A simpler time zone meeting planner

Best Time To Talk helps you find a sensible one hour overlap between people in different cities. Instead of making you compare clocks yourself, the planner checks the local time in every selected city and suggests one best option plus two reasonable alternatives.

It works for international meetings, remote teams, long distance calls, friends and family abroad, or any situation where “What time works for you?” gets complicated.

Remote teams

Compare several office locations and find a meeting time that avoids pushing one team too early or too late.

Long distance calls

Find an hour when both people are realistically awake, rather than relying on a raw time zone difference.

Friends & family

Useful for regular calls between people living abroad, especially when daylight saving changes make the gap move.

How to find a good meeting time across time zones

1. Add each city

Use cities rather than just countries. Large countries can contain several time zones, so the exact location matters.

2. Compare sensible hours

The planner favours daytime and early evening hours and avoids options that would put somebody outside a reasonable waking window.

3. Pick the fairest option

Use the best suggestion or choose one of the alternatives if it fits work, school or family schedules better.

Time zone meeting planner FAQ

Does the planner account for daylight saving time?

Yes. The browser’s time zone data is used to calculate local times, so daylight saving changes are reflected automatically where they apply.

Can I compare more than two cities?

Yes. Add multiple cities and the planner looks for a one hour window that is reasonable across the whole group.

Why can the time difference between two cities change?

Different countries can change their clocks on different dates, and some places do not use daylight saving at all. That means a familiar time difference is not always fixed throughout the year.

What counts as a sensible time?

The tool prioritises normal daytime hours, then reasonable early morning and evening options. It avoids suggestions that fall in the middle of the night.

Is this a time zone converter?

It is primarily a meeting time finder rather than a single time converter. Its job is to find a practical overlap between locations, not just tell you the numerical time difference.

Times are suggestions, not calendar bookings. Always confirm the date and local time with everyone attending.
