World Clock

I built World Clock during a month of travel: coordinating calls across timezones, checking weather in cities ahead, planning days that started in one country and ended in another. It brings all of that into your planner instead of a separate app.

Adding cities

Turn on the World Clock section from the Layout editor, then tap the globe button at the end of the row to open the clock editor. Search for any city and Finalist finds both its timezone and live weather. You can add your local time as a clock too, drag clocks to reorder, long-press one to rename it, and swipe to delete. Your clocks sync to all your devices via iCloud.

Reading the clocks

Each city shows as a compact stamp: name, live time, UTC offset, and a moon when it's nighttime there. So you know at a glance that it's a bad time to call Tokyo.

See your day in another timezone

Tap a clock and your entire Daily view retunes to that city: task times, the header, checkboxes, and the weather all switch to that timezone, with a note confirming "All times in that city's timezone." It answers the question "what does my Tuesday look like in Sydney time?" in one tap. Tap the clock again to come home.

Tap a clock's weather icon for an inline forecast; how far ahead it looks (hourly for 8 or 24 hours, or daily up to 10 days) is configurable in the World Clock options in Layout.

Scheduling in another timezone

When you're setting a time on a task or event, a globe button appears next to the time picker. Tap it and pick one of your cities to schedule in that city's local time: "9am Lisbon" stays 9am in Lisbon, whatever your phone thinks. The globe lights up while the override is on; tap the lit globe to switch back to local time.

In Broadsheet

If you use the Broadsheet design, the World Clock renders as its own newsprint-style board, and tapping a city retunes the whole page the same way. A day-ahead city like Sydney rolls the weekday, date, and forecast forward.
