This is extremely useful. Thanks for sharing. Are there future features planned? It could be a big thing.
- kamranahmedse 3y ago
  What else would you like to see? I have some other time related tools that I will be launching but would love to hear what you have in mind.
  - TurbieneMaja 3y ago
    - 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)
  - max_likelihood 3y ago
    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.
  - dr_kiszonka 3y ago
    Link sharing would be useful. Here is a site similar to yours, albeit not as pretty. https://podfeet.com/webapps/time-shifter-clock/ https://podfeet.com/webapps/time-shifter-clock/

Thanks for sharing, it works very cool

Wow, what a nice tool :) bookmarked!
topaztee 3y ago
its very well designed, bookmarked
kseistrup 3y ago
Very useful! It would be nice to be able to share a set of timezones by sharing a URL with parameters.
- lifthrasiir 3y ago
  Yeah, time.is supported that for a long time and was extremely useful for me.
  - quambene 3y ago
    isn't supported anymore?
- kamranahmedse 3y ago
  It should be live today.
- agustinf 3y ago
  I was going to say the same thing. The lack of this feature prevented me from sharing it to my whole company
  - j-rom 3y ago
    Might I interest you in https://currenttimeutc.com/ https://currenttimeutc.com/. This creates shareable dashboards with different cities, timezones, and airports.
yarone 3y ago
Also might be useful to some: in Google Cal, you can show a secondary time zone on left hand side. Mine shows PT and CT for example.
- foreigner 3y ago
  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?
neduma 3y ago
Can we drag the boxes to re-order?
- kamranahmedse 3y ago
  Yes, you can.
  - LVB 3y ago
    I’m unable to drag the cards on iPhone.
    - kamranahmedse 3y ago
      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.
trosenbaum 3y ago
Looks great, unfortunately I am having challenges using it on iPhone Safari: trying to engage the sliders moves the cards around instead.

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.
kyawzazaw 3y ago
Very well designed Can I edit the name of the cities? As in I want to label as San Francisco instead of "Los Angeles"
kyawzazaw 3y ago
The reset button doesn't really explain to me as it will reset to current time.

recroad 3y ago
There’s a lot of dead space. Maybe condense it so more timezones fit on the screen.
- scop 3y ago
  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.
  - recroad 3y ago
    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).
j-rom 3y ago
Very cool! I like how you use a slider to update the times. Shameless plug for my own site that does something similar: https://currenttimeutc.com/ https://currenttimeutc.com/
pveierland 3y ago
Feature suggestions: - 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.
- bl4kers 3y ago
  Yes, I'd prefer a single column like the experience on mobile
ukuina 3y ago
Fantastic. Thank you. Any way to "pin" the current time so it acts as a live world clock?
arp242 3y ago
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 find it's pretty convenient anyway. https://github.com/arp242/dotfiles/blob/master/local/script/tz https://github.com/arp242/dotfiles/blob/master/local/script/...
- hn92726819 3y ago
  I use something similar, but I use -d "$*" instead of -d "$1" so I can do $ dates 4 hours ago One of two times "$*" had been useful
  - arp242 3y ago
    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 [1] https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/
- j-rom 3y ago
  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.

- Rebelgecko 3y ago
  You can type specific cities (like Phoenix) but I couldn't find any entries for the parts of AZ that observe DST (like Tuba City)
danparsonson 3y ago
That's really nice and coincidentally I needed such a tool just a few days ago. If I could make a small suggestion - always mark a few key times on the timeline so a user can quickly guesstimate, say, midday here is 9am there without the sliders.
LilBytes 3y ago
Great tool OP, thank you.

Please put an ad on this so that it'll always be free and accessible!

Very nice, very useful. The slider is extremely easy & fast input method which is great. I've encountered an issue with the fonts spacing of hours and minutes - the digits are overlapping: https://imgur.com/a/meoRaJL https://imgur.com/a/meoRaJL (Win11, Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
- kamranahmedse 3y ago
  I just deployed the fix for this. It should be fine now.
internet2000 3y ago
Add a few commonly compared timezones by default. I should be able to load this and get to work, without setup.
- kaishiro 3y ago
  Disagree. It appears to default to your local time zone for the first entry, which is a sane default. If there were other useless (to me) defaults as well I’d have to remove them as visual clutter (in addition to still needing to add the time zones I wish to compare).
- asutekku 3y ago
  common for you != common for everyone else. i live in japan, i would have absolutely no need for some random us / europe comparison
riantogo 3y ago
Maybe the cards could get background color based on time of the day (e.g. blue for mid-day, dark for night etc.)
osrec 3y ago
Might be useful to have the slider cover 3 days, rather than just 24h. With the single day, New York visually looks to be ahead of London at certain times of day (e.g from 00:00 to 05:00 UK time), because NY is still in its previous day.

This is really great! One feature I would love to see on this is link sharing. Just encoding data in the URL to share with others. Maybe adding a custom label to each timezone so international groups can easily keep track of team times!

Being in Phoenix as a remote worker for an East coast org, I love this. PHX does NOT do daylight savings which very few tools observe. TY I wish only that you would add a RESET to NOW button. Sliding to find when meetings could happen is awesome, but I keep wanting to reset to now. Very cool!! Firefox bookmarked.
- fedorareis 3y ago
  A red reset button appears in the top right of the cards after you slide the slider.

Nice UI, but I got used to googling "14:00 Germany time in Los Angeles", for example.

sagarpatil 3y ago
Congratulations on the launch. Looks great! A couple of questions if you don't mind me asking: 1. Why did you build this tool when we have thousands of time zone comparison websites, apps and inbuilt functionality in smartphone time app? 2. Google already does this natively 3. It will be really tough to rank this on Google 4. Do you plan on monetizing this?

Love this! Looks nice (I can't design it), works smoothly. Kudos on you for building something simple and just getting it out there. Universe knows, there are many bells and whistles you could have tacked on, possibly dooming this project to stay in the "project shelf" for a much longer time. What's your story on starting this? Needed the tool yourself and couldn't find anything that worked for you, was trying to learn new tools, lost a bet?
- devsda 3y ago
  > Universe knows, there are many bells and whistles you could have tacked on, possibly dooming this project to stay in the "project shelf" for a much longer time. If you click on the logo, it shows placeholders for many other time related tools the author has plans to implement like a meeting planner, scheduler, calendar and pomodoro timer etc. I'm happy that they took the MVP approach instead of waiting long to launch that perfect suite.

    "If you click on the logo, it shows placeholders for many other time related tools the author has plans to implement" It would be good to say that this are the future features. My fist impression was confusion.

Nice (accidental/incendiary) Easter Egg - Belgrade shows up as "Kosovo - Belgrade". I suppose since "Kosovo is Serbia" it's...not...wrong...? Technically it's probably since there are two aliases for `Europe/Belgrade` ["Kosovo",["Europe/Belgrade"]] ["Serbia",["Europe/Belgrade"]]

mongol 3y ago
It seems not to have knowledge about CEST - Central European Summer Time. I am always hesitant when using this term since many are unaware of it, but writing CET while refering to the current (summer) time is technically wrong. I wonder if the user interface somehow can illustrate this.

Very nice. I'll list a feature I've always wanted but haven't seen on timezone converters. A map of timezones, which will either highlight the location entered, or allow you to select the timezone. Saves a few keystrokes.
shoq 3y ago
Looks great and works smoothly! Is there some way to chose a date in the future? I use https://timezonewizard.com/ https://timezonewizard.com/ almost daily to find feasible meeting times over 3-4 timezones globally, sometimes some days in the future.

noufalibrahim 3y ago
This is very nicely done. I've been a user of world time buddy and i don't have complaints but this is much slicker
raman325 3y ago
This is really cool! Found a small bug - when you add a second card, the second card displays a pill with the total time difference between the first card and second card. When you switch the order of the cards by dragging, the pill remains on the same card so it's basically showing the total time difference in reverse. Clearing the cards and starting over with the switched order but by creating each card again results in the pill being displayed on the correct card.
- finger 3y ago
  That's not a bug, that's a feature. It shows the pills based on the highlighted card. Click a different card, and the "pills" change.

Simon_ORourke 3y ago
Awesome tool! Some minor feedback for what it's worth - after moving the slider bar to change the time, I went looking for a button along the top something like "Reset to Now", and it took me about two seconds to realize this reset button was in each time widget frame.
- yonatan8070 3y ago
  I started by trying to tap the local time clock at the top, after that I realized it's the little red reset button
- stavros 3y ago
  I kind of agree that the "reset to now" button should be in the global context, as resetting each timezone to now separately doesn't make as much sense.
Daub 3y ago
Looks very slick. Using this on an ipad. A few comment... Moving the time slider also moves the zone widget. It would be nice if night/day is indicated on the sluder, maybe using subtle colors. Reason: The main reason I would use such an app is to know if my clients are awake.
- stavros 3y ago
  Oooh, that's a nice idea.
pratik_kanthi 3y ago

prameshbajra 3y ago
This looks great. Thank you for building and sharing it. I have a small feedback here. I entered Kathmandu, Nepal and Hamburg, Germany. The time difference is -4:45 hours. The app shows me -4:75h. Which I think is a bug? Thank you
- jakopo87 3y ago
  Tried the same and it shows "-4.75h" with a dot, not a colon. As 4.75 hours translates to 4 hours and 45 minutes, it's correct, maybe not intuitive at first glance.
account-5 3y ago
The only thing I can see missing that I would use would be the ability to select a date in the future or past. Now this might be my ignorance of the subject area but it's definitely something I use other services for.
rogual 3y ago
Great work! I've looked for this kind of thing before but found only the usual sea of spam and semi-functional tools. Yours is really good, simple and clear. One suggestion I have is maybe show a bit more prominently if the dates end up being different? Could be easy to miss.
valevk 3y ago

I've been using World Time Buddy for years - https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ It allows for a calendar view and shows multiple cities together. It's excellent for figuring out a time slot for a team when everyone is living in a different timezone.
- uxcolumbo 3y ago
  I was thinking of this site as well, showing the different time lines and how they offset according to the time difference. Very neat. Just couldn't remember the domain name. The design is a bit dated as it's not optimized for higher res screens, everything is quite small. I guess people can zoom in. How do they make money though? I don't see ads or sign up page for extra features. Running this service since 2011, have to pay for hosting fees etc.
  - asnyder 3y ago
    There used to be paid options. They sent a notice a couple years ago saying it was going completely free, but with that support has subsided. For example their mobile app is no longer compatible with latest versions of Android.
- sails 3y ago
  This is very useful for scheduling, and has a lot of the features being requested.

- guillemsola 3y ago
  Great tool, love the calendar picker to check the DST overlap weeks. I use also timeanddate.com. It suggests acceptable time slots and can be saved in favs with selected cities, i.e. https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20240107T090000&p1=31&p2=861 https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20...
helsinkiandrew 3y ago
Welldone, this is very useful! From my use cases (order of wantedness): 1. It would be nice to be able to type in a time rather than using slider. 2. A flag to say whether day light savings is in affect. 2. As well as current time what about adding other times in the blocks - I always need to convert 9:30, 15:30, 23:00 into local. 3. On desktop, there doesn't seem to be a reason that 12 and 24 hour clocks could be shown at the same time?
twald 3y ago
Very useful. Thank you! I’d suggest to place the time above the slider. I’m left handed and I’m covering the time when I adjust the slider.
ashtronaut 3y ago
Thank you! I have replaced my previous bookmark of https://everytimezone.com/ https://everytimezone.com/ with this one. Appreciate the simplicity of this one. :)
- mwexler 3y ago
  Funny. I came to the opposite conclusion. I kept https://everytimezone.com/ https://everytimezone.com/ after trying parent and a few others in the thread. For eyeball time picks to drive min inconvenience for a group, every tz (after customizing for my tz of choice) was just easier. Glad to have variety in this annoying problem space; more tools hopefully mean less bad scheduling of things.
your_friend 3y ago
Very clever solution! Would be cool to add a color coding of the time, maybe same way as Apple does sun position in the weather app. So when you scroll time you can see where of all these places the sun is still up.
dzhiurgis 3y ago
Weird use case, but some places use 12hr, some use 24hr time. You could likely infer that by timezone name itself? I know if I get meeting at noon or midnight - I need to triple check everything…
Mikael_S 3y ago
Wow! That's one of my most loved now. Great job!

  You should be using https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html which is the exact same thing (arguably slightly better with just one slider and color-coded "good" and "bad" times when the timezones overlap) See e.g. https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20240105T004500&p1=213&p2=674 https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20...

Super nice. A feature request: for each time zone, show the offset to sun time. Helps with the question: will 8am be like I expect it to be ? Useful for outdoors activities.
jbs769 3y ago
Seems many people have ideas for adding features. But nobody is really talking about whether they are using it in their day to day (or would use it). My primary use case would be setting up a meeting across timezones, but my calendar app already shows me overlapping times. Or knowing what time it is for family or a friend, but then that becomes second nature if you’ve been in different timezones for a while. Or just seeing what time it is somewhere right now, but phones have multiple clocks, or a “what time is it in x?” search answers the question. If the many suggested features are added, would you use it? How will this help you?
- jayceedenton 3y ago
  If you work with people across multiple timezones, it's really useful to be able to open a screen with a set of clocks and glance at the time in every relevant timezone. If I just have https://time.fyi/timezones https://time.fyi/timezones bookmarked, it seems to remember the timezones that are important to me. Definitely convenient and far easier than doing multiple searches or using a phone's multiple clocks(?). This site is useful enough and it's a nice execution.

  interestingly, that one misnames Rio de Janeiro as "Vila Rio de Janeiro" which is hilarious, considering the Rio metro area has ~12M people, so a bit bigger than my idea of a village I'm not a fan of the design, tbh. I see no reason why these need to be cards, which actually forces the sliders to be next to each other (rather than below each other or combined into a single slider)
- codetrotter 3y ago
  Your link also has an extra feature that the OP does not. When I open https://www.timezones.digital/ https://www.timezones.digital/ it asks permission to get my current location and then displays the time for my location. And it even got the city name correct. This is great on mobile. Whereas https://time.fyi/timezones https://time.fyi/timezones does not currently request access to location and instead uses the location of my IP address. Which in my case is the location of my ISP and not of myself. Using the name of the city my ISP is in, which is halfway across the country from me.

I think the date selector is a must. My biggest timezone confusion happens during these two weeks when the US changes the daylight and the EU is not changed yet. So... during the two weeks in a year 9:00am SF time is not 18:00 EU time.

  > You can either […] SEO […] OR die out in the vast ocean of other sites. Not a problem if you aren't playing that game. I've got a few things out three that probably aren't listed anywhere (they won't be anywhere that respects the robots.txt equivalent of “go forth and fornicate”!). They are there for me, friends, family, or to refer people to when relevant. Heck I might even mention one on public forums occasionally either due to relevance or just for a little mild ego-stroke. But I don't care whether or not they are listed in the first page of Google/Bing/Kagi/… so the general public can easily find them. Admittedly the general public likely aren't even looking for them, I'm sure they are well served elsewhere, but that is beside the point. Being massively popular doesn't necessarily imply fame & fortune. It might instead be fame and needing-to-find-a-way-to-pay-for-resources-to-keep-stuff-running-under-high-traffic (and dealing-with-stupid-emails-from-people-who-don't-know-which-elbow-they-are-sat-on!).

kamranahmedse 3y ago
What else would you like to see? I have some other time related tools that I will be launching but would love to hear what you have in mind.
- TurbieneMaja 3y ago
  - 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)
- max_likelihood 3y ago
  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.
- dr_kiszonka 3y ago

There’s a lot of dead space. Maybe condense it so more timezones fit on the screen.

scop 3y ago
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.
- recroad 3y ago
  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).

  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.

Disagree. It appears to default to your local time zone for the first entry, which is a sane default. If there were other useless (to me) defaults as well I’d have to remove them as visual clutter (in addition to still needing to add the time zones I wish to compare).

Might be useful to have the slider cover 3 days, rather than just 24h. With the single day, New York visually looks to be ahead of London at certain times of day (e.g from 00:00 to 05:00 UK time), because NY is still in its previous day.

Being in Phoenix as a remote worker for an East coast org, I love this. PHX does NOT do daylight savings which very few tools observe. TY I wish only that you would add a RESET to NOW button. Sliding to find when meetings could happen is awesome, but I keep wanting to reset to now. Very cool!! Firefox bookmarked.

A red reset button appears in the top right of the cards after you slide the slider.

Assuming you live in Germany you could type “14:00 in LA”

Congratulations on the launch. Looks great! A couple of questions if you don't mind me asking: 1. Why did you build this tool when we have thousands of time zone comparison websites, apps and inbuilt functionality in smartphone time app? 2. Google already does this natively 3. It will be really tough to rank this on Google 4. Do you plan on monetizing this?

Love this! Looks nice (I can't design it), works smoothly. Kudos on you for building something simple and just getting it out there. Universe knows, there are many bells and whistles you could have tacked on, possibly dooming this project to stay in the "project shelf" for a much longer time. What's your story on starting this? Needed the tool yourself and couldn't find anything that worked for you, was trying to learn new tools, lost a bet?

> Universe knows, there are many bells and whistles you could have tacked on, possibly dooming this project to stay in the "project shelf" for a much longer time. If you click on the logo, it shows placeholders for many other time related tools the author has plans to implement like a meeting planner, scheduler, calendar and pomodoro timer etc. I'm happy that they took the MVP approach instead of waiting long to launch that perfect suite.

  "If you click on the logo, it shows placeholders for many other time related tools the author has plans to implement" It would be good to say that this are the future features. My fist impression was confusion.

Nice (accidental/incendiary) Easter Egg - Belgrade shows up as "Kosovo - Belgrade". I suppose since "Kosovo is Serbia" it's...not...wrong...? Technically it's probably since there are two aliases for `Europe/Belgrade` ["Kosovo",["Europe/Belgrade"]] ["Serbia",["Europe/Belgrade"]]

It seems not to have knowledge about CEST - Central European Summer Time. I am always hesitant when using this term since many are unaware of it, but writing CET while refering to the current (summer) time is technically wrong. I wonder if the user interface somehow can illustrate this.

shoq 3y ago

Looks great and works smoothly! Is there some way to chose a date in the future? I use https://timezonewizard.com/ https://timezonewizard.com/ almost daily to find feasible meeting times over 3-4 timezones globally, sometimes some days in the future.

noufalibrahim 3y ago

This is very nicely done. I've been a user of world time buddy and i don't have complaints but this is much slicker

raman325 3y ago

This is really cool! Found a small bug - when you add a second card, the second card displays a pill with the total time difference between the first card and second card. When you switch the order of the cards by dragging, the pill remains on the same card so it's basically showing the total time difference in reverse. Clearing the cards and starting over with the switched order but by creating each card again results in the pill being displayed on the correct card.

finger 3y ago
That's not a bug, that's a feature. It shows the pills based on the highlighted card. Click a different card, and the "pills" change.

Simon_ORourke 3y ago

Awesome tool! Some minor feedback for what it's worth - after moving the slider bar to change the time, I went looking for a button along the top something like "Reset to Now", and it took me about two seconds to realize this reset button was in each time widget frame.

yonatan8070 3y ago
I started by trying to tap the local time clock at the top, after that I realized it's the little red reset button
stavros 3y ago
I kind of agree that the "reset to now" button should be in the global context, as resetting each timezone to now separately doesn't make as much sense.

Daub 3y ago

Looks very slick. Using this on an ipad. A few comment... Moving the time slider also moves the zone widget. It would be nice if night/day is indicated on the sluder, maybe using subtle colors. Reason: The main reason I would use such an app is to know if my clients are awake.

stavros 3y ago
Oooh, that's a nice idea.

pratik_kanthi 3y ago

This is a brilliant tool. Thanks for building.

prameshbajra 3y ago

This looks great. Thank you for building and sharing it. I have a small feedback here. I entered Kathmandu, Nepal and Hamburg, Germany. The time difference is -4:45 hours. The app shows me -4:75h. Which I think is a bug? Thank you

jakopo87 3y ago
Tried the same and it shows "-4.75h" with a dot, not a colon. As 4.75 hours translates to 4 hours and 45 minutes, it's correct, maybe not intuitive at first glance.

account-5 3y ago

The only thing I can see missing that I would use would be the ability to select a date in the future or past. Now this might be my ignorance of the subject area but it's definitely something I use other services for.

rogual 3y ago

Great work! I've looked for this kind of thing before but found only the usual sea of spam and semi-functional tools. Yours is really good, simple and clear. One suggestion I have is maybe show a bit more prominently if the dates end up being different? Could be easy to miss.

valevk 3y ago

I've been using World Time Buddy for years - https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ It allows for a calendar view and shows multiple cities together. It's excellent for figuring out a time slot for a team when everyone is living in a different timezone.

uxcolumbo 3y ago
I was thinking of this site as well, showing the different time lines and how they offset according to the time difference. Very neat. Just couldn't remember the domain name. The design is a bit dated as it's not optimized for higher res screens, everything is quite small. I guess people can zoom in. How do they make money though? I don't see ads or sign up page for extra features. Running this service since 2011, have to pay for hosting fees etc.
- asnyder 3y ago
  There used to be paid options. They sent a notice a couple years ago saying it was going completely free, but with that support has subsided. For example their mobile app is no longer compatible with latest versions of Android.

Great tool, love the calendar picker to check the DST overlap weeks. I use also timeanddate.com. It suggests acceptable time slots and can be saved in favs with selected cities, i.e. https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20240107T090000&p1=31&p2=861 https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20...

helsinkiandrew 3y ago

Welldone, this is very useful! From my use cases (order of wantedness): 1. It would be nice to be able to type in a time rather than using slider. 2. A flag to say whether day light savings is in affect. 2. As well as current time what about adding other times in the blocks - I always need to convert 9:30, 15:30, 23:00 into local. 3. On desktop, there doesn't seem to be a reason that 12 and 24 hour clocks could be shown at the same time?

twald 3y ago

Very useful. Thank you! I’d suggest to place the time above the slider. I’m left handed and I’m covering the time when I adjust the slider.

ashtronaut 3y ago

Thank you! I have replaced my previous bookmark of https://everytimezone.com/ https://everytimezone.com/ with this one. Appreciate the simplicity of this one. :)

mwexler 3y ago
Funny. I came to the opposite conclusion. I kept https://everytimezone.com/ https://everytimezone.com/ after trying parent and a few others in the thread. For eyeball time picks to drive min inconvenience for a group, every tz (after customizing for my tz of choice) was just easier. Glad to have variety in this annoying problem space; more tools hopefully mean less bad scheduling of things.

your_friend 3y ago

Very clever solution! Would be cool to add a color coding of the time, maybe same way as Apple does sun position in the weather app. So when you scroll time you can see where of all these places the sun is still up.

dzhiurgis 3y ago

Weird use case, but some places use 12hr, some use 24hr time. You could likely infer that by timezone name itself? I know if I get meeting at noon or midnight - I need to triple check everything…

Mikael_S 3y ago

Wow! That's one of my most loved now. Great job!

You should be using https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html which is the exact same thing (arguably slightly better with just one slider and color-coded "good" and "bad" times when the timezones overlap) See e.g. https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20240105T004500&p1=213&p2=674 https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20...

Super nice. A feature request: for each time zone, show the offset to sun time. Helps with the question: will 8am be like I expect it to be ? Useful for outdoors activities.

jbs769 3y ago

Seems many people have ideas for adding features. But nobody is really talking about whether they are using it in their day to day (or would use it). My primary use case would be setting up a meeting across timezones, but my calendar app already shows me overlapping times. Or knowing what time it is for family or a friend, but then that becomes second nature if you’ve been in different timezones for a while. Or just seeing what time it is somewhere right now, but phones have multiple clocks, or a “what time is it in x?” search answers the question. If the many suggested features are added, would you use it? How will this help you?

jayceedenton 3y ago
If you work with people across multiple timezones, it's really useful to be able to open a screen with a set of clocks and glance at the time in every relevant timezone. If I just have https://time.fyi/timezones https://time.fyi/timezones bookmarked, it seems to remember the timezones that are important to me. Definitely convenient and far easier than doing multiple searches or using a phone's multiple clocks(?). This site is useful enough and it's a nice execution.

sfox100 3y ago

Love this, and will use this daily

hmcamp 3y ago

I like this and it’s immediately usable. May I ask you to make it so that I can reorder the boxes. Also could I have an option to have shorter boxes so that I can view 4 time zones without the need to scroll on a mobile screen?

Would love to see pr. timezone AM/PM and Military time toggle. I personally not figured out how to mentally convert from one to another and usually this is one of my challenges as well. I support the link sharing as well. Perfect for events, meetings and the like. So good, very easy to use and not to much other stuff going on. Great job and super domainname.

Kwpolska 3y ago
There is a 12/24 hour toggle. (It defaults to the wrong one, BTW.)
- jalict 3y ago
  I meant pr. timezone toggle! The current one is global if I am not mistaken? So I could have my own local time in military time and the one(s) I am converting to, in AM/PM.
- frail_figure 3y ago
  I was just thinking that. Why would the 12hr one be the default? The tool looks slick in general, however!

dmd 3y ago

I'd love to see this with sun position. Maybe even change the brightness of the square too. Then you could visually see when all your meeting participants are in daylight.

airstrike 3y ago
interestingly, that one misnames Rio de Janeiro as "Vila Rio de Janeiro" which is hilarious, considering the Rio metro area has ~12M people, so a bit bigger than my idea of a village I'm not a fan of the design, tbh. I see no reason why these need to be cards, which actually forces the sliders to be next to each other (rather than below each other or combined into a single slider)
codetrotter 3y ago
Your link also has an extra feature that the OP does not. When I open https://www.timezones.digital/ https://www.timezones.digital/ it asks permission to get my current location and then displays the time for my location. And it even got the city name correct. This is great on mobile. Whereas https://time.fyi/timezones https://time.fyi/timezones does not currently request access to location and instead uses the location of my IP address. Which in my case is the location of my ISP and not of myself. Using the name of the city my ISP is in, which is halfway across the country from me.
- abecedarius 3y ago
  Getting a location permissions popup the instant you first load a page is an annoyance, imo. Friendlier to leave that as an option you can choose if it looks worth it.

I think the date selector is a must. My biggest timezone confusion happens during these two weeks when the US changes the daylight and the EU is not changed yet. So... during the two weeks in a year 9:00am SF time is not 18:00 EU time.

Yes, same for me! Being able to see not just gmt-5 but also standard vs daylight would be excellent!

dspillett 3y ago
> You can either […] SEO […] OR die out in the vast ocean of other sites. Not a problem if you aren't playing that game. I've got a few things out three that probably aren't listed anywhere (they won't be anywhere that respects the robots.txt equivalent of “go forth and fornicate”!). They are there for me, friends, family, or to refer people to when relevant. Heck I might even mention one on public forums occasionally either due to relevance or just for a little mild ego-stroke. But I don't care whether or not they are listed in the first page of Google/Bing/Kagi/… so the general public can easily find them. Admittedly the general public likely aren't even looking for them, I'm sure they are well served elsewhere, but that is beside the point. Being massively popular doesn't necessarily imply fame & fortune. It might instead be fame and needing-to-find-a-way-to-pay-for-resources-to-keep-stuff-running-under-high-traffic (and dealing-with-stupid-emails-from-people-who-don't-know-which-elbow-they-are-sat-on!).

You're brave, dealing with time is often a discouraging and frustrating experience as a developer. I did bookmark it and I'm curious to see the other features (coming soon), because sharing time-based events on some social platforms isnannoying, and having a way to link to a specific time and date and having each user see the time relative to their timezone in a simple interface would be nice.
