You can easily achieve that by getting the time zone and adjust the time such as.

```auto
new Date().getTime() + (new Date().getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000)

```

This should return the timestamp in your local time.

thanks for the finishing touch

I realize that the script is not much faster than the api  
in any case I would have discovered one of the uses of the webviewer and it is a lot

Thank you for your support

If Thunkable provides a way to run JavaScript code directly you would see it very very fast just like IFTTT and other systems but even with this speed issue, going through `Web Viewer` is better than API for:

- It runs in both the computer and the phone whereas most APIs will not run from the computer platform.
- You have the flexibility to alter outpot or even the process because you have direct access to JS code.
- It can run offline if packaged within the app assuming the long standing bug is fixed.
- you do not need to depend on an external source maintaining the API service.
