Introducción a la herramienta

Visión general de la herramienta

The time zone converter helps you plan calls, releases, and travel across regions without doing the math in your head. Type Kathmandu, Nepal, NPT, or Asia/Kathmandu — they all resolve to the same zone. Add up to four cities and the tool draws a 24-hour strip for each one, anchored to the reference zone's local day. Click any hour cell to mark a meeting time and instantly see what it lands on in every other zone (and whether it crosses a day boundary). Everything is computed in your browser using the IANA database via the standard Intl APIs, so daylight-saving transitions are handled correctly and no data leaves your device. Favorite cities, your home zone, your last comparison, and your 12h/24h preference are saved in your browser on this device. You can also save named comparisons — keep one set for NPT–EST–EAT and another for a different team — and share any comparison with a link. Sign in and your saved comparisons sync across devices and show up on your account page.

Preguntas frecuentes

Does it handle daylight saving time?+

Yes. Offsets and abbreviations come from the IANA tz database via the browser's Intl API, which knows DST rules and historical changes for every supported zone.

Why does an hour sometimes show '+1d' or '−1d'?+

When a zone is far enough ahead or behind the reference zone, the same instant falls on the next or previous calendar day. The day badge tells you so you do not book Monday in one city and accidentally land on Tuesday in another.

Where are my saved comparisons and favorites stored?+

On this device, in your browser's local storage — nothing leaves your device by default. If you sign in, your saved comparisons also sync to your account so you see the same ones on every device, and they appear on your account page.

Can I compare more than four zones?+

Four is the cap to keep rows readable on phones and laptops. Remove a zone first if you want to swap one in.

What does the 'reference' label mean?+

The top zone defines which local day the 24-hour grid is anchored to. Reorder rows with the up/down arrows to make a different zone the reference.
