- Show the timezone name/descriptor if I select a city (yes, it already says 'GMT+X', but it would be helpful to have the local timezone name of that city as well)
- Somehow select a time for a different day. E.g. if I want to compare the times for the 22nd of October 2024 instead of today (Countries/Cities/Regions swap timezones x-times a year, on different days)
I was thinking it would be cool to add another slider for day of the year. That way you can see how the differences change as local timezones roll through their own daylight savings time or other adjustments. For example, right now Asuncion Paraguay is +3 hours ahead of Chicago U.S. but in April it will be only one hour ahead.
Ah that was intentional, it disables the sorting on smaller screens. I am working on some UI refinement for smaller screens and will re-enable sorting after that.
I've always been a fan of the https://everytimezone.com interface, which seems like it may have been acquired at some point. Still works brilliantly though!
I depends on this, but Google Calendar only lets you add a second time zone. They don't take up much space, I'd love to have 3 or 4. Has anybody figured out a way to do that?
This is a great tool. Thank you. As an international student in US with a lag of 10-12 hours with my home country, this will be very helpful in scheduling calls.
I actually quite like the amount of dead space, as most time conversion tools I have used have been filled to the gills with information whereas I am typically only looking for one or two specific data points. To be honest, with many time conversion apps I often even struggle to distinguish a meaningful header, main content, and footer as they will often resemble some sort of industrial ticker. I know, different tools for different purposes, but that is exactly why I like this: it achieves simple comparisons simply.
I’m not saying add more things and information. I’m saying the opposite - remove things (white space) so I can look at more than three timezones changing (which is my use case as I run a ticketing site with venues around the world).
If you're one of those "give me a terminal or give me death" master race kind of person, then I have a little shell script I use for this:
% tz
US West 18:39 -0800 PST
US East 21:39 -0500 EST
UTC 02:39 +0000 UTC
Ireland/UK 02:39 +0000 GMT
West Europe 03:39 +0100 CET
New Zealand 15:39 +1300 NZDT
Current 02:39 +0000 GMT
% tz 18:00
US West 10:00 -0800 PST
US East 13:00 -0500 EST
UTC 18:00 +0000 UTC
Ireland/UK 18:00 +0000 GMT
West Europe 19:00 +0100 CET
New Zealand 07:00 +1300 NZDT
Current 18:00 +0000 GMT
I didn't know date supported that – can still do that with "tz '4 hours ago'".
For me the most useful part is being able to quickly translate things like "let's do a video chat at 3pm PST" to something that makes sense, which is why it had the second argument to set the timezone.
I've been a big fan of worldtimebuddy[1] for a long time. I book a lot of meetings across timezones and it's makes it very easy to see when a good time for a meeting would be between sydney tokyo and miami as an example
Out of curiosity, would you prefer to see all the options laid out so you can quickly scan which ones would be optimal? Or would you prefer to click a button and then it just schedules the meeting for you?
Great UI design; clean, intuitive, and useful. Thank you for this!
On a side note, I'd really like to know what broken mechanism aggressively downranks such quality community submissions. 67 upvotes in 2 hours, and only ranked 9th. Meanwhile, another post with fewer upvotes in more time is ranked 2nd. Something is very wrong here. I'd love to see more posts like this one, and fewer standard blog articles that are hitting the front page for the third time in five years.

[ 4.3 ms ] story [ 243 ms ] threadIt would be nice to be able to share a set of timezones by sharing a URL with parameters.
Can I edit the name of the cities? As in I want to label as San Francisco instead of "Los Angeles"
Shameless plug for my own site that does something similar: https://currenttimeutc.com/
- 12/24 hour setting should be detected based on browser locale.
- Colon symbol is broken on Firefox + Chrome for me in Linux (Shows U+FE55 symbol).
- Ability to toggle showing all cards in a single column layout so you can see the sliders position relative to each other more easily.
Any way to "pin" the current time so it acts as a live world clock?

it has a nice world map, but its call planner feature is simpler than some of the alternatives mentioned here.
