, the place search with PlaceSearch.js and its test, the Moon with Moon.js, MoonView.js, their tests and the MoonSphere component, Sky.js, EqualEarth.js, Globe.js and data/globe-land.json with their tests, and parts of the test setup). With both repositories side by side, tests/shared-files.test.mjs checks that the copies match, and tools/sync-shared.sh from-sibling or to-sibling copies them across with the names changed.
