Interplanetary Clock Lite version is a free program, with no ads whatsoever, that lets you view time, set alarms, timer and stopwatch with full adjustability of time for planet Earth and planet Mars.
Interplanetary Clock Full version is a program that lets you view time, set alarms, timer and stopwatch with full adjustability of time for planet Earth, planet Mars and you can enter a timescale for any planet you chose to input the data for.
Another totally different and really cool thing you can do with the full version of Interplanetary clock is lifeline scales for animals, wine, cars, pets and so on! Say for a pet, let's use cats, every human year is the same as 7 cat years, so create a new 'world' with your cat's name and on the milliseconds per day menu divide 86400002 by 7 and enter that number! in the discovery date enter your cat's birthday in milliseconds (that's 31536000730 multiplied by birth year, then add the number of days past the birth year multiplied by 86400002. Now if you want you can swap out the background pic to one of your cat playing or whatever and change the clock face to a pic of your cat's face!

Interplenetary Clock Full Version
Yes. When you start Interplanetary Clock it tries to connect to the time server to set up the correct time, If you are too far from Earth for a connection to the time data server or internet, and the program is shut down after losing service, there are 2 possible outcomes to the time it will load,
1. If you have no internet connection and are shutting the program off after running it for the first time it will assume the time and date from the data file which is pre set for 14:24:22 day:181 year:2015 at EST.
2. If you are not shutting down the program for the first time it will have recorded the time you shut it down. When restarting at a later date, if you know the amount of time lapse from shutdown to reboot you can easily adjust it in the manual set option of the menu.
how accurate is it?
