Find the perfect time to catchup across multiple time zones without the mind-bending math. Overlap is a smart world clock that helps you connect with people in different time zones. It makes it simple to see the time in multiple places at once, and its fun Overlap Graph is a unique visual way to quickly find convenient meeting times across the world. You can choose ‘available’ hours for each time zone. For example Dan in London might be available from 2pm to 5pm and Rashida in Sydney might be available from 7am to midday. Bring up the Overlap Graph and it will magically show you the most compatible times to schedule your catchup. Overlap also displays your calendar events, so you can always find a time that suits your schedule. Available on iPhone, iPad and Mac. • You can see multiple time zones in one beautiful UI • You can swipe left and right to quickly move through time. • You can customize 'availability' for each timezone - this could mean office hours for a meeting or simply when you're available for a group chat with your far-flung family -no more 'Sorry that's 3am for me!' • You can rename each time zone; for example, you might simply rename a time zone to say 'Grandma' or the name of a client you work with. Or perhaps your Grandma is your client, no judgement here. • You can hide time zones that you don’t need right now so it’s always easy to focus on what you need to know. • You can show your calendar events so you can always choose a time that fits your schedule. • Once you’ve chosen a great time its easy to share it via your favorite messaging app or create a calendar event. • Standby Mode is a Lock Screen feature that activates automatically when your iPhone is charging in landscape mode. The Overlap widget fully supports this mode!

About

Plan Flow Meter

Original Purpose: As a developer, I once felt that most planning apps on the App Store were hard to use. They didn’t truly visualize goals and progress, nor did they effectively motivate users. After conducting surveys and research into what people really need, I created this app. The core idea is to make every check-in for your plan feel direct and rewarding, while also giving you great encouragement. I hope you find it both handy and enjoyable to use. Some Quick Tips: First, TOP plan is the most important one. You can set your most urgent plan as a TOP plan. To help you focus better, you can only have one TOP plan at a time. The app also offers a variety of widgets that you can freely combine and place on your home screen for quick access. Some of these widgets even include buttons for direct actions, so you can operate them without opening the app. Everything is designed with your needs in mind, and I believe you’ll make great use of it. You are very welcome to join our Discord group to share any thoughts or feedback you have.
