Yes. tzdiff uses the browser's built-in Intl.DateTimeFormat API with full IANA timezone identifiers (e.g. America/New_York, Europe/London). DST transitions are resolved automatically by the JavaScript runtime — the displayed offset is always the current or scheduled correct offset, not a static UTC+N.

Can I check what time a meeting will be in multiple timezones at once?

Yes. tzdiff lets you set a reference time and displays it across all added timezone columns simultaneously. This is the primary use case — scheduling calls and meetings across remote-team locations.

Does WorldTimeServer.com send my queries to a server?

WorldTimeServer.com is a server-rendered site; each page request is a server round-trip. tzdiff runs entirely in the browser using the JavaScript Intl API — no server call is needed for timezone conversion.

Does tzdiff have a CLI version?

Yes. tzdiff ships a zero-dependency npm package (@v0idd0/tzdiff) that works in Node.js and as a CLI — useful for scripts and shell one-liners that need timezone-aware time comparisons.

FAQ

Is tzdiff DST-aware?

Yes. tzdiff uses the browser's built-in Intl.DateTimeFormat API with full IANA timezone identifiers. DST transitions are resolved by the JavaScript runtime — the displayed offset is always the current or scheduled correct offset, not a hardcoded UTC+N value.

Can I check what time a meeting will be across multiple zones at once?

Yes. Add your zones, set a reference time (e.g. 3 PM UTC), and tzdiff shows the equivalent local time in every zone column simultaneously. This is the primary use case.

Does WorldTimeServer.com require a server call for each lookup?

Yes — it is a traditional server-rendered site. tzdiff does all conversion in the browser via the JavaScript Intl API; no network round-trip is needed after the page loads.

Is there a CLI version of tzdiff?

Yes. npm install @v0idd0/tzdiff installs a zero-dependency module that works in Node.js, Deno, and Bun. Useful for shell one-liners and scripts that need timezone-correct time math.

When should I still use WorldTimeServer.com?

When you need historical DST transition dates for a zone, or when you only know a city name and want to find the IANA identifier. WorldTimeServer's city database is extensive. tzdiff is better for the daily scheduling task of "what time is 3 PM UTC in Tokyo / Berlin / New York?"

Is tzdiff free?

Yes. The web tool and npm package are free and MIT-licensed. An optional $9 Pro license supports the studio building all vøiddo tools.
