Most world clocks show you a row of clocks and leave the mental work to you. Timedial answers the questions you're actually asking when you're looking at a world clock: • What time is it there right now? • Is it night or day? • How many hours apart are we? • When they say 3pm, what is that for me? • Is it too late to call? • Who's ahead and who's behind? View your cities on a 3D globe, a linear timeline, or a simple list. Scrub time forward and backward with a dial, and watch time move together across every city. Check time gaps by tapping on two cities. On Timedial, global time is something you see and feel, rather than calculate. A DIAL FOR TIME • Drag the dial to move every clock at once • Type a time into any city and watch the rest follow • Return to the current time in one tap THREE VIEWS • Globe: a weighted, physical earth with your cities pinned to it, day and night moving in real time • Timeline: cities laid out by hour on a living sky (dawn, daylight, dusk and stars) • List: big, glanceable cards under a sky that matches each moment COMPARE CITIES • Tap two cities to see the exact hour difference between them • Days and dates always shown in each city's own zone WIDGETS • One City: a single city under its own living sky. • Two Cities: side by side, or stacked as a compare with the hour difference between them • World-clock: a list showing up to six cities, plus a lock screen widget Choose the cities by editing any widget directly from your home screen IN YOUR LANGUAGE • English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Malay, and Brazilian Portuguese PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Works fully offline; no account, no ads, no tracking, no data collected. • Optional location access is used once to sort your nearest city first. Over 3,000 cities included.
