About:
ChronyControl provides a native macOS GUI for installing, configuring, and managing the chronyd time synchronization daemon. It simplifies setting up local NTP servers or connecting to public time sources without editing configuration files manually. The tool is essential for maintaining precise time on isolated networks or for advanced timekeeping requirements.
Key Features:
  • Graphical interface for configuring chronyd
  • Easy setup of local NTP servers
  • Management of time sources and access rules
  • Support for macOS-specific service management
Use Cases:
  • Running a local NTP server for a LAN
  • Configuring precise time sync on isolated networks
  • Managing chronyd without command-line editing
Alternatives:
  • Homebrew chrony – CLI-only installation; requires manual config file editing
  • Apple's system time sync – Simpler but lacks advanced configuration and local server features
