Working hours overlap
Add the zones your team works in and this returns the exact windows everyone is available, on each person's own clock — and tells you plainly when there are none.

Common team shapes
Computed for a 09:00–18:00 day at the last rebuild. These are structural — they change only when a country changes its rules.
| Team | Shared | On each clock |
|---|---|---|
| London and New York | 4h 0m | London 14:00–18:00 · New York 09:00–13:00 |
| Berlin and Bengaluru | 5h 30m | Berlin 09:00–14:30 · Kolkata 12:30–18:00 |
| New York and Sydney | None | |
| Los Angeles and Mumbai | None | |
| San Francisco, London, and Bengaluru | None |
Common questions
- What counts as working hours?
- The default is 09:00 to 18:00 local time for everyone, and both ends are adjustable. It deliberately treats every zone the same rather than encoding assumptions about which countries start early — a team that actually works 10:00 to 19:00 should say so.
- What if there is no overlap?
- You get told, plus the nearest windows where the most people are inside working hours. Los Angeles and Mumbai share no minute of a 09:00–18:00 day; no arrangement of the grid changes that. The honest options are to widen the day on one side, to alternate who takes the awkward call, or to work asynchronously.
- How does this differ from the meeting planner?
- The planner shows the whole day as a band so you can see the shape of it. This answers the narrower question exactly: which minutes are shared, and what those minutes read as on each person’s clock. Use the planner to explore, use this to decide.
- Does it account for daylight saving?
- Yes, for today. Overlap windows shift by an hour when one side changes its clocks and the other has not yet — which is why the same team can have four shared hours in February and three in March.
