World Clock

See every timezone your team works across

Open Tool
Tools / World Clock
Download .md file
Open .md in new tab

Track time across every city your team operates in. Configure the clock here, then embed it in Notion, dashboards, internal tools, or any HTML page.


How It Works

  1. Search and add cities using the search bar — type a city name and click to add
  2. Use presets for common timezone groups (UK + US East, Global, etc.)
  3. Toggle display options — show/hide city names, timezone abbreviations, or seconds
  4. Pick a theme — light or dark to match your Notion page background
  5. Copy the embed URL for Notion's /embed command, or copy the iframe snippet for any HTML page

The live preview updates in real-time as you configure.


Embedding in Notion

  1. Open the World Clock tool and configure your cities
  2. Click Copy URL to copy the embed URL
  3. In Notion, type /embed and paste the URL
  4. Resize the embed block to fit your layout

Embedding via Iframe

  1. Configure your clock and click Copy next to the iframe snippet
  2. Paste the snippet into any HTML page:
<iframe src="https://bydefault.design/tools/world-clock-embed.html?cities=Europe/London,America/New_York,Asia/Tokyo" width="100%" height="140" frameborder="0" style="border:none;"></iframe>

URL Parameters

The embed page accepts these URL parameters:

Parameter Default Description
cities Europe/London,America/New_York,Asia/Tokyo Comma-separated IANA timezone identifiers
showCity true Set to false to hide city names
showTz true Set to false to hide timezone abbreviations
showSeconds false Set to true to show seconds
interval 60 Update interval in seconds
theme light light or dark — matches Notion's background

Supported Cities

The search includes 80+ major cities across all continents. Cities map to IANA timezone identifiers (e.g. Europe/London, America/New_York, Asia/Tokyo). You can also use any valid IANA timezone identifier directly in the URL.
