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. Every location becomes part of a continuous color landscape that reflects its local time of day—from pale daylight and warm afternoon amber to sunset coral and deep midnight navy. Adjacent time zones blend seamlessly, giving you an immediate sense of where the world is in its day. Meridian is also built for planning. Travel up to 48 hours into the future, compare local dates and times, configure working hours, and find the next shared availability window across your selected locations. FEATURES - Seamless time-of-day gradients that update throughout the day - 599 cities across 415 IANA time zones - Fast, localized city and time-zone search - Time travel up to 48 hours ahead in 15-minute increments - Shared availability based on configurable working or waking hours - Home-relative time differences and contextual UTC/DST details - Drag-and-drop and keyboard clock reordering - Multiple cities grouped within the same time zone - Named presets for work, family, travel, and other arrangements - 12-hour or 24-hour time with optional seconds - Standard and compact display densities - Optional solar-aware gradients based on local sunrise and sunset - English, French, Spanish, and Argentine Spanish localization - Optional Chrome Sync and portable JSON backups - Keyboard shortcuts, reduced-motion support, and accessible controls - Works completely offline PRIVACY Meridian runs entirely in your browser.
