Tool
World Clock Grid
A live, configurable grid of up to 12 cities with weekday, time, and DST status for each.
What makes this different
Three things set this apart:
- DST badge on each cell, sourced from comparing the city's offset right now to its offset in the same calendar week six months ago.
- Anchor mode: optionally rebase every city on a single anchor so you read the grid as "the same instant everywhere".
- Plain-text export with weekday and date, formatted for chat.
How to use it
- Pick up to 12 cities from the multi-select.
- Optionally anchor the grid to one city so all the cells show "what time is it there when it is X o'clock here".
- Use the sort buttons to re-order by offset, alphabetically, or by region.
- The grid refreshes every second; the "copy all" button copies a plain-text summary you can paste into Slack.
Drop your standard set of cities into a single dashboard. The grid updates every second and shows weekday, time, date, and whether each city is currently observing Daylight Saving. Unlike a phone world clock, this one lets you sort by offset and pin favourite city combinations.
Frequently asked questions
How do you determine the DST badge?
We compare the city's UTC offset today against the offset on the same weekday six months ago. If they differ by 60 minutes, the city is currently observing DST.
Why is the anchor optional?
Without an anchor, each cell just shows the live wallclock. With an anchor, each cell shows "what time is it there when the anchor reads X" 鈥?useful for picking meeting times relative to your own day.
Can I save a city list?
Not yet 鈥?selection resets on reload. We deliberately do not use localStorage to avoid persisting anything between sessions.
