I Built a Free Tool to Visually Schedule Meetings Across Time Zones – Here's Why and How

🌍 The Problem: Scheduling Across Time Zones Is a Headache

As a developer working with remote clients and teams across the US, Europe, and Asia, I was constantly struggling with one thing: finding the right time for a meeting.

We’ve all been there:

• Someone shares a time in their local timezone

• You Google “10 AM EST in IST”

• Then you try to see if it’s within your working hours

• Then repeat the whole thing for a third or fourth teammate…

It’s frustrating, error-prone, and kills productivity.

The Solution: TimeSync Planner

That’s why I built TimeSync Planner — a free web-based tool to visually compare and schedule working hours across time zones.

You simply:

• Add team members and their time zones

• Instantly see a grid of overlapping hours

• Find the best meeting time — visually, without doing any math

✅ Key Features:

• Supports multiple team members

• Color-coded working hours

• No sign-up needed

• Fast, responsive UI (built with Next.js + Tailwind CSS)

• Free to use

🛠️ Tech Stack

Since this was a solo project, I kept the stack lightweight and modern:

• Frontend: Next.js (App Router), Tailwind CSS

• State Management: React hooks

• Hosting: Vercel

• Domain: Planning to move to a .tools domain soon (currently on vercel.app)

The design is optimized for clarity and speed, especially for people hopping in just to find a quick meeting slot.

🔜 What's Next?

This is just the start. I'm actively building:

• Google Calendar integration

• Slack notifications

Eventually, I plan to turn this into a full SaaS with advanced team scheduling tools and collaboration features.
