How the planner works

The first city sets the day. The planner takes midnight to midnight in that city, one hour per row, and converts each hour into every other city with the time zone rules your browser ships with. A row turns green when the whole hour sits inside the working hours you set for everyone. Amber rows work for at least one person; grey times are the middle of the night somewhere.

Zones with a half-hour offset, like India (UTC+5:30), only count when the full hour fits: 9:00 to 10:00 in London (British Summer Time) is 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. in Mumbai, so it passes, while a slot ending at 5:30 p.m. in Mumbai doesn't.

When there's no overlap

Teams spread across the Americas and Asia often have zero shared working hours. Three habits help: rotate who takes the early or late call, keep the live part short and send the rest as a screen recording, or let people choose from a booking page that shows your hours in their own time zone.

Watch the weeks around daylight saving changes. The US moves its clocks on the second Sunday of March and the first Sunday of November, Europe on the last Sundays of March and October, and most of Mexico doesn't change at all. For a few weeks each spring and fall the gap between two cities is one hour different from the rest of the year, so check the planner on the actual date of the meeting.

IN SHORT

To find a meeting time across time zones, list each person's city, convert one day hour by hour into every local time and keep the hours that fall inside everyone's working day. With a 9-to-5 day, New York and Madrid usually share 2 hours (9 to 11 a.m. in New York). Mexico City and Madrid share one hour in winter and none in summer, so someone takes an early or late call.

Questions

How do I find the best meeting time across time zones?
Pick the day, add every participant's city and set the working hours you want to respect. The planner marks in green the hours when everyone is between those times. If nothing is green, widen the hours by one on each side or rotate who takes the early slot.
Does it handle daylight saving time?
Yes. Offsets come from your browser's time zone database (IANA zones like America/New_York), so they change on the right date for each place. The US, Europe and Mexico's border cities switch on different weekends, which is why the overlap can move by an hour in March, October and November.
Does Mexico still change the clocks?
Most of Mexico stopped using daylight saving time in October 2022. Mexico City, Monterrey and Guadalajara stay at UTC-6 all year, Cancún at UTC-5 and Hermosillo at UTC-7. Tijuana and some other border cities still change their clocks on the same dates as the US.
What does +1 next to a time mean?
That time falls on the next calendar day in that city. A 4 p.m. call in Los Angeles is 8 or 9 a.m. the next morning in Tokyo, depending on the time of year.
How do I send the time to the other people?
Click a row and copy the text. It lists the date, start and end time and UTC offset for each city, ready to paste in an email or chat.
