World Clock Widget

Your world should read like a clock, not a spreadsheet. Meridian is a clock-first world-time instrument for the places that matter to you. Instead of scanning unrelated clocks, see every saved city around one live 24-hour solar face. Daylight, local dates, and relative offsets stay visible together, so the shape of your world makes sense at a glance. ONE FACE, EVERY CITY • Focus any saved city with one tap. • Read its local time, date, UTC offset, solar state, sunrise, and sunset. • See every other city relative to the one in focus. • Follow half-hour and quarter-hour time zones accurately. CONVERT EXACT MOMENTS With Meridian Plus, choose a date and time to see the matching local time and day in every saved city. Meridian follows the time-zone and daylight-saving rules carried by the operating system, including skipped and repeated local times. The last three moments you converted come back as one-tap rows. SOLAR ALERTS With Meridian Plus, have sunrise, sunset, golden hour, blue hour, and solar noon announced for any saved city, on time or up to 30 minutes before. YOUR CLOCKS EVERYWHERE • iPhone and iPad layouts built for each screen. • Small, medium, and large Home Screen widgets. • Lock Screen and StandBy views. • Apple Watch app and complications. • Private iCloud sync between your devices. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no Meridian account, advertising, analytics, or tracking. Manual city selection provides the complete core experience. When you choose Current Location, Meridian sends coordinates to Apple map services to resolve the place and time zone. It stores the coordinates with the saved clock, which may sync through your private iCloud account. The developer cannot access those coordinates or iCloud data. Solar calculations run on your device. FREE AND FAIR Free includes two clocks. Small, medium, and large Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen widgets, Apple Watch, complications, StandBy, iPad, iCloud sync, renaming any clock, and UTC reference clocks stay free. Meridian Plus raises the limit to eight clocks, unlocks Convert, and adds solar alerts. Buy it once with your Apple Account. It never expires, and there are no recurring charges. Meridian uses your device's operating system clock and time-zone information. It does not claim independent atomic-clock accuracy.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Timezone at none against World Clock Widget's 1. Timezone also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). World Clock Widget's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
