Problem Statement

My Claude surface, the Claude iPad app, tells me that it doesn’t have the ability to get the timezone from the host system (my iPad). So I have to tell it which time zone I’m in and have it remember that, until I travel which I would need to tell it what timezone I’ve traveled to and when I return back home, etc. Please give the Claude app the ability to query the system it’s running on for this information. Shocked it can’t do it presently!

Proposed Solution

Query the host system for timezone, time, etc.

Alternative Solutions

My session has been interning it from pasted logs, etc. But that’s a poor solution, so it basically asked me if it should just remember that it’s in the Pacific timezone and asked me to update it when that changes.

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful
