How does the time-zone meeting grid find the best meeting time?
It builds a 24-column grid where each column is one hour of your anchor city's day, and each row is a city you picked. For every cell it computes the local time at that city using the IANA time zone database (which handles daylight saving correctly). It then counts how many cities are inside their working hours at each anchor hour and highlights the hour with the most overlap as the recommended meeting time.
Why is the first city the "anchor"?
The grid needs a fixed reference: a column labelled "9 AM" has to mean "9 AM somewhere". The first city in your list becomes that reference, so every column shows what time it is in that city, and every row shows what time the same moment is for the other cities. Reorder by removing and re-adding cities if you want a different anchor - the grid layout will reshuffle but the math and recommendations stay equivalent.
How does the tool handle daylight saving time?
It uses the browser's built-in Intl.DateTimeFormat with each city's IANA time zone identifier (like America/New_York or Asia/Kolkata). That means DST jumps are applied automatically based on the date you pick. If you switch the date from March to April, cells for cities that just sprang forward will shift by an hour without you doing anything. Manual UTC offsets are never used.
What do the cell colors mean?
Green means everyone is inside their working hours at that anchor hour - book this slot. Amber means most cities (75% or more) are working but at least one is outside. Light grey means the local time is reasonable but outside the working window. Dark grey means it is night for that city (before 6 AM or after 11 PM), which is rarely worth proposing. Adjust the working hours selector to match your team's real schedule.
Is any data sent to a server?
No. All time-zone math runs locally in your browser using the Intl API and a built-in city-to-timezone list. The cities you pick, the date you choose, and the working hours you set never leave your device. Even the "copy invite" button just writes to your clipboard; nothing is logged. You can use it on a corporate laptop without a privacy review.
Why does my city not appear in the search?
The dropdown ships with about 70 major business hubs, so smaller cities are intentionally not listed. If your city shares a time zone with a listed one (which is true for most places - Bengaluru, Mumbai, and New Delhi all share Asia/Kolkata, for instance) just pick the listed city; the local time will be identical. If you genuinely need a less common zone, search by the IANA name (like "Asia/Almaty") and the closest city with that zone will appear.
