Meeting planners & scheduling
Drag-and-drop schedule slider
Slide through the day and watch every city keep pace. Propose a time in your zone and see instantly what o'clock it is for everyone else — and whether they're awake.
How to use the drag-and-drop schedule slider
Add the cities involved
Each one gets a live row showing its local time for whatever moment you are currently pointing at.
Drag to a candidate time
Scrub the slider and every city updates together. You are moving a single instant in time and watching how it reads in each zone.
Watch the date boundaries
Rows flip to the previous or next day as you cross midnight in their zone. This is the failure mode people miss most often — a Tuesday afternoon call in London is already Wednesday morning in Auckland.
Lock in the time
When the row set looks acceptable everywhere, read off each local time and use those exact values in the invite.
Scrubbing through time instead of calculating it
Converting a time is a question with one answer. Choosing a time is a search, and searching by repeated conversion is slow — you convert, judge, adjust, convert again. Direct manipulation collapses that loop: drag, and every consequence is visible at once.
The date-line problem is the strongest argument for working this way. Offsets past about twelve hours routinely change the calendar day, and "Thursday 9am" in one hemisphere is genuinely a different day in the other. A row that flips to "Fri" as you drag past a boundary makes that impossible to miss, whereas a mental calculation almost always drops it.
It also makes the cost of an hour visible. Slide half an hour later and watch one city fall out of its working day: that is the trade-off, made concrete, in a form that is easy to talk about with the people affected.
Everything is computed against the live zone database, so the offsets you see include daylight saving as it stands on that date — including the awkward weeks when two of your cities have changed and a third has not.
When you'd reach for it
Negotiating a time live
Share your screen and scrub until everyone on the call agrees, rather than trading messages.
Checking a date rollover
Confirm which calendar day a proposed slot lands on for participants far to your east or west.
Planning a launch moment
See what a single global release instant reads as in every market you ship to.
Coordinating a handover
Find the instant where an outgoing shift is still on and the incoming one has started.
Booking travel connections
Reason about departures and arrivals in their own local times without arithmetic.
Explaining an offset
Show a colleague why the meeting is at that hour by moving it and letting them watch.
Questions & answers
- What does the +1d marker mean?
- It shows the local date is a day ahead of (or behind) your own — common when scheduling across the international date line, so a Monday-evening call for you is Tuesday morning in Asia.
- Does it start at the current time?
- Yes. It follows the live clock until you grab the slider, then holds whatever time you scrub to.
- What do the coloured dots mean?
- Green is working hours, amber is early or late but reachable, and grey means that city is likely asleep at the proposed time.
