All docs for World Cal

Local Timzezone

The “local timezone” is fixed in the left-most position for convenience, but if you prefer to have a different timezone visible as the left-most, while still showing your local timezone, it’s possible. Here’s how: tap the timezone list. Delect the perminent “local timezone”. Add whatever timezones you like, and then add a new “Local timezone” (yes, you can have multiple). Thus, you have a new left-most timezone, with your local timezone still in the list.

Creating Events

To create an event, simply tap a time twice. Double tap the time Give it a name, and tap “add” Done!

Find a good time to call friends

Friends in different timezones? Easily figure out when would be a good time for a chat with World Calendar. World clocks are great for showing you the current time in different places, but if you want to figure out when would be a good time to chat, for example when it’s 10am in your friend’s city, you’ll need to do a bunch of math, and who wants to do that?

macOS Calendar Permissions

Calendar Premissions To configure World Calendar correctly with macOS permissions, open Settings and browse to Privacy & Security -> Calendars Two steps: Toggle World Calendar to on Tap “Options” Select “Full calendar access” Full access is needed to display your calendar events on the World Calendar.

Anywhere on Earth

IEEE ballots have a deadline in the “Anywhere on Earth” (AoE) timezone which means as long as it’s that day somewhere, the dealine hasn’t passed. To get this timezone (which is essentially UTC-1200), simply search for “AoE” in World Calendar.

Timezone nicknames

By default, World Calendar displays the timezone based on the city or UTC offset you searched. However you can set custom names as well.

Mac Shortcuts

World Calendar can be used on Mac as a native app. Just download from the App Store. On the mac there are some handy keyboard shortcuts. In fact you can perform most of the commonly used functions with just the keyboard alone

History

World calendar can automatically add timezones to your list as you travel.

UTC Timezones

Generally most users of World Cal will add timezones by cities. Adding a city rather than a specific timezone offset allows the app to adjust for changes like daylight savings time, and even shifts in the official timezones (which happen rarely, but they do happen). It is possible to also add offsets directly.

Since World Calendar is more than just a clock, you can see future dates and times, and easily pick the right time for your meeting.

Travel Planning
