About World Clock Master

What makes World Clock Master different from other time zone apps?

We focus on the details. World Clock Master offers an innovative 24-hour dial, a large database of over 160,000 time zones and locations, and interactive widgets that respond to your touch. Plus, we’re constantly improving, supported by a passionate community hether you need custom features or just reliable support, we’ve got you covered.

Is World Clock Master free to use?

You can use the World Clock Master for free with a limited set of locations (capital cities only). You can subscribe to the premium version to get additional features such as custom location names, and allow unlimited number of locations and timezones to be added to the app.

Does it work offline or require constant internet access?

It doesn’t need a continuous internet connection. The core features stay available offline, including your saved time zones. When you’re back online, the app updates your data automatically. Keep in mind that widgets might take a few moments to refresh after offline use because they rely on GPS and phone tower signals for location updates. Once they sync, you’ll see up‑to‑date information again.

What type of person would benefit from World Clock Master?

Anyone who needs to coordinate across different time zones. Our users include people working in international teams or with global clients, those who have family and friends around the world, frequent travelers, pilots, and anyone passionate about mastering time. If you regularly interact with different time zones, World Clock Master is designed to make your life easier.

Do you account for Daylight Savings Time in the future when I convert time?

Yes. World Clock Master automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time, even for future dates. We use a constantly updated database that tracks DST rules, so you can schedule in advance and trust your times will always be correct

Where do I find Android version?

We currently don’t have an Android version. World Clock Master is available on iOS and Vision Pro at this time. If we introduce an Android app in the future, we’ll be sure to let everyone know.

How often do you update the time zone database?

We update our database every week. Daylight Saving Time rules can shift in various regions, so we ensure all data reflects the most current information. This way, whether you’re scheduling a meeting in Europe or traveling through Australia, you’ll always see the correct local times.

Will World Clock Master share my location data with anyone else?

No. We value your privacy. Location data is used solely to improve app functionality (like accurate widgets and offline time checking). We don’t sell or share personal data with third parties. Check our Privacy Policy for complete details on how your data is handled.

How to use

How do I set up World Clock Master for the first time?

Download and open World Clock Master on your iPhone, iPad, or Vision Pro device. Grant any permissions requested (like location access) so you get the best experience. From there, you can start adding your favorite cities and exploring the 24‑hour dial to see who’s awake or asleep in the blink of an eye.

How can I add or remove time zones in my list?

You can use the World Clock Master for free with a limited set of locations (capital cities only). You can subscribe to the premium version to get additional features such as custom location names, and allow unlimited number of locations and timezones to be added to the app.

What’s the best way to reorder or group my saved locations?

Simply press and hold a location, then drag it to your desired spot on the list. Group them by region, project, or however you like. Organizing your time zones keeps everything neat, so you can quickly see who’s online and when.

How do I convert times between different cities quickly?

Tap any city in your list to open up the 24‑hour dial. Select a date and time, and watch as World Clock Master instantly shows you the local times in all your saved locations. No mental math needed — just tap, scroll, and let the app handle the details.

Where can I find the offline options, and what features work without the internet?

No continuous internet connection is required. Once you’ve added your time zones, they’re saved on your device. Even offline, you can check the time or schedule your appointments. When you reconnect, the app automatically updates any changes in Daylight Savings or city data.

How do I sync events with my device’s calendar?

World Clock Master links seamlessly with your device’s calendar. When you pick a time for a meeting or event, just tap the option to create a calendar entry. Your device will handle notifications and reminders for you — so you’ll never miss a beat, no matter the zone.

Can I customize notifications for meetings scheduled in different time zones?

Yes. Once you create an event through World Clock Master and add it to your device’s calendar, you can set notifications the same way you would for any local event. Your device converts reminders to your current time zone automatically, making cross‑continental scheduling a breeze.

Can I receive reminders in my local time for events scheduled in another time zone?

Absolutely. World Clock Master connects with the calendars on your device, so when you create or schedule events in different time zones, you’ll still get reminders according to your local time. It’s designed to give you clear, accurate global time data so you can stay organized wherever you are.

Can I sync my saved time zones across multiple Apple devices?

Yes. By using the same Apple ID on iPhone, iPad, or Vision Pro, your list of saved locations syncs automatically via iCloud. If you add or delete a city on your iPhone, you’ll see the change on your iPad or Vision Pro too — so you can pick up right where you left off.

Can I view my saved time zones in a simple list instead of the 24-hour dial?

Absolutely. In List Mode, you’ll see all your saved locations in a straightforward text-based list, each showing the current local time. You can enable it in the app’s Settings or switch back to the 24-hour dial whenever you want a more visual snapshot of global time differences. This dual-view approach makes it easy to toggle between a concise overview and a more detailed, interactive display.

Time, timezones and productivity

What’s the best way to organize my time zones for quick reference if I manage multiple global teams?

A great strategy is to group your locations by project or team name so you can quickly spot each group’s local time. Label them in a way that makes sense to you — like “Team Paris” or “HQ New York” — and reorder your list so the most important clocks appear first. This way, you can glance at your device and immediately see who’s online and when. World Clock Master makes it easy to add or remove cities, so you can keep everything organized and up to date for each global team you manage.

Is there a “main timezone” in the world?

Not exactly. While there isn’t one single “main” time zone, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is recognized as the global standard. All other time zones are defined in relation to UTC (for example, UTC+2 or UTC-5). This helps ensure consistency when converting between local times around the world.

How do time zones work?

Time zones split the world into regions where local clocks read the same hour. Each zone is set relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which acts as a global reference point. When you say “UTC+3,” it means the local time is three hours ahead of UTC. Countries often adjust their offsets for Daylight Savings Time, and some even tweak their time zones for political or geographic reasons. This system keeps sunrise and sunset roughly aligned with typical work and sleep schedules around the globe. Read our article about it!

How do I handle time zones with half-hour or quarter-hour offsets?

World Clock Master fully supports time zones with unusual offsets (like UTC+5:30 or UTC+9:45). When you add a city in these regions, the app automatically displays the correct local time. You can schedule events or convert times just like any other zone — the app handles all the math in the background so you can stay focused on what matters.
