What is WhatTime.to?

A public page that tells anyone whether now is a good moment to reach you, in their timezone and yours.

What is WhatTime.to?

Know when to reach out.

WhatTime.to gives you a public page, something like whattime.to/talk/maya, that shows your current local time, whether now is a good moment to contact you, and when your next good moment starts. Every time appears twice: once in your timezone, once in the visitor's.

It is the anti-scheduler. No booking, no meeting slots, no calendar access. It answers one question, "is now a good moment to reach this person?", and then gets out of the way. The actual conversation still happens wherever you already talk: Discord, iMessage, email, a phone call.

How it works

  1. You write down a weekly schedule
    Recurring windows in your own local time, like Monday to Friday, 10
    to 20
    .
  2. You share your link
    Put it in a bio, a Discord status, an email signature, or a chat message.
  3. A visitor gets an answer
    The page compares your schedule to right now, in both time zones, and refreshes every minute.

The answers a page can give

HeadlineWhat it means
Now is a good time to talkYou are inside an availability window right now.
Available soonYour next window starts within the next 90 minutes.
It may be better to waitYou are outside your windows. The page shows when the next one starts.
Probably asleepYou are unavailable and it is between 22
and 07
where you are.
No availability sharedYou have not set any windows yet. Your local time is still shown.

Underneath the headline, the page spells the next window out in plain language, for example "free tomorrow at 10

AM, which is 4
PM your time".

What it is not

  • Not a booking tool. Visitors cannot claim a slot or put anything on your calendar.
  • Not connected to your calendar. WhatTime.to never reads Google Calendar, Outlook, or anything else. The schedule is what you typed in, and nothing more.
  • Not a presence tracker. It reflects your stated intent, not whether your mouse moved.
