Klok — A quick and handy time zone converter widget for iOS

Featured

When you live across the world, finding a time to talk – whether it’s about work, the weather or the weekend – can be a logistical challenge. We wanted to find a way to take the hassle out of figuring out time zones and constantly calculating time differences.

Congrats on the launch @honcheng & @mkjlw 😄 What's your vision for this product? What kind of features can we expect in the near and longer-term future?
Mark Law
@pieterpaul Thanks!! We have a lot of ideas at the moment but we’ll be careful not to add too much too quickly. The new update will have improvements and a small feature update ;)
honcheng
@pieterpaul thanks!
Ouriel Ohayon
love it. i must have/have tried most of the best apps to do this (including timebuddy) but this may be the most convenient to use on the go

This is so super simple, but something I would have killed for years ago when I was doing journalism full-time and need to keep up with contacts around the world. Even more useful now, great design.

This looks and works great! Definitely a keeper :) only thing I noticed weird ( maybe there's a good reason for it), Amsterdam is shortened as "ATD" instead of the usual "AMS", not to be confused with "ADT" (Atlantic daytime)!
Mark Law
@adrianleb Thanks we'll look into this.

@mkjlw @adrianleb I think what would be awesome is if users were able to input their own three-letter abbreviation. The chosen ones for Madrid (MDR) and Chicago (CCG) seem a bit strange.

Super cool design and works smoothly. Kudos to the team members. I already suggested this app to my co-workers
Mark Law
@rizzu26 Thanks so much! Glad you like it!!
Shalabh
Love the design. Reminds me of the TimeSroller dashboard widget. Finally I have something similar for iPhone. Thanks :-)
Mark Law
@shalabh_ Thanks! Glad you like it :)
Alberto Perdomo
Hey! Really nice widget/app!! Love it! Madrid is shortened as MDR which is confusing. Usually it's shortened as MAD (also airport code for Madrid). Any chance you could incorporate this change in a future release? @mkjlw @honcheng
Pierre Vannier
Nice little app. With the iphone 5 screen the analogue and digital clocks are a little small in my opinion (but maybe you had design constraints here). Well done though and very useful. This should have been an ios feature.
Kien Tran
Really like the app icon and the widget design, especially when the iOS World Clock doesn't have a widget (yet).
honcheng
@thkeen love the icon
Roy Dequina
This rocks! World Clock on iPhone is fine but this took it to another level! As a startup with various teams working all over the world, it was a constant struggle trying to figure out everybody's time. So conveniently accessible too! Thank you @honcheng for creating this.

Perth, Australia is wrong. It is showing up as UTC+10 (AEST), same as Sydney. It is actually UTC+8 (AWST), 2 hours earlier.
Florian Simmendinger
This looks fantastic! I previously used an excel sheet where I could enter the time but this is so much faster and easier. Thumbs up.
Mark Law
@simmenfl Thanks!! This should work a lot better for you ;)
Raviraj Minawala
Great idea and design! I work on widgets too, recently posted on PH. A widget to send your most frequent messages (without the typing) http://www.producthunt.com/tech/... and a widget to dial and add phone numbers from anywhere http://www.producthunt.com/tech/...

Have been using it for a while! A lifesaver for someone juggling around different time zones for personal & professional commitments. Totally recommended for functionality in minimal design!
Nikita
Great Product. Are you going to make something similar for Mac OS X?
Martin Kessler
Thanks. Time zones have been driving me crazy for ages. What inspired you to build this widget?
Nav Pawera
@kesslerio clients in different time zones and also a bunch of us here in the office are expats with friends/family all over the globe :-)
Boris Pfeiffer
Great app.. I would love to get this on my Mac as an app or widget...
Mark Law
@bopfger Thanks! You're not the first person to say that. Definitely food for thought ;)
Divraj
Great app , anyone come across any awesome web app or extension that does the job ?
Jorik
Anyone else thought 'Beats by Dre' built it? ;). Miranda out – Klok in.
Nick Zieber
I have been wanting something like this. Looks great!
