Why use a Server-Synced World Clock?
Unlike standard ticking clocks that rely on your device's internal time, the When Are My Friends world clock synchronizes directly with atomic server time. This ensures that whether you are scheduling a meeting in London, checking the market open in New York, or calling family in Tokyo, you are seeing the exact, latency-corrected time.
What is UTC and how does it relate to GMT?
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is effectively the same as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) but is kept precise by atomic clocks. Our map uses UTC as the baseline to accurately calculate offsets for every timezone on earth.
How to find the best meeting time across time zones?
Use our interactive map or search bar to add clocks for all your participants' locations. Seeing the times side-by-side allows you to instantly spot the "golden window"—usually early morning in the Americas, afternoon in Europe, and late evening in Asia—where everyone is awake.
Is this tool free?
Yes, When Are My Friends is completely free and ad-free. We believe accurate timekeeping should be accessible to everyone.
