Most time-zone tools show every city in the world. I want two.
Most time-zone tools are wall-of-text spreadsheets — every city, every offset, sortable, filterable, printable. I just want to know if 3pm here is a sane time to call a friend over there.
So I built whatzone.me: two analog clocks, side by side. Yours on the left, anywhere on the right. That’s the whole interface.
Pick the other zone with a search box. Drag a slider to peek at any hour today or tomorrow. Click an hour position on either clock face and the page jumps there. The face colour shifts through the day — warm beige during work hours, deep blue at night — so you can see at a glance whether your friend is at the office or already in bed.
There’s a thin green halo around the clock during weekday work hours (Mon–Fri, 8–17 in that zone). Quick “is anyone there right now?” check.
Three places I actually use it
Booking a call across continents. Does 3pm here mean 9am for them, or midnight?
Catching a livestream. What time does the New York stream actually start in my time?
Calling family abroad. Is it too early, or already evening over there?
