Best meeting slots
No time works for everyone on this day — the slots below are the fairest tradeoffs. Try another date or widening someone's hours.
Local timelines — Fri, Jul 31
Each row is one person's 24h day, aligned to the same instants. Times are labelled in each person's own timezone.
Example: Shanghai and San Francisco
Ranked for Friday, 31 July 2026, assuming each person is available 9:00–17:00 in their own local time. Change the date or the hours in the planner above and the ranking updates live.
There is no window where every person is inside their working hours. Someone has to move. The slots below are ranked by how small and how evenly shared that compromise is.
