How do I check the current time in multiple cities at once?
Pick cities - see the current time side by side. All clocks update live, every second.
Each city shows a daylight-saving indicator (when it's in effect) and whether residents are within working hours (9 am - 5 pm). Your city list is saved in your browser - it'll be there next time you open the page.
Perfect for people working with international teams, with family abroad, or tracking stock markets in different parts of the world.
How to use it
- Click "Add city" - type the name (e.g. "Tokyo", "New York", "Sydney").
- Each city shows: current time, date, daylight-saving indicator (when active), working-hours marker.
- Your local timezone is highlighted - you see the difference vs others.
- The city list is saved in your browser - it persists after closing the tab.
- X next to a city removes it from the list.
When this is useful
Everyday reasons to keep several clocks side by side:
- Working with an international team - "I'll hand off to my Singapore colleague tonight". Check whether they're actually starting work when you finish.
- Family and friends abroad - "Mom is in the US - good time to call?". See if it's not 4 am there.
- Client meetings - "client in London writes that we'll meet at 3 pm their time - that's 4 pm for me". Confirm in a glance.
- World stock markets - market sessions open at different times. Tokyo, Frankfurt, New York - traders watch this constantly.
- Travel planning - "I land in Tokyo at 6 pm their time - what is that for me?". Helpful for jet-lag prep.
- Education - geography - kids see that when it's noon in their hometown, it's already 10 pm in Sydney (evening) and only 3 am in Los Angeles (night).
To convert a specific time instead of tracking the current one, use our timezone converter. To plan a meeting with several people across timezones, see meeting planner.
Questions and answers
It shows whether the city is currently in typical working hours (9 am - 5 pm). Green indicator = people are working there. Off = outside working hours (evening, night, early morning). Useful for judging "is it worth sending an email now" to someone in that timezone.
