What Timezone Matcher does
Timezone Matcher is a free timezone scheduler for remote teams. Add the cities of everyone in the meeting and the grid lays each person's day out in their own local time, hour by hour. The rows where every participant is inside their working day are shaded, so the best slot is visible at a glance instead of being worked out on a napkin. Click a cell and you get a calendar invite with the correct local time for each attendee — no signup, no account, no data leaving your browser.
How to find a meeting time across time zones
- Search a city (or pick one of the quick chips above) for every participant. Cities sharing a zone — Paris and Berlin, Toronto and New York — can be merged into one row.
- Read the grid left to right. Green cells are working hours (9–17), amber are early morning or evening, dark cells are night. A column that is green all the way down is a slot nobody will resent.
- Click the column. The invite opens with the time already converted for each city; the Event Card page gives you a shareable image of the same slot.
- Toggle 12 h / 24 h and light / dark from the header; your city list is remembered on this device.

Why the data can be trusted
Every conversion comes from the IANA time-zone database — the reference used by Linux, macOS, Android and most servers — so daylight-saving changes are applied automatically, including the awkward weeks each spring and autumn when the US and Europe are out of step. Timezone Matcher is built and maintained by Furiosa Studio, an independent studio; read more on the About page or write to us via Contact.
Frequently asked questions
What is Timezone Matcher?
Timezone Matcher is a free online tool to compare world time zones side by side. You add cities from different time zones and the tool displays every hour of the day for each location in a color-coded grid, making it easy to spot working-hours overlap for scheduling remote meetings. No account or signup required.
How do I find the best meeting time for people in different time zones?
Add each participant's city using the search bar. The grid highlights working hours (9:00–17:00) in each row. Look for a column where all rows are in the green (working hours) zone — that is your ideal meeting window. Click any cell to open a calendar invite pre-filled with the correct local time for each participant.
What is the difference between UTC and GMT?
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the modern international time standard maintained by atomic clocks. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the historical predecessor based on the mean solar time at the Prime Meridian in London. In practice, UTC and GMT share the same offset (UTC+0) and are used interchangeably for everyday timekeeping. UTC never observes daylight saving time; some GMT-based zones do.
Does Timezone Matcher automatically handle Daylight Saving Time?
Yes. Timezone Matcher uses the IANA Time Zone Database via the browser's built-in Intl API, which applies all DST transitions automatically. When clocks change in the US in March or in Europe in October, the offsets in the tool update themselves without any manual changes needed.
Can I export a meeting to Google Calendar, Outlook or iCal?
Yes. Click any cell in the grid to open the meeting scheduler, set a title and duration, then click the Google Calendar, Outlook, or iCal button. Each export pre-fills the event with the correct start and end times and opens it directly in your calendar app.
How many cities and time zones does Timezone Matcher support?
Timezone Matcher includes hundreds of cities from every inhabited time zone. The search covers all major and most minor cities worldwide, including zones with 30-minute and 45-minute offsets such as India (UTC+5:30) and Nepal (UTC+5:45).
Is Timezone Matcher free?
Timezone Matcher is completely free, with no signup, no account, and no data leaving your browser. Your selected cities are saved locally on your device so they are restored on your next visit.
