World Clock & Time Zone App for iPhone.

Up to 5 time zones, daylight-aware zone cards and the city view, the time-shift planner, Best Time to Call, and Travel Mode — including your Home city's public holidays and clock changes. The free widgets are Home & Away, Single Zone, Multi-City (2 cities), the circular Lock Screen clock and StandBy. Groups, Meeting Overlap, clock-change alerts and public holidays for your other cities, notifications, exports, the inline and rectangular Lock Screen clocks, the Meeting Hub widget and the larger Multi-City sizes need Lifetime or Plus.

Yes. The Lifetime option ($39.99 AUD) unlocks everything except iCloud Sync with a single purchase. No subscription, no renewal. You keep all current features forever on iOS and iPadOS.

iCloud Sync is an active, continuously running service — it keeps your zones and groups in sync across your supported Apple devices. Because it requires ongoing maintenance, it's the one feature that honestly belongs with a subscription. Everything else is a one-time unlock.

iCloud Sync (your zones appear instantly on every supported Apple device you own), Family Sharing with the Annual plan (up to 5 family members), and early access to new features. If iCloud Sync or Family Sharing matters to you, Plus Annual is the right choice. If you prefer owning your software outright, Lifetime is the better deal.

Yes — the Annual plan includes Family Sharing for up to 5 family members via App Store Family Sharing. The Monthly plan does not include Family Sharing. Lifetime does not include Family Sharing.

Yes. Your time zones, groups, and settings never leave your device — there are no accounts and no servers of our own. The app uses only anonymous, aggregate analytics (via Firebase) to understand which features are used; it is never linked to your identity and never sold. If you enable iCloud Sync (Plus only), your data is stored in your personal iCloud account — not ours. We never see it.

When a tracked time zone has a daylight saving change coming up, the alerts banner at the top of the Home screen says so, and Time Impacts lists every clock change and public holiday across your cities for the next 7 days, 30 days, 3 months or the whole year. Your Home city's clock changes are shown on every tier; the rest need Lifetime or Plus. If you enable notifications, you'll get alerts 7 days before, the business day before, the morning of the change, and the day after — all scheduled on-device.

Meeting Overlap finds the best time window to meet across any number of time zones. It checks every candidate window against each city's local work hours, sorts the results into Best, Other options and Your picks — ranked so everyone stretches a little rather than one person taking all of it — and shows each city's local time. Tap any of the next seven days to plan that day; days off, public holidays and clock changes are flagged before you book. Share the result as a clean image or text. Requires Lifetime or Plus.

Yes. Ask Siri for the time in a city, whether a city is in work hours, or its next public holiday. Three App Shortcuts also appear in Siri, Spotlight, and the Shortcuts app: “Plan a meeting in Time Zone Buddy”, “Add a time zone in Time Zone Buddy”, and “Show alerts in Time Zone Buddy”, and long-pressing the Home Screen icon exposes the same three as Quick Actions. Saved zones are indexed in Spotlight with their country flag, region, UTC offset, and both standard and DST abbreviations — search EST, EDT, AEST, or AEDT any time of year and the right zone surfaces.

Yes. Home & Away, Single Zone, Multi-City (2 cities), the circular Lock Screen clock and the StandBy bedside clock are free. Lifetime and Plus add the inline and rectangular Lock Screen clocks, Multi-City with up to 6 cities, and the Meeting Hub widget that shows who's in work hours right now across all your zones, who's coming online soon, and who's off. Tap any widget to jump straight into the app. Widgets read your data on-device through a private App Group — nothing leaves your device.

Open Time Zone Buddy → Settings → Restore Purchases. Your Lifetime or Plus subscription will be restored automatically using your Apple ID.
