@jsthomason: Thanks for reporting this. The app doesn't currently try to make any automatic adjustments based on the system time, since we know some users like to do everything in UTC, which is how it behaves by default. I'm not sure if you spotted it, but there is an option in the Preferences menu to set the timezone. This will adjust the times shown for the displayed events and when you hover your mouse over the graph. Unfortunately the values on the X axis itself are not adjusted, and we have an open issue #1057 tracking that. Since that sounds like it may be the nugget of what you experienced, my recommendation would be to keep an eye on that issue. I'll add comments there about your bumping into this and mention it to the team to help boost the priority. I'll wait to hear from you before closing this one.

Hello again @jsthomason. Since I've not seen another update from you in a couple weeks, I'm going to go ahead and close this one as a duplicate of #1057. Please do keep an eye on that one and feel free to comment more over there if you'd like. Thanks for your help improving Brim!
