Last commit August 2016. Doesn't look like it's being maintained and I remember having issues that last time I used it.

I use Hammerspoon for a similar use case. Works great and updates roll out pretty regularly. https://www.hammerspoon.org/

Wow, I always skipped over hammerspoon because I thought it was only for window management. My eyes are opened, this is great!

All I want in my menu bar is a UTC clock next to my local clock. Do we have a tool for that?

Among other features, iStat Menus has a pretty flexible date line. I have a date + times in three zones.

Link?

I believe there is a similar feature in a GNOME extension, called Argos, as well.

Thank you! You won't believe that I've been looking for just this tool for the last several months (I've been searching along the lines of "i3 status bar for gnome-shell" but was unsuccessful).

I use hammerspoon for a light/dark mode toggle as well
