Meeting planner for time zones
When is everyone at their desk?
Add up to six cities and move the sun. The light on the planet is real, so daylight saving is already accounted for - and the page says who is at their desk rather than leaving you to count backwards on your fingers.
You move the sun. The world answers.
The globe is not a picture of a globe. The terminator is where the sun actually is at that moment on that date, computed on your own device, so a clock change in one city is a fact of the image rather than a footnote under it. Move the sun or the timeline and every city re-reads - local time, working hours, and whether the whole meeting fits.
Add your cities
Up to six. Set each person's working hours once; Meridian handles the offsets, the daylight saving and the weekend - which is theirs, not ours.
Choose the window
Pick a date and how long the meeting is. The answer accounts for the whole meeting, not just the moment it starts, so a call that would overrun someone's day is not offered as one that fits.
Send it
Copy every local time in one line, add it to your calendar, or share the link - which carries the date, the cities, the time and the length, so they see exactly what you see.

Meeting planner for time zones
Meridian is a meeting planner for people whose clients live in other time zones. Add up to six cities, move the sun around the globe, and watch who is at their desk. The light on the planet is real - it is where the sun is at that moment on that date, so daylight saving is already accounted for. When everyone is within working hours, and the whole meeting fits inside them, the page says so.
If someone has already suggested a time by email, paste it in. Meridian reads "Thursday afternoon your time, not Friday" and moves the sun to the first slot that works for everyone. That message is the only thing that ever leaves your browser: it goes to Anthropic's API to be read. We do not log or store it, and Anthropic keeps it only as long as its retention policy says. Everything else - every time on this page - is worked out on your own device from your browser's timezone data, so there is no account and nothing to sign up for.
Questions
Does it handle daylight saving?
Yes. Every time on the page comes from your browser's timezone database, which knows when each city changes. If your call crosses a change, the gap moves and the page shows the new time.
Can I set different working hours for each city?
Yes. Click a city card to edit its hours. Weekends count as out of hours, so the page will tell you nobody is at their desk on a Saturday rather than pretending otherwise.
What if there is no time that works for everyone?
Meridian shows the best fit it can find and names who would be outside hours, rather than pretending it works. The ring is dashed rather than solid when that happens, so a partial answer never looks like a whole one. Widen someone's hours or drop a city and try again.
Can I put Meridian on my own site?
Yes. Choose Embed, copy the snippet, paste it into any page. It carries a small “Built by Digitopia Labs” line, which is the price of it being free.
