Time Buddy makes it effortless to stay in sync with people across the world. Add any city or time zone and watch live analog clock faces tick in real time, each showing the local hour at a glance. A clear day/night indicator tells you instantly whether your contact is in business hours, asleep, or somewhere in between. The time slider is the heart of Time Buddy. Drag it to any moment and every clock in your list updates simultaneously, so you can scan all your zones at once and find a window that works for everyone. No mental arithmetic. No tab-switching. The meeting planner highlights the working-hours overlap across your chosen zones in a compact heat map. Green slots mean everyone is available during standard hours. Orange slots flag early mornings or late evenings. Red slots are outside normal hours for at least one participant. Pick a green slot, tap Share, and send a clean meeting summary showing the local time in each person's city. Other features include national flags for quick visual identification, instant toggle between 12-hour and 24-hour formats, and a search that covers thousands of cities and IANA time zones.
