minute

Returns the minutes of the current time or of a given unix time.

Keyboard Maestro: MINUTE

Details #

minute(time?) takes zero or one argument and returns a number: 0 to 59.

With no argument it reads the current time. With an argument, which is a unix time in seconds (the kind now and time return), it reads that moment instead. It always uses the Mac's local time zone.

Parameters #

Takes 0 to 1 argument. {{ minute(text?) }}

Examples #

minute()
→ 30
minute(1000000000)
→ 46
minute(time(2026, 10, 24, 15, 30))
→ 30

Gotchas #

  • Anything that isn't a number is an error: minute() needs a number, got text.

  • The time must be in seconds, not milliseconds: a value in milliseconds lands tens of thousands of years in the future.
