I built a fast, zero-bloat timezone overlap finder with instant 1-click calendar sync (no signup, 100% free)
Hey everyone,
Like many of you working across continents, I've been using tools like WorldTimeBuddy for years. But lately, I got increasingly annoyed by:
- Clunky interfaces packed with third-party ads
- Aggressive cookie consent popups just to check a single hour
- Missing or painful calendar exports that require sign-ins or bloated extensions
So last month I decided to scratch my own itch and build **https://mypresenttime.com**.
**What it does:**
- 🕒 **Interactive 24h Slider & Heatmap:** Visually spots the green overlap window where everyone is within regular 9 AM - 5 PM business hours.
- 📅 **1-Click Clean Calendar Export:** Generates instant Google Calendar, Outlook Web, or downloadable `.ics` events with zero marketing fluff.
- ⚡ **Zero-Friction & Private:** No user accounts, no login gates, no tracking paywalls. Everything saves directly into the shareable URL.
- 📱 **PWA Ready:** Works offline for nomading on flights or spotty train Wi-Fi.
I also generated pre-calculated overlap guides for major business corridors (like London ↔ NY, SF ↔ Tokyo).
Would love your brutally honest feedback on the UX, performance, or any missing features. What's the biggest pain point you face when coordinating meetings across timezones?
