WHAT TIME IS IT

About What Time Is It

What Time Is It is a free world clock and timezone tool that gives you the exact local time for any city on the planet — instantly, without sign-ups, ads, or distractions. Whether you're scheduling an international call, planning travel, or simply curious what time it is in Tokyo right now, we've got you covered.

Our Mission

Time zones are confusing. Daylight saving changes happen at different dates in different countries. Remote teams span a dozen time zones. We built What Time Is It to make answering the simple question — "what time is it there?" — as fast and frictionless as possible. No clutter, no account required, just the time.

What We Offer

Live World Clock

Accurate, real-time clocks for over 170 cities worldwide, powered by your browser's built-in timezone engine.

Auto Timezone Detection

The home page automatically detects your local timezone and displays your current time the moment you arrive.

City Search

Instantly find any city with the FIND MY CITY search bar — type a few letters and jump straight to that city's clock page.

Dark Mode

A fully dark theme is available at the click of a button, with your preference saved so it persists across visits.

Our Data

All time calculations are performed directly in your browser using the IANA timezone database — the same database used by your operating system and every major programming language. This means our times are as accurate as your device's clock. We cover over 170 major cities across all continents, with IANA timezone identifiers for every location.

Privacy First

We don't collect personal data. Your timezone is detected locally in your browser and never sent to our servers. Your preferences (dark mode, 12h/24h format) are stored only in your browser's localStorage. Read our full Privacy Policy for details.
