Timestamp converter for macOS
Make Unix time readable in one shortcut.
Copy the number out of the log line and get the unit, the local time, UTC and both ISO 8601 forms at once — without opening a converter site and squinting at which field is which.

Because “is that seconds or milliseconds?” costs more time than it should.
A timestamp in a log tells you nothing until you convert it, and the conversion is exactly where mistakes happen: the wrong unit puts your incident in 1970, the wrong timezone puts it an hour off the graph you are comparing it to. Camel shows the unit it detected and every form of the result together.
- Detected unit — seconds or milliseconds, stated out loud
- Local — the time as your Mac sees it
- UTC — the time your server logs were written in
- ISO 8601 — in UTC and with your local offset, ready to paste into a query

The same workflow
Identifiers and timestamps, one menu away.
Current timestamp
Put the Unix time for right now on the clipboard when a fixture, a query or a cache key needs one.
Generate a UUID
Fresh identifiers for tests and seed data, without opening a generator site or writing a one-line script.
Normalize what you have
Fix the case and formatting of an identifier that arrived from somewhere else before it goes into your data.
All of it runs against whatever you last copied, so the loop stays the same as everything else in Camel: copy in the app you are already in, run the action from the menu bar or a global shortcut, paste the result back. Debugging an incident rarely gets easier, but reading its timestamps does.
FAQ
Good to know.
Does Camel detect seconds and milliseconds automatically?
Yes. It reports the unit it detected along with the result, so a millisecond value does not silently turn into a date in 1970.
Which formats does it show?
Local time, UTC, ISO 8601 in UTC and ISO 8601 with your local offset — all at once, so you can copy whichever one the next tool expects.
Can I get the current timestamp?
Yes. Camel can put the current Unix timestamp on the clipboard, which saves a trip to a website when you need a value for a fixture or a query.
Does it generate UUIDs too?
Yes. UUID generation lives in the same Utilities area, so identifiers for tests and seed data are one action away.
Does the conversion happen offline?
Yes. Timestamp conversion and UUID generation run inside the app, with no network involved.
