Is there a Google Authenticator with the ability to choose a time zone?

I am looking for an analogue of the Google Authenticator application for Android with the ability to individually set its own time zone for each entry. In this case, the same algorithm must be used - Google Auth.
If, in addition to this, it will be possible to sort your records more compactly (I have more than 50 of them), that's even better.
I'd be grateful if anyone could advise.

Here they write:
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/2653433
That is, the protocol implies that the time zone is not used.
That is, it turns out that you need your own version of the protocol ...
The same is in their tracker:
https://github.com/scheb/two-factor-bundle/issues/56

Time zones don't matter for Google Authenticator because it is using the Unix timestamp internally...
The only thing that could happen with time zones is that the time zone setting on the server/phone is not set correctly and therefore the machine cannot calculate the right UTC time and therefore the Unix timestamp would be wrong on one machine.

Hmm, strange, but how then to be in this situation? I have Moscow time on my phone, accounts where the same time zone work.
There is also a virtual machine where, for some reason, I need to use the Canadian time zone, and authorization is not suitable there if I install it on a phone with the Moscow time zone
