How the World Clock works
Open the page — 8 major city clocks (New York, London, Paris, Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney) display automatically.
Each clock updates live, once per second.
The UTC offset for each city is shown below its time.
No setup or configuration is needed — the same 8 cities load every time you open the page.
Tips & tricks
- The 8 cities span a wide spread of time zones on purpose — useful as a quick at-a-glance check before scheduling a call across regions, even without picking your exact cities.
- If none of the 8 match the specific city you need, the Time Zone Converter tool covers any IANA time zone by name, not just this fixed list.
- Keep the tab pinned or bookmarked if you check it daily — there's no setup to redo since the city list never changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which cities does the world clock show?
A fixed set of 8: New York, London, Paris, Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore, Tokyo, and Sydney. The list isn't currently customizable — for a city outside this set, the Time Zone Converter tool lets you check any time zone directly.
Can I add my own city or remove one from the list?
Not currently — the 8 cities are fixed. If you regularly need a city outside this set, the Time Zone Converter tool supports any IANA time zone directly.
Does it account for daylight saving time?
Yes. Each city's time and UTC offset come from your browser's built-in time zone database (the same IANA data your phone and computer use), so daylight saving transitions are handled automatically with no manual adjustment.
Can I share my clock setup with someone else?
There's nothing to configure or share — everyone who opens the page sees the same fixed set of 8 cities.
Does the clock keep running if I leave the tab open in the background?
Yes, as long as the tab stays open the times keep updating every second, even if you switch to another window.

Completely safe. The World Clock processes everything locally in your browser. No input data, results, or usage information is ever transmitted to or stored on any server.
