About

WorldTime

Features
Read full description

A timezone scrubber app that lets you visualise time across cities with an interactive dial. Most timezone apps use static displays or linear sliders. But time is cyclical โ€” so WorldTime uses a dial interaction that mirrors how we actually think about time. Rotating the dial scrubs through hours, and concepts like "yesterday" and "tomorrow" become intuitive as you cross midnight.
