If you work online with clients from different regions, time zones are especially important to you. After all, you need to know exactly what time it is in another city or continent so that you can call without waking up a colleague or send work on time.
While the sun rises in the east, the west is still asleep. Using a regular world clock that only shows the current time is not very helpful for planning future meetings. In some time zones, you are not even on the same day of the week. The services and apps we have selected make this task easy.
Time Buddy
Time Buddy — one of the most famous services for working with different time zones. Although there are many similar tools, the time display system in Time Buddy is one of the most convenient.
Each time zone is represented by a number of blocks. You can add, remove and sort added cities. You can also rename locations if you register on the site and group them into tabs.
Time Buddy can be used as a tool for full-fledged remote work planning, as it allows you to export data to Outlook, Google Calendar, etc. It also allows you to create event pages and share them with other users. And highlighting weekends in a particular country and warning about the transition to daylight saving time (a week before the change) will be really useful for many users.
The mobile app has a minimalist interface and is very easy to use. But for free you can only add up to four cities. To remove this limitation, you will have to pay $3 per month.
Available for iPhone / Android And web browser.
Time.is
Service Time.is covers 7 million locations worldwide and helps you compare their time with yours. And it's all displayed on a large digital clock. It takes into account daylight saving time and also shows sunrise and sunset times.
If you click on the "More" link, you can see the time zone, latitude and longitude, demographic information of the settlement, holidays, and also get a link to Wikipedia. Using the Time.is service and its atomic clock (the most accurate), you can set the computer clock so that it does not lag behind by a second.
Every Time Zone
Service Every Time Zone solves the problem of time zones with one line: you will never have to worry about calculating the difference between them again. It automatically converts your local time into 12 time zones.
The offset relative to UTC is used for calculations. The transition to summer time is indicated in brackets. When you move the green slider indicating the local time, it changes accordingly in other zones. The time of day is also indicated by different shades on the strip. With their help, you can easily understand when, for example, it is morning, day or night in Berlin.
Zones
When you first launch the Zones app, it does not display any time zones other than the current one. This is done on purpose so that you don’t have to delete unnecessary ones. To add the desired city, simply click the plus button in the lower right corner.
The latest Zones update introduces an automatic sorting feature. You can sort cities alphabetically, in ascending or descending order of time difference, or by GMT. If necessary, you can switch to manual sorting. There is a Today widget for iPhone that helps you quickly view the current time in added cities.
Available only for iPhone.
TimeZone
TimeZoner has the same features as Zones, but requires additional steps to change the time in a time zone, and there is no widget. However, there are 150,000 locations around the world to choose from, there is support for a dark theme, and automatic detection of the current time zone.
There is synchronization with the calendar, so you can see your free time before making an online appointment with someone. The application can work without Internet access. In the next version, the developers promise to add weather forecast for selected locations.
Available only for iPhone.
There.pm
If you are a MacOS user, then with the help of There.pm You can add an application to the status bar that will track time directly on your desktop. You can add your friends and employees from other cities with their photos and names to the tracking list.
The company says it will soon release a Windows 10 app and integrate with Slack, allowing you to import your entire team in one go. Once you create a team, everyone on the team will be able to instantly access information about who has what time of day.
But now the team feed is available, where you can see what your colleagues are doing now. Naturally, if they have told you about it. If you need to organize a meeting, but you don’t know when it’s best to do it, you can use the Suggested Times function. After that, each team member will be able to suggest when it would be most convenient for them to come to the online conference.
World Clock Pro
The World Clock Pro app is designed as an analog clock divided into day and night. The app database contains over 142,000 locations, has automatic tracking of daylight saving time, and supports the Today widget on iPhone. It will be the perfect companion for planning any webinars, meetings, group events, and calls.
To find out what time it is in another city when it is, for example, 17:30 in your city, just drag the clock hands. You can add an event, schedule a meeting and share it with friends in just a few clicks.
Available for iPhone And MacOS.
Circa
One of the few apps that is compatible with the Apple Watch, Circa's interface resembles the activity rings in the Health app. Only instead of step count and exercise, it uses time zone rings.
Circa can sync with your calendar so you can quickly see when you're free or busy. You can create and send invitations from the app itself.
Available only for iPhone.
Globo
Globo offers much more than a typical app that tells you what time it is in a certain city. It also includes latitude/longitude information, a built-in map, weather information, and alarms for each time zone you add.
This can come in handy when you have a deadline and need to contact a developer on the other side of the world as soon as it's morning for them. Set an alarm for 8am in their time zone and start terrorizing them with calls as soon as they wake up.
Available only for iPhone.
