Capture device system clock

Questions about Thunkable X
1

Is there a way to capture a device’s system clock without using external sources?
My apps need to capture the device’s system clock to properly time stamp an event.
The MIT App Inventor 2 has blocks to capture time.now. I wonder if there exists such blocks on thunkable?

If you click on the “device” category in the left navigation bar in Thunkable, you can use use “current hour” and “current minute” blocks to retrieve the time:

In the device option, you can find the block in there. Here is an example where i also programmed it to chime once every 15 minutes and can also be done with that monitor button:
