Time Zone Buddy is a beautiful world clock and meeting planner for people who work, travel, or collaborate across time zones. Whether you're scheduling a call with Tokyo, checking if London is still in the office, or planning a meeting across five time zones — it makes the world easy to read. TRAVEL MODE — HOME & AWAY Pin your Home city so its time, public holidays, and clock changes are always close — free, on every tier. When your device changes time zone, an automatic Away card appears beside Home, so the time back home is one glance. The Home & Away widget shows Home on your Home Screen, then switches to a Home | Here view while you travel, with daylight and the next sunrise or sunset where you've landed. DAYLIGHT AT A GLANCE Open a city and its sky fills the screen — deep night, golden hour, or mid-afternoon, from that city's own sunrise and sunset. Every card changes with the sun, live. TIME SHIFT & PLANNING A docked time-shift slider lives at the bottom of every tab. Pick a future date and time, choose which zone you're planning from, and instantly see what time it will be everywhere. MEETING HUB See who's in work hours now, who's coming online soon, overlap at a glance, and upcoming DST and holiday alerts. Tap "Plan a Meeting" for a full multi-zone overlap analysis. INTELLIGENT ZONE CARDS Each zone card shows local time, UTC offset, daylight status, work hours, DST alerts, and today's public holiday (Plus/Lifetime). DETAIL THAT DELIGHTS Tap any zone for the sky over that city right now, a daylight bar, hour-by-hour time comparison, DST and holiday alerts, and an exportable share card. "Best Time to Call" shows the clearest call time between you and that city, free. SEARCH YOUR WAY Search by city, country, or region. Type "Australia" for all Australian zones, or "NYC" / "EST" to jump straight there. GROUPS & ORGANISATION (PLUS/LIFETIME) Create named groups for your team, family, or travel contacts. Collapse and expand on the home screen. Share a group's times as an image. MEETING OVERLAP (PLUS/LIFETIME) Find the best time to meet across any set of time zones. Options are ranked so the cost is shared rather than landing on one person, and split into Best, other options, and your picks. Share as an image or plain text. WIDGETS & STANDBY Put the world on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, or bedside. • Home & Away (free) — Home at a glance; switches to Home | Here when you travel • Multi-City Clock — a "wall of clocks"; 2 cities free, up to 6 with Plus/Lifetime • Single Zone (free) — any city's live time, daylight-shaded • Lock Screen clocks — circular free; inline & rectangular Plus/Lifetime • Meeting Hub (Plus/Lifetime) — who's working now across your zones • StandBy (free) — a dimmable bedside clock while charging DST ALERTS & NOTIFICATIONS (PLUS/LIFETIME) Get notifications 7 days before a clock change, the business day before, the day itself, and the day after.
