Time Buddy makes it effortless to stay in sync with people across the world. Add any city or time zone and watch live analog clock faces tick in real time, each showing the local hour at a glance. A clear day/night indicator tells you instantly whether your contact is in business hours, asleep, or somewhere in between. The time slider is the heart of Time Buddy. Drag it to any moment and every clock in your list updates simultaneously, so you can scan all your zones at once and find a window that works for everyone. No mental arithmetic. No tab-switching.
