How WhenWorks4U Works

WhenWorks4U is a visual timezone meeting planner that makes scheduling across borders simple. Instead of manually converting times and guessing at overlaps, you search for up to five cities from our database of 400+ locations worldwide. The app instantly builds a colour-coded 24-hour grid showing every participant's working hours side by side — no spreadsheets, no mental arithmetic.

The grid uses a traffic-light system: green cells represent core working hours (8am–6pm local time), amber cells show early morning or evening hours, and red cells indicate the middle of the night. Columns highlighted in blue are "golden windows" — hours where every selected city falls within core working hours simultaneously. These are your best candidates for a meeting everyone can attend without sacrificing their morning or staying up late.

Once you've spotted a good window, WhenWorks4U's smart suggestion engine ranks the top three meeting slots by score and labels each one Great, Good, or Fair. Click Copy to grab a plain-text summary for a Slack message or email, or click Select to download a .ics calendar file compatible with Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar.

You can also plan ahead. Use the date selector to pick any future date — complete with quick buttons for Today, Tomorrow, +7 days, and +14 days — and the entire grid recalculates using the correct timezone offsets for that specific date. This means daylight saving time transitions are handled automatically, so a meeting you book for three weeks' time will reflect the correct local times even if clocks have shifted in the meantime.

Why Use a Timezone Meeting Planner?

Scheduling meetings across time zones is one of the most persistent friction points for remote and globally distributed teams. A single call involving colleagues in Sydney, London, and New York spans almost every time zone on the planet — and without a visual aid, it is easy to accidentally book a meeting at 3am for someone, or create a recurring pattern that consistently disadvantages the same people.

The challenge is made significantly harder by daylight saving time. The United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and Australia all change their clocks on different weekends throughout the year. Countries in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, China, and large parts of Africa and South America do not observe daylight saving time at all. This means the time difference between two cities can shift by one or even two hours depending on the season — making a mental calculation that was already tricky into something genuinely unreliable without the right tool.

A dedicated meeting time planner removes that guesswork entirely. Rather than maintaining a timezone conversion spreadsheet, relying on each attendee to figure out their own local time, or accidentally booking a meeting that clashes with someone's school run or lunch hour, a visual planner gives everyone the same ground truth in seconds.

WhenWorks4U is built specifically for this problem. It covers 400+ cities across every continent, automatically applies the correct daylight saving rules for any date, and surfaces meeting windows that are fair and reasonable for every participant — not just the ones in the most convenient timezone. Whether you're a freelancer coordinating with an overseas client, a startup with a distributed team, or an enterprise running global standup calls, WhenWorks4U helps you find a time that genuinely works for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the best meeting time across time zones?

Search for up to five cities using the search bar at the top of the page. WhenWorks4U instantly builds a colour-coded 24-hour grid showing each city's working hours. Green cells are core hours (8am–6pm), amber is early or late, and red is nighttime. Columns highlighted in blue are your ideal windows — every city is in core hours at the same time. The smart suggestion cards below the grid rank the top three slots automatically.

Does WhenWorks4U handle daylight saving time?

Yes, fully and automatically. All time calculations use the browser's built-in IANA timezone database, which includes the complete daylight saving rules for every country. This applies to the live clocks, the overlap grid, and the smart suggestions. When you select a future date, the grid recalculates using the exact DST rules in force on that specific date.

Is WhenWorks4U free?

Yes, completely free. No subscription, no premium plan, no account required. The app runs entirely in your browser with no server involved, so there are no usage limits or hidden costs either.

Can I export a meeting to Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar?

Yes. Click Select on any suggestion card, enter your event title and duration, then click Download .ics. The resulting file is a standard iCalendar format compatible with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Apple Calendar, Fastmail, Proton Calendar, and any other app that supports .ics files.

How many cities can I compare at once?

Up to five cities at a time. WhenWorks4U covers 400+ cities across every continent, including major capitals and secondary regional cities. Your selections are automatically saved in your browser so they're still there on your next visit.

Can I plan a meeting for a future date?

Yes. Use the Meeting Date selector to choose any future date. Quick buttons let you jump to Today, Tomorrow, +7 days, or +14 days. The grid and suggestions update immediately, using the correct DST offsets for that date.

Does WhenWorks4U store or share my data?

No. WhenWorks4U runs entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server, and nothing is stored in the cloud. Your city selections and theme preference are saved only in your own browser's local storage and are never transmitted or shared with anyone.

Does WhenWorks4U work on mobile?

Yes. The app is fully responsive and works on any modern smartphone or tablet. The 24-hour grid scrolls horizontally on small screens, and the layout adapts for touch. It works in Safari on iOS, Chrome on Android, and all major desktop browsers.

What is a good meeting time for teams in Australia and the UK?

It depends on the time of year due to daylight saving time, but typically the best overlap between Australian Eastern time (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane) and UK time (London) is early morning UK time — around 7am–9am London, which falls in the late afternoon or early evening in Australia. WhenWorks4U shows this overlap visually and adjusts automatically when either region changes its clocks.

My city isn't listed — what should I do?

Select the nearest major city in the same timezone. For example, if you're in Geelong, Australia, choose Melbourne — they share the same timezone so the times will be identical. WhenWorks4U covers 400+ cities and is continually expanding its database.
