What is the World Clock?

When your colleagues, clients or family are spread across time zones, 'what time is it there right now?' becomes a constant question. This world clock answers it at a glance: live times for the cities you care about, ticking second by second, with a sun or moon so you can tell instantly whether it's a reasonable hour to call.

It uses your device's own time-zone data and saves your city selection — nothing is uploaded.

What does this tool do?

You choose the cities that matter to you and see each one's current time updating live. A sun or moon icon shows day or night at a glance, so you know before you dial whether someone's likely awake. Your selection is remembered in your browser for next time.

Add or remove cities anytime from a simple set of chips.

Common mistakes to avoid

Forgetting daylight saving differences

Fix: The clock is accurate, but remember countries change clocks on different dates when planning ahead.

Only tracking others' cities

Fix: Add your own too so you can read the time difference directly.

Adding too many cities

Fix: Keep it to the places you coordinate with so the view stays useful.

Assuming the selection syncs

Fix: It's saved per-browser; set it up on the device you use.
