Meeting Planner
Find Better Times Across Time Zones
The meeting planner helps you choose a time that works across multiple cities. Instead of guessing whether a slot is acceptable, you can see a practical comfort score and a city-by-city summary based on browser timezone data.
This is useful for remote teams, client calls, family check-ins and any situation where one meeting needs to respect several local clocks at once.
What the comfort score means
The score is a simple planning aid. It marks times that fall into good working hours for the selected cities and points out when some places are getting too early or too late. The point is not perfection, but a fast way to avoid obviously awkward slots.
If you need more context, open the live world clocks and compare the same moment across several cities. That gives you a better sense of how one hour can behave very differently depending on the region.
Choosing a realistic meeting window
A practical meeting window usually starts with the most constrained participant. If one city is regularly early or late, that place should guide the schedule first. The score then helps you see whether the rest of the team still lands in a healthy range. This is especially useful for recurring standups, project check-ins and customer calls where nobody wants a different difficult time every week.
It also helps to keep the meeting short. The planner can find a reasonable start time, but the length of the meeting still matters. A shorter call at a slightly inconvenient hour is often much easier to accept than a long call that stretches too far into the evening.
Practical remote-work habits
A good remote meeting usually starts with a narrow set of cities. Choose the people who actually need to attend, then use the planner to compare the likely comfort level. That keeps the call short, clearer and less disruptive for everyone involved.
It also helps to keep the time visible in calendar form. The Monthly Calendar and School Vacations sections make that easier when a meeting sits near holidays or other important dates.
When the planner is most useful
The planner is strongest when you are choosing between a few candidate times and need a quick sanity check. It is less about precise optimization and more about avoiding obvious mismatch. That makes it a good companion to a calendar, not a replacement for one. You can use it before sending invites, before booking travel, or before setting a recurring weekly slot.
For planning across holidays, keep the public holiday explorer open too. A slot that looks ideal on paper can become awkward if one region is closed or if a movable holiday changes the normal working rhythm.

Use the World Clocks section on the homepage for the interactive version. If you want to understand the timezone calculation itself, use the live world clock view. If your meeting is tied to a deadline or a holiday period, the Public Holidays page can add the missing context.
When you want the bigger picture, the School Vacations section and Monthly Calendar show where the meeting sits relative to personal countdowns and national holidays.
Does the planner choose a meeting for me?
No. It gives you a better comparison so you can choose the slot yourself.
How many cities can I compare?
You can compare several cities at once, depending on what you want to include in the meeting.
Is the score exact?
No. It is a practical approximation meant to help with planning, not a formal scheduling algorithm.
Can I copy the results?
Yes. The homepage includes a copy button for the meeting time summary.
Should I still verify the meeting time?
Yes. The planner is meant to support scheduling, but final invites should still be checked carefully.
