What this site is for
The Time Mag began with a simple frustration: the web has plenty of time-zone tools, but most of them feel like dashboards built for engineers, not pages built for readers. We wanted something quieter — closer to a printed almanac than a control panel — that still tells you the exact second when you need it.
Every clock on this site runs in your browser, synchronised against the IANA Time Zone Database (the same source operating systems use). Sunrise and sunset are computed from each city's actual coordinates using the standard NOAA solar position algorithm. Daylight saving transitions are detected automatically. There is no analytics tracker, no advertising network, no popup begging you to install an app.
How to use it
- For a single city: Use the World Clock and search by name — Tokyo, Karachi, Buenos Aires, anywhere.
- To compare cities: Open any city page; you'll see the time in six major hubs alongside it, plus distance and offset.
- To plan around DST: Each city page lists the next daylight saving transition, if any.
- For sunrise/sunset: Every city page includes today's solar schedule — civil dawn, sunrise, solar noon, sunset, civil dusk, and total day length.
Recent additions
We add cities slowly and deliberately. The current edition covers all national capitals, every city above 500,000 people, and every notable financial or transit hub. If a city you need is missing, tell us and we'll add it.
