Eleven workflows. A click or a keyboard shortcut.

Your timestamp.
Your workflow.

An expiry time from an API. An event in a log. A boundary case in a test. Discover how UnixTime helps you work with timestamps.

Backend & API

When does this token actually expire?

Understand a timestamp from an API response and generate a suitable value for a test request.

See the workflow →DevOps & SRE

Nanosecond log analysis. No rounding.

Place log events in time while keeping the original value available for searches.

See the workflow →QA & Testing

Test the day boundary. Skip the timestamp maths.

Generate a specific expiry time for a test without calculating epoch values by hand.

See the workflow →Data Engineering & Analytics

Does this event time fit your data?

Check a sample to see whether an event date and its timestamp unit make sense.

See the workflow →Frontend & Fullstack

Wrong date? Check the timestamp first.

Separate the time supplied by an API from the way it is displayed in the interface.

See the workflow →iOS & macOS

Apple time meets Unix time. Keep them in sync.

Compare a Cocoa value and a Unix value as the same instant.

See the workflow →Security & Digital Forensics

Forensics needs precision. UnixTime does not round.

Translate a known artefact time value locally into a date for working notes.

See the workflow →.NET & Cross-platform Development

.NET ticks on your Mac. Readable at a glance.

Interpret ticks and FILETIME explicitly without looking up epoch offsets.

See the workflow →Technical Support

Turn a long number into a clear bug report.

Document a log time clearly while keeping the search value in the ticket.

See the workflow →IoT & Embedded

Your telemetry. Every nanosecond.

Check whether a device time makes sense before investigating clock synchronisation.

See the workflow →Students & Educators

Understand Unix time with a concrete date.

Use concrete examples to understand how numbers, units and date representations relate.
