Zone is a minimal, beautiful world clock app designed for people who work, plan, or stay connected across time zones. Add any city or timezone, give it a custom name and emoji, then see all your clocks at a glance — always up to date, always on your Home Screen. EVERY TIME ZONE AT A GLANCE Search for any city, country, or region. Zone automatically detects the timezone and adds a flag emoji. Rename clocks to anything — "Mom", "London Office", "Tokyo HQ" — and pick a custom emoji to make each one yours. TIME TRAVEL Slide through time to plan ahead. Preview what all your clocks will show up to 12 hours in the past or future. Perfect for scheduling calls across continents without mental math. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Keep your most important clocks visible without opening the app. Small and medium widgets let you choose exactly which clocks to display, and they update automatically with your settings. MAKE IT YOURS • 12-hour or 24-hour format • Show or hide emoji icons • Day offset badges (+1/−1) for clocks on a different day • Light, Dark, or System appearance • Sort clocks by earliest or latest timezone first, or drag to reorder manually PRIVATE BY DESIGN Zone works entirely offline. No accounts, no cloud sync, no tracking, no ads. Your data stays on your device — period. Whether you're a remote worker, frequent traveler, or just keeping up with family abroad — Zone gives you the world's time in the simplest way possible.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MySolArk at Free against Zone's $4.99. MySolArk also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Zone's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
