With the recently announced Mac App store on the horizon — which brings an iOS-esque store to Mac OS X platforms — Cydia creator Jay “Saurik” Freeman plans to strike while the iron is hot.

I’ve been looking for any easy way to convert time zones on the iPhone for a long time, and Filopanti fits the bill perfectly.

“Filopanti” is named after Quirico Filopanti, who was the first person in history to propose a worldwide system of time zones in 1858. Filopanti’s interface is elegant and dead easy to use. With Filopanti, you’ll never be wondering what time it is across the country or on the other side of the world…
