World Clock
Compare live times across up to 12 cities, with favorites and set-alarm shortcuts.
The world clock at setalarmclock.net puts multiple cities side by side, each ticking live with its date, timezone, and offset from your local time — compare up to twelve at once.
Add any city with a typeahead search, drag to reorder, star your favorites, and jump straight from a city into a timezone alarm or the meeting planner.
What the full world clock does
- Live city cards comparing up to 12 cities, ticking every second
- Add any city via typeahead search backed by a full city dataset
- Offset to your local time on every card; drag-to-reorder
- Favorites saved in your browser
- Per-city “set alarm” shortcut and a “Plan a meeting” hand-off into Meeting Planner
- Shareable state via URL; city detail pages with DST information
The full world clock is interactive — search and add cities, reorder them, save favorites, and deep-link into related tools. The embed is a fixed single-city display; the tool page is the multi-city cockpit.
It handles daylight-saving changes automatically, so a comparison you set up today stays correct through the year without any maintenance on your part.
Common use cases
- Coordinating a distributed team
- Planning international calls
- Head-office time on a contact page
- Travel and booking planning
- Following global markets or events
