What is Time Travel?
"Time Travel" is a versatile Chrome extension designed to temporarily manipulate a webpage's awareness of date and time, thereby making it possible to debug or test time-sensitive frontend applications without the need to modify the system-wide date and time. It can pause the clock, move time forward at a normalized rate, and revert back to system time effortlessly.

Summary

Change the current date and time seen by websites. You can use it to debug time-dependent frontend/JavaScript applications without having to change the system time.

Usage:

  • Click the extension icon in the toolbar.
  • Enter the date and time you want to set and confirm, e.g. "2023-04-27 12:40" (local time)
  • When first activating the extension on a tab, click Reload when prompted.
  • Any JavaScript Date object in the current tab now returns the fake date/time you set.

To restore the system time, click the extension icon again and press Reset.

When the fake time is turned on, the clock is paused by default. You can press the play (▶) button to make the fake clock tick forward at a normal rate. Press stop (⏹) to pause the clock.
