When you schedule a meeting with a colleague who also uses Clockwise, Clockwise will suggest times that work for both of you based on your time zones, Focus Time, and other meeting preferences.

Screens and position of elements may differ on the Android app. Clockwise is a time orchestration platform that helps you spend less time manually managing your calendar. Note: Although Shift is available for both iOS and Android, we tested the iPhone app for this article. Shift for iPhone: $0.99 on the App Store.Since it is designed with teams in mind, Tapmates have released apps for both iOS and Android, each costing just a buck. Using Shift is a joy and I love how easy it is to get started. Shift was designed with the aim to “make scheduling a breeze” and it meets that goal that spectacularly. There’s also a unique ‘shared page’ created for each event with all the details. Shift crafts and sends out a beautiful email will all these details to all participants, who can then add the event to their own calendar. Give the event a name, select which places are participating, the calendar you want to add the event to, and then pick who you want to send the invites to.

You then tap the New Event button at the top right of the screen and Shift will ask you to enter event details. For example, suppose you’re planning to setup a meeting the next day - you use the slider on the main screen to figure out what’s the best time across all your locations. Shift also lets you invite your co-workers or colleagues when you setup an event, and handles the invites for you. With all this functionality, Shift works as a standard time zone converter, but there’s a lot more to it. To reset the slider, simply double-tap on it. The slider does 10-minute increments and as you move it, the corresponding time is displayed for each location. A horizontal slider at the bottom of this screen lets you jump to a specific time in the past or the future. This way, instead of focussing on the places, you can focus on your remote colleagues instead. I like that you can manually assign a custom name to each location in the app. You can add a new place by pulling down on the screen. The main screen in the app displays all the places you want to keep track of, along with the current time at those locations. The app is beautifully designed and does what it’s designed to do really well. Shift has been crafted by the folks at Tapmates, known for apps like Moment for Mac, Cookmate, Dribbblr, Piictu, etc. There have been several apps that have tried to make this easier, and Shift is the newest kid on the block that aims to “make scheduling a breeze”. In today’s connected age, we typically interact with friends, colleagues, co-workers or clients spread across the globe and it becomes very difficult to figure out a time for a quick call or meeting that suits everyone. This is worse when you’re in a non-conventional time zone, like us in India with a 30 minute offset (UTC+05:30) or Nepal, with a 45 minute offset (UTC+05:45). Not only are they difficult to figure out, they also take up much of your time when you’re trying to schedule a call or a meeting.
