Multi-Timezone Meeting Planner & Overlap Guide

Coordinate remote meetings across global time zones with working-hour heatmaps and calendar exports.

Overview

The Multi-Timezone Meeting Planner provides an interactive 24-hour visual grid to schedule international meetings. It evaluates core business hours, shoulder periods, and off-hours for each participant, handles half-hour offset zones (e.g. IST +05:30, ACST +09:30), computes team overlap scores, highlights day rollovers (+1 / -1 day), and exports invitations as formatted text or RFC 5545 iCalendar (.ics) files.

Selected Slot: 14:00 UTC (45 min)
• San Francisco: 06:00 AM (Early Shoulder)
• London: 02:00 PM (Working Hours)
• Dhaka: 08:00 PM (Evening Shoulder)

The planner identifies 14:00 - 16:00 UTC as the highest-scoring window where zero attendees are asleep and all are within waking or working hours.

Timezone Precision & Half-Hour Support
  • 30-Minute Resolution: Full support for half-hour and 45-minute offset zones such as India (IST +05:30) and Nepal (NPT +05:45).
  • Day Rollover Accuracy: Clear "+1 day" and "-1 day" tags for attendees whose local time crosses midnight.
  • Keyboard Accessible: Use Arrow keys to navigate time slots, Enter to select, and Home/End to jump to start/end of day.
Zero Server Storage
  • 100% In-Browser Memory: Meeting times, attendee names, and custom team setups exist solely in active browser RAM.
  • No Cloud Tracking: Draftsbook never logs participant locations or transmits calendar events to external servers.
