A time zone meeting planner built for global teams

ZoneMeets turns the invisible problem of international scheduling into something you can see. Pin every participant's city above and each card shows the exact local time for the same moment — with the current daylight-saving offset, the date, and a color-coded label for morning, business hours, evening, or night. Instead of converting times in your head or asking each colleague "wait, what time is that for you?", you read one screen where every city is already converted for you, always against the authoritative IANA time zone database that operating systems and calendar apps use.

How to find a meeting time that works for every city

1. Pin your cities. Add each participant's time zone with "Add time zone" — your own zone is included automatically, and your selection is remembered for your next visit.
2. Slide to explore the day. Drag the time slider to scrub through the next 24 hours. Every card moves together, so you can see at a glance which windows fall inside working hours for everyone — the green "business hours" band is the signal to look for.
3. Check the date as well as the clock. When your cities span the Pacific, the same meeting can fall on two different calendar dates — each card shows the weekday and date so a Tokyo–New York slot is never booked on the wrong day.
4. Save it or schedule it. Add the slot to Google Calendar with one click on any card, save the whole setup as a reusable meeting template for your recurring global sync, or share the comparison as text, WhatsApp, or email so every attendee sees their local time.

Why scheduling across time zones goes wrong

Almost every missed international call comes from one of three causes, and the planner above is built to catch all three:

• Offsets are not fixed. A recurring 9 AM New York / 9 PM Singapore call silently becomes a 10 PM call in Singapore after the US springs forward, because New York changed its clocks and Singapore didn't. ZoneMeets always shows DST-adjusted times and warns you when a transition is approaching for any pinned city — see our guide to daylight saving time.
• Abbreviations are ambiguous. EST can mean New York or Sydney — fifteen hours apart. The planner works with named IANA time zones, which is also why the calendar events it creates stay correct through every DST change. More in why time zone abbreviations cause scheduling errors.
• Not every offset is a whole hour. India is UTC+5:30 and Nepal is UTC+5:45, so rounding to the nearest hour can put you half an hour off — enough to miss the call. The cards here always use the exact offset.

Plan around holidays, not just hours

A slot that works every week still fails when a teammate's country has a national public holiday. ZoneMeets shows the upcoming public holidays for the countries behind your pinned cities, so office closures never surprise your recurring meeting again.
