The world clock app built for iPhone.

Time Zone Buddy is a privacy-first world clock app and time zone app for iPhone and iPad. Track as many time zones as you need, see daylight and work hours at a glance, find the perfect meeting window across continents, and get notified before every clock change — all without sending a single byte to our servers. Whether you work with a global team or just need a reliable world clock and time zone converter at your fingertips, Time Zone Buddy has you covered.

🌏

Time zones that come alive.

Aurora zone cards shift from warm amber at sunrise to vivid cerulean at midday — and deep navy at night. In real time, for every zone you're watching.

Plan any time, from anywhere.

Drag the time-shift bar ±12 hours, pick a future date, and instantly see the clock in every zone. No calculator, no guessing.

🕐
📅

The perfect meeting window, found.

Meeting Overlap ranks every possible overlap window by how many people it works for. Share the result as a clean image — no app required on their end.

Never miss a clock change.

DST alerts appear in-app the week before a transition, with optional push notifications at 7 days out, the business day before, and the morning it happens.

🔔
🎙️

Right where you need it.

Long-press the app icon to plan a meeting, add a zone, or jump straight to alerts. Ask Siri or use the Shortcuts app: “Plan a meeting in Time Zone Buddy.”

Spotlight indexes every zone you've saved with its country flag, region, UTC offset, and both abbreviations — search EST, EDT, AEST, or AEDT any time of year and the right zone surfaces. Tap to open it instantly.

Built for Apple, end to end.

A native SwiftUI app for iPhone and iPad. Liquid Glass surfaces, App Intents, Siri, Spotlight, Quick Actions, the Share Sheet, iCloud Sync, full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support, and Reduce Motion respect — it feels like Apple shipped it.

Frequently asked questions

Up to 5 time zones, the full aurora zone card display (including daylight, sunrise/sunset, and work hours), and the time-shift planner. Ads are shown on the home and detail screens. Groups, Meeting Overlap, DST alerts, public holidays, notifications, and exports require 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. Time Zone Buddy has no servers, no accounts, and no analytics. Everything stays on your device. 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 timezone has an upcoming daylight saving change within 7 days, a banner appears at the top of the Home screen (Lifetime/Plus only). If you enable notifications, you'll receive push alerts at 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 timezones. It calculates which time slots overlap with the work hours of the most people in your tracked zones, ranks them, and shows local times for each zone. Share the result as a clean image or text. Requires Lifetime or Plus.
Yes. Three App Shortcuts ship with the app and appear automatically 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”. Long-pressing the Home Screen icon exposes the same three 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. Tap a result to open the zone instantly.
