A Google Sheet which interactively visualises your remote team members' timezones and availability. Its highly visual design is perfect for checking "at-a-glance" who is available, what time it is in their world, to align on meetings and deadlines.
If you’re like me and you work on remote teams, you know juggling timezone differences is hard.
Not just understanding when folks are supposed to be online, but in what context; is it a reasonable hour, are they missing an evening with their family, maybe they’re up outrageously early or late to align with a stand-up – or maybe they should be working but you suspect they’re not?
And keeping yourself accountable can be difficult too; it can be easy to fudge starting or finishing on time, or miss connecting with someone because you didn’t understand the overlap.
So after a few years of working on remote teams, I've decided to share my timezone planner, which is now in its third iteration.
I've spent a lot of time perfecting the formulas, scripting and most of all the conditional formatting so it not only works great but looks beautiful too. And because it's just a spreadsheet, means you can add your own customisations such as columns, links, grouping, filtering on top.
This sheet will help you to:
- understand who is working and when
- modify your day to align or overlap with others
- work out the best time to schedule meetings
- keep on top of your co-workers or employees
It's a one-time purchase, at a very reasonble $20!

You can buy it once, keep it open in a browser tab, and get the entire team on the same page 🚀
I've also made available my new Flexible Timesheet (with Invoicing!) for FREE!
This sheet will help you to:
- track time by the hour, half and quarter hours
- track total hours and total billed for each month
- output detailed information in an invoice-friendly format

congrats on the launch, dave! timezone planner seems like a useful tool for remote teams dealing with different time zones. i can imagine how much smoother team coordination can be with this spreadsheet. have you considered integrating any automation features in future versions to streamline the process even more?
@mashy automation isn't really needed in this case; the sheet's formulas do all the hard work! All you have to do is add your team and their times, update your timezone in the Settings sheet, and the formulas and conditional formatting takes care of everything 🔥
