Choose a 12-hour or 24-hour clock
Every time in Rookery is written the way your own clock writes it: 9:14 am on a 12-hour clock, or 09:14 on a 24-hour one. That's the inbox, conversations, Today, Calendar, Offer times, Send later and the booking cards in a thread, all the same way.
Pick your clock
- Go to Settings → Just me.
- Under Clock, pick 12-hour (9:14 am), 24-hour (09:14) or Match this device.
- Click Save.
Match this device is where everyone starts. Rookery uses the clock your browser's language uses, so a computer set to English (US) shows 9:14 am and one set to English (UK) or German shows 09:14. On a second device with a different setting, times there follow that device.
How times read
- On a 12-hour clock, a time in a list has its minutes (9:00 am), and a time inside a sentence leaves them out on the hour (Mon 12 Oct, 10 am).
- A span says am or pm once when both ends share it: 9–9:30 am, or 11 am–1 pm. On a 24-hour clock it's 09:00–09:30.
- Fields where you type a time, like working hours, show it your way, and take either kind: 9, 9:30, 5pm or 17:00.
Emails and other people's pages
- Emails Rookery sends for you, like the times you offer, a booking confirmation, or the line above a quoted email, use your clock.
- Pages other people open, like your booking page or a client's private page, use the clock on their device, so a client in London sees 14:00 and one in New York sees 2:00 pm.
Your time zone is a separate setting: see Get your daily brief for how Rookery picks it and asks when you travel.
