Remote teams have one recurring headache: figuring out when everyone is actually awake. I built zoneplan.net to solve this in under 30 seconds.
The problem
You have teammates in New York, London, Bangalore, and Tokyo. Someone suggests a meeting at "2 PM my time." Now everyone has to mentally calculate or Google "2 PM EST to IST." Half the team gets it wrong. Someone joins at 2 AM their time.
How ZonePlan fixes this
Add each person's city to the planner. Slide the time bar. Green means everyone is awake. Red means someone is sleeping. You find a meeting time that works for all time zones in seconds, not minutes of back-and-forth messages.
What else it does
Beyond the meeting planner, ZonePlan includes:
- World Clock: track 20+ cities with live time, date, and daylight saving status
- Time Zone Converter: convert any time between any two zones with one click
- Abbreviation database: EST, IST, PST, GMT, UTC and dozens more with current offsets
- Remote team scenarios: Daily standup templates, cross-continent client meeting finders
Built for distributed teams
No login, no app install, no account. Open the URL, add cities, find a time. Works on mobile when you are messaging your team from the couch.
The site uses IANA time zone data and handles daylight saving time transitions automatically. You do not need to know whether London is on GMT or BST right now. The tool handles it.
Free at zoneplan.net. I built it because my own remote team spent way too much time on "what time is it for you" messages.
