Highlights
- Track multiple cities with analog + digital cards in one board.
- Highlight working hours to see availability across time zones.
- Share settings via URL or export/import JSON for bigger boards.
- Fullscreen board mode for screen saver style displays.
- Updates align to second or minute boundaries for efficiency.
How to use
- Open the add panel and choose a preset city or enter a time zone.
- Adjust display settings such as 12/24-hour format and seconds.
- Enable working hours to highlight availability at a glance.
- Use fullscreen board for a screen saver view, or share via URL/JSON to reuse the board.
World Clock Board
See multiple cities at once with analog + digital clocks.
Your city list stays in this browser and is not sent anywhere.
Share URLs include settings only. Use export/import for larger boards.
How to use this tool effectively
This tool is designed to make scenario checks fast. Use a repeatable workflow: baseline first, one variable change at a time, then compare output direction and magnitude.
How it works
Run your first scenario with defaults. Then, change exactly one assumption and observe which result changes most. That is the fastest way to identify sensitivity and explain what drives the outcome.
When to use
Use this page when you need practical planning support, side-by-side alternatives, or a clean baseline for further discussion.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Changing multiple assumptions simultaneously.
- Confusing percent and decimal inputs.
- Mixing unit systems across scenarios.
- Relying only on rounded display output for final conclusions.
Worked example
Prepare a base case and one alternative case, then compare outputs and validate the direction, scale, and interpretation with the same assumptions across both cases.

FAQ
Does the share URL include all cities?
Share URLs include settings and up to six cities. Use JSON export/import for larger boards.
How does working hours highlight work?
Each card checks its local time against your work-hour window, including overnight ranges like 22:00-06:00.
What should I define first on this page?
Start with a clear baseline scenario and minimum required inputs. Keep optional controls at defaults for the first run, then change one assumption at a time.
Why do identical values differ across pages or tools?
Different pages often use different defaults, units, period definitions, and rounding rules. Align these before comparing outputs.
How do I avoid misleading conclusions from this calculator?
Use one baseline, one assumption change, and one interpretation rule. If direction and scale are both reasonable, the result is usually robust enough for planning.

How this tool helps
Tools are designed for quick scenario comparisons. They work best when you keep one question per run, define success criteria first, and avoid switching objectives mid-stream. This reduces decision noise and produces results you can defend in follow-up review.
Input validation checklist
Before running, verify that required values are in the right format, that optional flags are intentionally set, and that baseline assumptions reflect current conditions. Invalid assumptions are often mistaken for tool bugs, so validation is part of interpretation quality.
Scenario planning pattern
Build three rows: conservative, expected, and aggressive cases. Keep data sources transparent for each case and compare output spacing. The pattern helps you spot non-linear jumps and decide whether a model is stable under plausible variation.
When to revisit inputs
Revisit inputs when input scale changes, time window shifts, or downstream decisions add new constraints. If constraints change, your previous output remains a useful reference but should not be treated as final guidance.
Operational checkpoint 1
Record the exact values and intent before you finalize any comparison. Confirm the unit system, date context, and business constraints. Compare outputs side by side and check whether differences are explained by one changed variable or by hidden assumptions. This checkpoint often reveals the single factor that changed everything.
Operational checkpoint 2
Record the exact values and intent before you finalize any comparison. Confirm the unit system, date context, and business constraints. Compare outputs side by side and check whether differences are explained by one changed variable or by hidden assumptions. This checkpoint often reveals the single factor that changed everything.
Operational checkpoint 3
Record the exact values and intent before you finalize any comparison. Confirm the unit system, date context, and business constraints. Compare outputs side by side and check whether differences are explained by one changed variable or by hidden assumptions. This checkpoint often reveals the single factor that changed everything.
Operational checkpoint 4
Record the exact values and intent before you finalize any comparison. Confirm the unit system, date context, and business constraints. Compare outputs side by side and check whether differences are explained by one changed variable or by hidden assumptions. This checkpoint often reveals the single factor that changed everything.
Operational checkpoint 5
