We wish, but unfortunately, no. Because of operating system restrictions, a web page can not change the system time. When the Time.is web page loads, the displayed time is synchronized to our server time, but your system clock time is unchanged.

Yes, press shift D, or go to the configuration page.

There's an option for 12/24 hour mode on the configuration page.

See our how to use Time.is page.

We recommend that you make sure your system is configured to synchronize automatically to a time server.

You may get better results by using a time server close to your geographical location. For a list of time servers, see The NTP Pool Project.
