Practical guides on time zones, daylight saving, and working across the world
Daylight Saving

GMT vs UTC: What's the Difference and Does It Actually Matter?
For everyday use, GMT and UTC mean the same thing. But they're measured differently — one tracks the sun, the other atomic clocks — and knowing which is which helps when you encounter them in software, aviation, or science.
About these guides
ZoneKit's blog covers the practical side of working with time zones — the scheduling mistakes that catch people out, the things about daylight saving time that most tools don't explain, and the questions that come up repeatedly when teams are spread across different countries.
All four ZoneKit tools are free and run entirely in your browser: the World Clock for keeping an eye on multiple cities at once, the Meeting Planner for finding overlap windows across time zones, the Time Zone Converter for one-off calculations, and the Countdown Timer for shared deadlines that show correctly in any time zone.
