Show HN: SyncHours – drag one slider to find your remote team's overlap hours (play.google.com)
Hi HN, I built SyncHours because I was tired of doing timezone arithmetic
in my head every time I tried to schedule something with a distributed
team. Every "world clock" app shows you the time in each city, but none
of them show you when everyone's actually awake and working at the same
time — you still have to do the math yourself, city by city.
SyncHours flips that: you stack your team's cities in a list, and drag
a single scrubber across a 24-hour timeline. Every city's row updates
live, color-coded into working hours, fringe hours, and rest hours, so
you can see at a glance who's free, who's stretching, and who's asleep.
There's also a one-tap "find best overlap" that scans the day for you
instead of you hunting for it.
A few things I cared about:
- No signup. Open it, add cities, done. I wanted to be able to send a
link to a teammate and have them use it in 10 seconds, not create an
account first.
- Shareable links, so you can send a specific overlap window instead of
describing it in words ("Tuesday, my morning, your evening, ugh").
- Calendar export once you've picked a time.
It's a solo side project — free, Android only for now (I'd love iOS but
haven't gotten there yet). Built it for my own team originally and
figured other people doing remote/distributed work have the same
annoyance.
Happy to answer questions about how it works or why I made specific
choices — and very open to "this is missing X" feedback, since it's
still evolving based on what I personally hit.
