Frequently Asked Questions

Is this timestamp from your server?

No, it comes from your device clock. If your system time is wrong, this figure will be wrong too. Server-side systems should always use their own clock, ideally synchronised with NTP.

Why does the timestamp keep changing?

Because it is the current instant, advancing one unit per second. Use the freeze button to hold a value steady while you copy it.

How do I get the current timestamp in code?

JavaScript: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) for seconds. Python: int(time.time()). PHP: time(). SQL: EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM NOW()). Shell: date +%s.

What is the ISO 8601 format?

An international standard written as 2026-03-06T14:30:00Z, where Z means UTC. It sorts correctly as plain text and is unambiguous across locales, unlike 03/06/2026.
