World Clock
See the current time in cities around the world at a glance. The World Clock shows live, ticking clocks for multiple time zones at once, with each location's date, UTC offset, and a day or night indicator. Add or remove cities and switch between 24-hour and 12-hour formats.
ToolsSoup's World Clock is a free online tool that shows the current time in cities around the world all at once. Instead of converting one zone at a time, you get a live grid of ticking clocks — each with the local time, the day of the week, the UTC offset, and a sun or moon indicator showing whether it's day or night there. Add the cities you care about, remove the ones you don't, and toggle between 24-hour and 12-hour time. Everything runs in your browser using your device's own time zone data, including correct daylight saving offsets, so nothing is uploaded and the clocks stay accurate.
What is a world clock?
A world clock displays the current local time in many places simultaneously, so you can compare time zones at a glance without doing any math. Because each city is offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by a different amount — and many shift by an hour for daylight saving — keeping track of who's awake, who's at work, and who's asleep is hard in your head. This tool lays it all out: a card per city showing the live clock, the date there, the UTC offset, and whether it's daytime or nighttime.
How to use the world clock
Building your own world clock takes just a few seconds:
- Pick a city from the dropdown and click Add to drop a new clock into the grid.
- Repeat for every location you want to watch — the clocks tick live, second by second.
- Remove any city with the × on its card, switch between 24-hour and 12-hour format, or copy all the current times with one click.
Does it handle daylight saving time?
Yes. Each clock is rendered using your browser's built-in time zone database, which knows the daylight saving rules for every region. The UTC offset shown on each card reflects the rule actually in effect right now for that city, so when a place springs forward or falls back, its clock and offset update automatically — you never have to adjust anything by hand.
Why are the dates different on some clocks?
When two cities are far apart, the same instant can land on a different calendar day in each one. It can be Tuesday evening in New York while it's already Wednesday morning in Tokyo. Each card shows its own date and weekday alongside the time, so you can immediately see when a location is a day ahead or behind — handy for scheduling calls across the international date line.

Frequently asked questions
How do I see the time in multiple time zones at once?
Pick a city from the dropdown and click Add to place a live clock for it in the grid. Repeat for every location you want, and all the clocks tick together in real time so you can compare them at a glance.
Does the world clock account for daylight saving time?
Yes. Every clock uses your browser's time zone database, which applies each region's daylight saving rules automatically. The UTC offset on each card always reflects the rule in effect right now, so the times stay correct year-round.
Can I switch between 24-hour and 12-hour time?
Yes. Use the 24h / 12h toggle at the top to switch every clock between 24-hour and 12-hour (AM/PM) format. The choice applies to all clocks in the grid at once.
What does the sun or moon icon mean?
It's a quick day or night indicator. A sun means it's daytime in that city (roughly 6 AM to 6 PM local time) and a moon means it's nighttime, so you can tell at a glance whether someone is likely awake.
Are the clocks accurate and private?
The clocks are driven by your own device's system time and time zone data, and everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing you do is sent to a server, so the world clock is both private and as accurate as your computer's clock.
