Offsets take mental math.
Remote teams, gamers arranging a session, friends and digital nomads often need to check several clocks and account for seasonal changes.

WHO WE ARE
Small tools for everyday online life.
Xamantech builds small digital products designed to make useful things easier to do. Internet Time is an independent project that brings Swatch Internet Time into a clean, practical web experience.
There is no account to create. Open the page to see the current beat, convert a local time, compare selected city clocks or share a beat with someone else.
WHY WE BUILT IT
Timezone coordination can be harder than it needs to be.
Agree on one shared beat.
Internet Time gives people a common 1000-beat day, then the city comparison helps translate that moment back into local clock times.
Useful before complicated.
A live clock, a small set of focused tools and no sign-up flow. Start with the moment you need to coordinate.
THE INTERNET TIME IDEA
A decimal alternative to clock time.
Swatch introduced Internet Time in 1998. It divides the day into 1,000 .beats, each lasting 86.4 seconds, referenced to Biel Mean Time (UTC+1).
The reference does not shift for daylight saving time. A local civil time can shift seasonally; the shared beat scale does not.

Independent project: Internet Time is not affiliated with or endorsed by Swatch. A shared link contains a beat snapshot; it does not start a live meeting room or synchronize calendars.
Built to grow carefully.
Translations, calendar or chat integrations, and native mobile experiences are possible directions, not announced commitments. Today, Internet Time is a free, responsive website; it is not a native mobile app and this version does not display ads.
