Is there a free meeting planner that doesn't require an account?

Yes. TimezoneLink's meeting planner shows business hours overlap across 246 cities worldwide with no account required, no advertising, and no tracking. Export a .ics calendar invite or share a link in one click.

What is the difference between TimezoneLink and Calendly for scheduling across time zones?

Calendly is a meeting booking tool that requires an account. TimezoneLink is a timezone-first meeting planner with no account requirement — it shows business hours overlap and generates .ics invites, but does not manage booking links or availability calendars.

Can I use TimezoneLink's meeting planner without creating an account?

Yes. The meeting planner is fully functional without an account. Add cities, see the overlap, export .ics, and share — entirely without signup.

Does TimezoneLink's meeting planner support African cities?

Yes. The planner covers 246 cities including Kampala, Nairobi, Lagos, Accra, Cairo, Johannesburg, Dar es Salaam, Addis Ababa, Dakar, Lusaka, and many others that most timezone tools cover only thinly.

Free Meeting Planner Across Time Zones (No Signup, No Ads)

TimezoneLink's meeting planner finds the best time for a group meeting across multiple time zones with no account required, no advertising, and no data sent to any server. Enter your cities, see the business hours overlap instantly, and export a .ics calendar invite with one click.

What makes this different from Calendly, Doodle, and When2Meet

Calendly requires the meeting organiser to have an account. Invitees must either have an account or book via a Calendly-hosted page that tracks their engagement. It is a meeting booking tool, not a timezone converter.

Doodle requires an account for persistent polls. The free tier includes advertising. Doodle is built for scheduling availability polls, not for seeing live business hours overlap across time zones.

When2Meet requires no account and serves no ads — but it is limited to a grid availability tool. It cannot tell you the current time in Lagos, convert a New York time to Dubai, or calculate whether a proposed meeting time falls within business hours in Nairobi.

TimezoneLink's meeting planner is a pure timezone-first tool. It shows the current time in every selected city, marks working hours as a visual overlap band, flags weekends and DST transitions automatically, and generates a shareable link that shows each recipient the meeting time in their own local timezone. No account on either side.

How it works

Add your cities — select from 246 cities worldwide, including Kampala, Dar es Salaam, Accra, and other African cities that competitors list only thinly.
See the overlap — a visual grid shows which hours are within business hours for all cities simultaneously. Greyed-out hours are outside working hours or overnight.
Pick your time — click any slot in the overlap band.
Export or share — download a .ics file for Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar. Or copy a shareable link that each recipient sees in their own local time.

No login. No email address. No tracking.

Business hours the planner recognises

The meeting planner uses standard business hours (9:00–17:00 local time) as the default working window for all cities. For cities with notably different working cultures, this can be adjusted manually:

Lagos and Nigerian cities: 8:00–17:00 WAT (some offices 8:00–16:00)
Dubai and UAE: 9:00–18:00 GST, Sunday–Thursday working week
Nairobi: 8:00–17:00 EAT
Cairo and North Africa: 9:00–17:00 EET, with Friday as the weekend day

The planner does not yet automatically apply country-specific working week patterns (Sunday–Thursday vs Monday–Friday) — this is a known limitation. For UAE, Saudi Arabia, or other Sunday–Thursday markets, manually verify the overlap against the working week pattern in those cities.

Who uses this

Distributed startup teams coordinating across London, Lagos, and Nairobi. International NGO and development organisations with field offices in East Africa and headquarters in Europe or North America. Nigerian, Kenyan, and Ghanaian diaspora communities scheduling family calls. Journalists coordinating interview times with sources across Africa. Traders and investors working across London, New York, Dubai, and African market hours.

None of these users should need an account to find out when to schedule a call.
