Time Zone Widget for iPhone - World Clock at a Glance
What is a Time Zone Widget?
A time zone widget puts multiple world clocks on your iPhone home screen so you can see local time across cities instantly. It’s essential for remote teams, freelancers, and anyone coordinating across regions.
With customizable layouts and themes, you can pin your most important cities, choose 12/24‑hour format, and quickly compare time differences without opening a separate app.
Add it to your smart stack to swipe between clocks and keep your workday aligned with partners and clients globally.
