How the meeting planner works
Pick a date and add two to five cities. Each city gets a column, and time runs down the page in half-hour steps. Every row is the same moment everywhere, so reading across a row shows what the clock says in each city at that instant. Select a row to see the full local date and time in every city.
The first city is the reference city: the date you choose is a day on its calendar, from its midnight to the next. You can make any other city the reference instead.
Finding the right city
Start typing a city name and choose from the list. Each result shows its province, state or region and its country, so you can tell Paris, France from Paris, Texas or Paris, Ontario. The list covers about 160,000 cities and towns worldwide with at least 1,000 people, and searching works with or without accents.
Daytime, night and overlap
Daytime means 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on each city’s own clock; the rest is shown as night. Rows marked with a check are daytime in every city, which usually makes them the easiest times to meet. Daytime is only a guide. It doesn’t show whether anyone is actually free.
Time zones and daylight saving time
Each city uses its official time zone, including daylight saving time on the dates it applies. On the day the clocks change, the reference city’s day has 23 or 25 hours, and repeated times are labelled with their time zone. Time-zone rules come from your browser, so keep it up to date.
Privacy
Everything happens in your browser. As you type, the planner downloads a small part of its city list from this site, so your searches, chosen cities and dates aren’t sent anywhere else. It doesn’t ask for your location. To save you picking them again, your chosen cities are remembered in your browser’s local storage on this device until you remove them or clear your browser’s site data.
