Time Zone Overlap

This is where you find a meeting window that works for everyone, not just the person sending the invite.

Use it to surface fair overlap, protect people from unsociable hours, plan remote handoffs, and keep cross-region work moving without guesswork.

Why this helps

Separate clocks or raw UTC offsets don’t tell you whether both sides are awake, in-office, or already heading to the school run.

This planner focuses on the overlap that’s actually usable — the hours both calendars accept, the daylight saving shifts that move targets, and the share link everyone can agree on.

Set your zones below and let the overlap grid surface the humane meeting windows.

What this helps you decide

No accounts. Runs locally. No nonsense.

Green means you're both in working hours. Yellow means only one of you is.

See the overlap that matters

The cards show live local time, while the grid turns that into actionable overlap so you can pick slots that keep everyone in working hours.

Search by city, adjust working hours, and share the link so the whole team judges the same plan before you send an invite or commit to a handoff.

Quick answers

What if I only know the city, not the timezone?

Use the city search box. It maps common cities to their IANA timezone so you don't need the exact string.

Does it account for daylight saving shifts?

Yes. Offsets are calculated live from the IANA timezone database, so the grid reflects current DST status.

Can I use custom working hours?

Pick the closest preset or set both to "00:00-24:00" to ignore hours entirely when you need full-day visibility.

How do share links work?

The Copy link button writes a URL with both timezones and hour presets. Anyone opening it loads the same view.

Can I compare two people in the same city?

Sure. Selecting identical zones simply shows full overlap, which is helpful for verifying schedules.

Where does the timezone list come from?

It's based on the canonical IANA database shipped with the site, so it matches what most calendars use.
