See time, don't calculate it.

Time zones made spatial. Scrub through a visual timeline, see color-coded working hours, and know when it's safe to reach out — without doing the math.

The Problem

Time zones are executive function work

Converting time zones means holding numbers in your head, doing arithmetic, and remembering whether someone is 8 or 9 hours ahead this month.

For people who experience time differently, that math is one more thing competing for limited working memory. Arc replaces the math with color. Green means they're working. Yellow means they're winding down. Gray means they're offline. One gesture, one glance, no calculation.

Features

Color tells you what numbers can't

Visual Time Zones

See multiple time zones at a glance with color-coded working hours. Green means working, yellow means winding down, gray means offline.

Calendar Integration

Your upcoming meetings appear right on the timeline. See how they fit across every zone without switching apps.

People & Places

Attach contacts to time zones for quick reference. Know what time it is for your team, your clients, and your family.

Find a Time

Discover overlapping working hours across zones instantly. No spreadsheets, no mental math — just a visual answer.

Live Activities & Watch

Track meeting times on Dynamic Island, Lock Screen, and Apple Watch. Glance without unlocking.

How It Works

One gesture replaces the math

01

Add your zones

Search for any city or attach a contact. Arc adds their time zone and working hours automatically.

02

Scrub the timeline

Drag across the visual timeline and watch every zone move together. See exactly what time it will be for everyone.

03

See the overlap

Color-coded working hours show when it's safe to reach out. Find meeting windows across any combination of zones.

04

Share with confidence

Send time cards that open to the right time in Arc. No more "wait, is that your time or mine?"
