Clock time, the default. Which of these hours suits you, and which clash your chart, is worked out from your own pillars in the app.
What 庚午 means for you depends on your own four pillars.
The app rates the day against your chart, gives you your own 宜 and 忌, and names the hours that suit you. No sign-up for the chart.
