About Nocturne
macOS offers no switch to hide the menu bar clock. Nocturne works around that by making the clock unreadable with one click, and can follow your Focus status so that turning on Do Not Disturb on any device also hides the time on your Mac.
It requires macOS 14 or later and states that it needs no special permissions or private APIs. Download it from the releases page.
