MarketClock

A Mac menu bar clock for futures traders. Know which session is live, how long it has left, and whether Globex is open, without doing time zone math.

Free for Mac

Your trading day, in the menu bar

MarketClock was built for traders of CME futures such as Micro Nasdaq (MNQ) and gold. It keeps the session in progress and its countdown in your menu bar, and opens a dashboard with the whole trading day on a 24-hour timeline.

Requires macOS 27 or later. Available on the Mac App Store.

Features

Everything about the session clock, nothing else

Live session and countdown

Asia, London, NY RTH and the post-close hour, with the time left in the one that is running now.

Next session at a glance

See when the next session opens, so you are at the desk before the move, not after it.

Globex status

Open, in the daily halt, closed for the weekend, or closed or closing early for a CME holiday.

CME holiday calendar

Holiday closures and early halts for equity and metals futures are built in, no internet needed.

Session alerts

Optional notifications at the open, a few minutes before, or at the close of any session.

Your own sessions

Switch on presets like ICT killzones or gold key times, or add sessions in any time zone.

Desktop widget

Put the current session and market status on your desktop next to your charts.

Daylight saving handled

Each session is kept in its home time zone, so it stays right when the US and UK change clocks on different dates.

Private by design

No account, no tracking, no network access. Everything runs on your Mac.
