What we build

Time tools for everyday planning.

Each tool works from your browser time zone first, then lets you compare countries, cities, dates and daylight changes without creating an account.

Where our data comes from

Data sources are named clearly.

Time zones, places, holidays, sun times and moon phases come from named public sources. The goal is simple: you should know where the answer came from.

  1. 01
    Time zones and daylight saving

    Every UTC offset and clock change rule comes from the time zone database kept by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, the same data used by phones and computers.

  2. 02
    Places

    City and state names, coordinates and time zones come from GeoNames, an open geographical database, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence.

  3. 03
    Public holidays

    Holiday dates for 245 countries and territories come from the open-source holidays library, which is maintained by volunteers around the world.

  4. 04
    Sunrise and sunset

    Sun times are calculated with the solar position formulas behind the solar calculator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

  5. 05
    Moon phases

    New moon, full moon and quarter times use the algorithms in Astronomical Algorithms by Jean Meeus, a standard reference in astronomy.
