The time-zone planner shows one moment in several places at once: Manila, New York, Los Angeles, London and UTC. It was built for the reality of working between the Philippines and the United States, where a call at a sensible hour for one person can be the middle of the night for another.
How to use it
- Enter a date and time in the Date and time field.
- Choose the time zone that date and time belongs to in the Starting time zone list.
- Choose Run tool. The same moment is listed for every location, including the full date and time-zone name.
Screen-reader and keyboard tips
Results appear in a live region, so VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS and TalkBack read the answer as soon as it is ready without moving your focus. Press Tab to move between fields and Shift+Tab to go back. On an iPhone or iPad, swipe right with one finger to move through the form and double-tap to activate a button.
- Each result line ends with the location’s time-zone name, so you can listen for the city you need.
- The full date is included because a time in Manila is often on a different calendar day than in the United States.
Ways people use it
- Scheduling an interview, recording session or livestream across countries.
- Checking what time a release goes live in another region.
- Planning calls with family or collaborators overseas.
Questions and answers
Does it handle daylight saving time?
Yes. Your browser’s time-zone data applies daylight saving time for New York, Los Angeles and London automatically. The Philippines does not use daylight saving time.
Can I add other cities?
