Drag time across cities instead of doing timezone math. World Time Scrubber helps you compare local times, plan calls, and check arrival times in one private iPhone utility. Keep the cities you care about on your Home Screen, scrub the hour to see every city update together, and use Flight Mode to understand arrival time before you land. Add extra cities from search, choose light, dark, or system appearance, and keep using saved cities without accounts, tracking, or a network connection.
