Most world clocks make you pin a city and update it by hand. Share My Time follows the person. When someone you've paired with travels, their phone quietly tells yours which timezone they're in, and their time on your screen updates on its own. You never tap, you never guess. Put a widget on your home screen and their local time is always a glance away — warm when they're in daylight, dark when they're not. • Follow people, not places — their time moves with them • Fully automatic — nothing to keep updated on either side • A home-screen widget showing their label and current time • Pair with a short code you send however you like — no accounts, no contacts upload • Add as many people as you want • Stop sharing any time, from either side Built for the partner, parent, or friend who travels. Both of you install it, you trade a code once, and that's it. Privacy: names and labels stay on your phone — they never reach our servers. The only thing that travels between devices is a timezone, and only when it changes.
