Best time

30 min meeting
How is this picked?

We check every 30-minute slot in the next 24 hours. First we avoid the middle of the night — minimising it for the worst-hit city, then for everyone — so we'd rather a few people be early or late than anyone asleep. Then we prefer slots where the whole meeting lands in everyone's working hours. When lots of times work equally well, we show the whole range so you can pick what suits.

Find a meeting time that works across time zones

The DailyDesk World Time Planner lines up a full day across every city you choose, so overlapping working hours are obvious at a glance — no counting hours on your fingers, and no accidental 3 a.m. invites. Add any city or IANA time zone, set each person's working hours, and the planner finds the meeting times that suit everyone, for today or any future date. Whether you're scheduling a call between two time zones or finding overlapping working hours for a whole remote team, the best slots are highlighted for you.

How it works & FAQ

How it works

  • Compare a full day across cities — each row is one city's local time, midnight to midnight, with soft colour bands for night, working hours and evening.
  • Set working hours for everyone at once, or click a single city to override just its hours.
  • Get the best meeting slots — it scores every 30-minute slot by how many cities have the whole meeting inside working hours, then lets you copy the time or add it to your calendar.

Find overlapping working hours for a remote team

Stack everyone's day on one screen and the green working-hours bands show exactly where they overlap. It's the quickest way to find a time that's inside business hours for the whole team — or, when no perfect slot exists, to pick the kindest shoulder-hour compromise instead of someone's 3 a.m.

Plan a call between two time zones — worked examples

  • London ↔ New York — a 9 a.m. London call is 4 a.m. in New York; mid-afternoon London (2–5 p.m.) is the comfortable overlap.
  • San Francisco ↔ London — 8–9 a.m. Pacific lands in the late London afternoon.
  • New York ↔ India — early-morning US Eastern meets evening in India; the planner highlights the narrow window automatically.

Common questions

How do I find a good meeting time across different time zones?

Add each participant's city, set your working hours, and the planner ranks the next 24 hours by how well a meeting of your chosen length fits everyone's day — so you can pick a slot that isn't the middle of the night for anyone.

Is the World Time Planner free?

Yes — it's completely free, with no account, no sign-up, and no limits.

Which cities and time zones can I use?

Every IANA time zone is reachable (around 475), plus about 180 curated cities you can search by name, country, zone, or abbreviation such as JST, PST or IST. Half-hour and 45-minute offsets — India, Nepal, parts of Australia — are handled correctly.

Does it handle daylight saving time?

Yes. All conversions use your browser's built-in time-zone data, so daylight-saving shifts are accurate, including when you plan for a future date.

What time is a 9 a.m. London meeting in New York?

Add both cities and click 9 a.m. on the London bar — the planner converts it to every other city instantly (9 a.m. London is 4 a.m. in New York for most of the year). Click any hour to convert it across all your cities at once.

How do I find overlapping working hours for a remote team?

Add everyone's city, set their working hours, and the green bands show the shared window at a glance. The best-time finder then ranks the slots where the most people are inside their working day.
