Meridian

A beautiful world clock new tab for seeing, planning, and connecting across time zones.

Meridian turns your new tab into a beautiful, practical view of time around the world. Each clock sits on a color that matches its local time of day, from pale daylight and warm afternoon amber to sunset coral and deep midnight navy. At sunrise and sunset, a warm glow appears along the bottom of the screen, and faint stars appear above clocks where it is night. Neighboring time zones blend into each other without hard edges, so you can see at a glance which places are in daylight, evening, or night. Meridian is also built for planning. Move every clock up to 48 hours ahead on a timeline that shows day and night at your home location, compare local dates and times, set each location's working hours and days, and jump straight to the next time everyone is available. FEATURES - Continuous time-of-day gradients, with a warm glow at sunrise and sunset and stars at night - 599 cities across 415 IANA time zones - Fast, localized search by city, country, time zone, or abbreviation such as IST or CET, showing each result's local time and a color swatch for its time of day, with suggestions before you type - Time travel up to 48 hours ahead in quarter-hour steps, on a timeline that shows day, night, and each midnight - Shared availability from working hours and days you set by dragging on a 24-hour bar, with every overlap marked on the timeline and a one-click jump to the next one - Home-relative time differences, with UTC offset and upcoming daylight-saving changes on hover - Drag-and-drop and keyboard clock reordering - Multiple cities grouped within the same time zone - Named presets for work, family, travel, and other arrangements, switchable with one click or the 1–9 keys - 12-hour or 24-hour time with optional seconds - Standard and compact display densities - Optional solar-aware gradients based on local sunrise and sunset - A tab icon and title that show your home location's current color and time - English, French, Spanish, and Argentine Spanish localization, with regional date and time formats - Optional Chrome Sync across your browsers and portable JSON backups - Keyboard shortcuts, reduced-motion support, and accessible controls - Works completely offline PRIVACY Meridian runs entirely in your browser. Your configuration is stored locally by default using chrome.storage. Chrome Sync is optional and uses your browser’s built-in synced storage; switching back to local-only removes Meridian’s synced data. Meridian does not collect, transmit, sell, or share personal data. No analytics. No tracking. No advertising. No application servers. No location permission. No runtime network requests. Fonts, city data, translations, and time-zone information are bundled with the extension. CREDITS Inspired by Figure It Out (https://www.producthunt.com/products/fio-figure-it-out-for-chrome).
