Meridian

Meridian turns your new tab into a beautiful, practical view of time around the world. Every location becomes part of a continuous color landscape that reflects its local time of day—from pale daylight and warm afternoon amber to sunset coral and deep midnight navy. Adjacent time zones blend seamlessly, giving you an immediate sense of where the world is in its day. Meridian is also built for planning. Travel up to 48 hours into the future, compare local dates and times, set each location's working hours and days, and jump straight to the next shared availability window. FEATURES - Seamless time-of-day gradients that update throughout the day - 599 cities across 415 IANA time zones - Fast, localized search by city, country, time zone, or abbreviation such as IST or CET, showing each result's local time - Time travel up to 48 hours ahead in quarter-hour steps, with day markers on the timeline - Shared availability from configurable working hours and working days, with a one-click jump to the next overlap - Home-relative time differences and contextual UTC/DST details - Drag-and-drop and keyboard clock reordering - Multiple cities grouped within the same time zone - Named presets for work, family, travel, and other arrangements - 12-hour or 24-hour time with optional seconds - Standard and compact display densities - Optional solar-aware gradients based on local sunrise and sunset - English, French, Spanish, and Argentine Spanish localization, with regional date and time formats - Optional Chrome Sync across your browsers and portable JSON backups - Keyboard shortcuts, reduced-motion support, and accessible controls - Works completely offline PRIVACY Meridian runs entirely in your browser. Your configuration is stored locally by default using chrome.storage. Chrome Sync is optional and uses your browser’s built-in synced storage; switching back to local-only removes Meridian’s synced data. Meridian does not collect, transmit, sell, or share personal data. No analytics. No tracking. No advertising. No application servers. No location permission. No runtime network requests. Fonts, city data, translations, and time-zone information are bundled with the extension. CREDITS Inspired by Figure It Out (https://www.producthunt.com/products/fio-figure-it-out-for-chrome).
