Free tool for long-distance couples
When are you both awake?
Put in your time zone and your partner’s, and see the hours you share each day, the best times to call, and when daylight saving will move them.
How to use it#
Type a city or pick a time zone for each of you, then set when each of you usually wakes up and goes to sleep. If one of you works or has class, tick the box and add those hours so the planner leaves them out. The glowing band shows the time you are both free, and the list under it gives each window in both local times.
A good habit is to claim the longest window as your standing call and use the shorter ones for quick hellos. For more ideas on living with the gap, read our guide to handling a time difference in a long-distance relationship.
Questions#
How do I find the best time to call across time zones?
Enter both time zones and the hours each of you is awake. The planner shows the hours you are both up, lists the longest windows first in both local times, and leaves out work or class hours if you add them.
Does the planner handle daylight saving time?
Yes. It uses today's real offset for both places, and if either clock changes in the next 30 days it tells you the date and how far your shared hours will move. Many countries change on different weekends, so the gap can shift twice.
What if we have no overlapping hours?
Try moving one bedtime or wake-up by an hour, or plan calls on days off when work hours drop away. When live overlap is rare, short asynchronous check-ins, such as a voice note left for the morning, keep you close between calls.
Is my information saved or sent anywhere?
No. The planner runs entirely in your browser. Your time zones and hours are not stored or sent to a server.
