Features


Plan Across Time

Move every clock, local date, relative offset, and gradient up to 48 hours into the future. Meridian makes it easy to answer “what time will that be for everyone?” without opening a calendar or translating offsets in your head.

Set working or waking hours for the people that matter, then find the next shared window across the selected locations. Presets keep separate arrangements for work, family, and travel one click away.


How It Works

Each selected time zone contributes colors based on its local time. Browser-native gradients blend those colors across one high-resolution canvas, with subtle dithering to keep transitions smooth and free of visible bands or column edges.

Text automatically switches between light and dark using WCAG-aware contrast calculations. Local dates, offsets, gradients, and availability all respond to the same selected moment, so the interface remains coherent while planning ahead.

Meridian includes its fonts, city search data, translations, and time-zone coordinates. It works instantly and completely offline. Inspired by Figure It Out.


Privacy

Meridian runs entirely in your browser. Your configuration is stored locally by default using Chrome's storage API. Optional Chrome Sync uses your browser's built-in synced storage, and JSON export/import provides an account-independent backup.

The extension has no analytics, tracking, advertising, application servers, location permission, or runtime network requests. It does not collect, sell, transmit, or share personal data.

The extension requires a single permission:
