## What is Time Zone Buddy?

Time Zone Buddy is a beautiful world clock and meeting planner for people who work, travel, or collaborate across time zones. Now on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Whether you're scheduling a call with Tokyo, checking if London is still in the office, or planning a meeting across five time zones — it makes the world easy to read.

TRAVEL MODE — HOME & AWAY
Pin your Home city so its time, public holidays, and clock changes are always close — free, on every tier. When your device changes time zone, an automatic Away card appears beside Home, making the time back home a single glance. The Home & Away widget shows Home on your Home Screen, then switches to a Home | Here view while you travel, with daylight and the next sunrise or sunset where you've landed.

DAYLIGHT AT A GLANCE
Every card changes with the sun — warm amber at sunrise, vivid blue at midday, golden hour, and deep navy at night. Live, for every zone.

TIME SHIFT & PLANNING
A docked time-shift slider lives at the bottom of every tab. Pick a future date and time, choose which zone you're planning from, and instantly see what time it will be everywhere.

MEETING HUB
See who's in work hours now, who's coming online soon, overlap at a glance, and upcoming DST and holiday alerts. Tap "Plan a Meeting" for a full multi-zone overlap analysis.

INTELLIGENT ZONE CARDS
Each zone card shows local time, UTC offset, daylight status, work hours, DST alerts, and today's public holiday (Plus/Lifetime).

DETAIL THAT DELIGHTS
Tap any zone for a live map, daylight bar, hour-by-hour time comparison, DST and holiday alerts, and an exportable share card. "Best Time to Call" shows the clearest call time between you and that city, free.

SEARCH YOUR WAY
Search by city, country, or region. Type "Australia" for all Australian zones, or "NYC" / "EST" to jump straight there.

GROUPS & ORGANISATION (PLUS/LIFETIME)
Create named groups for your team, family, or travel contacts. Collapse and expand on the home screen. Share a group's times as an image in seconds.

MEETING OVERLAP (PLUS/LIFETIME)
Find the best time to meet across any set of time zones. Time Zone Buddy ranks every overlap window by how many people it covers. Share as a clean image or plain text.

WIDGETS & STANDBY
Put the world on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, or bedside.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-08-21

Travel Mode — keep home close, wherever you land:

• Set your Home city. It's always pinned to the top of your grid and always shows its public holidays and clock changes — free, on every tier.
• Away, automatically. When you travel and your device changes time zone, Time Zone Buddy pins an "Away" card for where you are now, right next to Home, so "what time is it back home?" is a single glance.
• A new Home & Away widget. Home time at a glance on your Home Screen — and when you're travelling it flips to a Home | Here view: home time on one side, and where you are now on the other, with each city's daylight and the next sunrise or sunset where you've landed.
• A warm welcome. Land in a new time zone and you'll get a friendly card showing how far ahead or behind home you are.

Plus smoother, steadier time-zone changes across the app and widgets.

Also in this build:

• A noticeably quicker start. Time Zone Buddy now opens straight to your cities instead of pausing while it catches up — and it no longer re-downloads sunrise and sunset data it already had, so it uses less data too.
• A truer daylight bar. Golden hour and dusk now come from real solar data for each city rather than a fixed estimate. The difference is biggest far north and south, where twilight lasts far longer than an hour.
• Clearer time shifting. The time-shift bar now labels its calendar action "Set time", and a −12h · offset · +12h guide appears as you drag so you can see exactly how far you've moved.

Thanks for using Time Zone Buddy!

### 1.3.0 — 2026-07-15

New widgets to keep the world a glance away:

• Multi-City Clock — a "wall of clocks" for your Home Screen. See several cities at once, each tile shaded by its own daylight — warm at sunrise, deep navy at night — with a live rail showing who's in work hours right now. Small shows two cities (free); Plus and Lifetime unlock up to six, plus public-holiday chips.
• A free Lock Screen clock — the circular Time Zone Buddy clock now works on every tier, so you can keep any city on your Lock Screen for free.
• A bedside StandBy clock — set your iPhone on its side to charge and Time Zone Buddy shows a big, glanceable clock that dims and goes easy on the eyes at night.
• A new Widgets & StandBy gallery inside the app (Settings → Widgets) so you can preview every widget and learn how to add it.

Thanks for using Time Zone Buddy!

### 1.2.2 — 2026-07-02

A few quiet reliability and measurement fixes under the hood.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-06-22

This update polishes the details:

• Public holidays now appear right at the top of a city's detail page on the day they happen, in that city's own time zone — so you'll never miss a "they're off today" before you schedule.
• The Meeting Hub widget now tells you when the next person comes online instead of just saying nobody's around.
• A few quiet reliability fixes under the hood.

Thanks for using Time Zone Buddy!

### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-19

v1.2.0 — Widgets

Time Zone Buddy now lives on your Home Screen and Lock Screen.

New
• Single Zone widget (free) — keep any city's live time on your Home Screen in small or medium size, with the same daylight-aware shading as the app: warm at sunrise, bright at midday, deep navy at night. The medium size adds a day timeline and an at-a-glance work-hours status with the next start or finish time.
• Lock Screen widgets (Plus/Lifetime) — a glanceable, configurable clock for any saved zone in the circular, inline, and rectangular accessory slots.
• Meeting Hub widget (Plus/Lifetime) — a zero-config dashboard across all your saved zones: who's in work hours right now with end-of-day countdowns, who's coming online soon, and how many are off duty. Small, medium, and large sizes.
• Public holidays show on widgets too (Plus/Lifetime) — a violet party-popper marker, matching the app.
• Tap any widget to jump straight to that zone, the Meeting tab, or the app.

Improved
• A new in-app guide (Settings → Features → Widgets, and a one-time card on Home) walks you through adding and configuring widgets.

Widgets read your data on-device through a private App Group — nothing leaves your device.
