Converting Your Time to Beats

Turn a regular clock time into a decimal beat in a few steps.

2

Enter your local time

Choose a time in the timezone set on your device. Select Use current time to fill in your current local hour and minute.

3

Read or copy the result

The .beat value updates when you change the time. Use the copy button beside it to copy the converted value.

A TIMEZONE-AWARE EXAMPLE

12:00 PM in New York

The result depends on the date, because New York changes between standard and daylight time.

EST · UTC−5@750.00EDT · UTC−4@708.33

The home converter uses your device’s timezone. These New York examples are calculated for New York’s stated UTC offset, not as a city selector in the converter.

THE BEAT FORMULA
beats = ((UTC seconds + 3600) % 86400) / 86.4

UTC+1 is Biel Mean Time. It stays fixed year-round and does not switch for daylight saving time.

Global Timezone Tracker

Check what the same moment looks like on clocks in different cities.

Use the map and comparison

  1. Open Time tools on the home page and choose World map.
  2. Select a map marker or a city in the list to highlight it and read its current local time.
  3. Open Compare and use Add a city… to add or remove cities from your comparison.

City clocks use their IANA timezone, so seasonal daylight-saving changes are taken into account. The Internet Time beat remains the same worldwide.

03 / COORDINATE

Meet Friends in Internet Time

Use a shared beat as a common reference, then check what time it is for each person.

01

Compare locations

Add the relevant cities in the Compare tab, or select them on the map.

02

Agree on a beat

Choose a beat such as @342.50. Everyone sees the same Internet Time value.

03

Share the moment

Copy a link or share it through a social app. Include the calendar date when planning ahead.

Good to know: Internet Time gives everyone one shared beat scale, but this app does not create a live meeting room, calendar invite, or shared session. A shared link contains a beat snapshot; the live clock continues to advance.

04 / REMIND

Alarms in Internet Time

Set one or more reminders for beats that repeat every Biel Mean Time day.

  1. Open Time tools → Beat alarms.
  2. Enter a beat from 0 to 999.99. Add a reminder name if you like.
  3. Select Set reminder. Repeat to create additional alarms.
  4. Optionally enable browser notifications and grant permission when asked.
05 / SHARE

Share Your Time Sync

Let someone else see the beat you’re sharing.

There is no embeddable clock widget at the moment. To share Internet Time on another site, share a link to the converter.

FAQ

Common questions

What if I want to schedule something in local time?

Use Compare or the map to check the city clocks for your chosen beat. Share both the beat and the calendar date, since the 1000-beat cycle starts over each day.

Can I use this for meetings?

Yes. Agree on a beat, then check the corresponding local times for each city. The app does not create meeting invitations or synchronize calendars.

Does Internet Time work on mobile?

Yes. The responsive website works in a mobile browser. It is a web app, not a native mobile app.

How do I share with someone in another country?

Copy the link or choose Facebook, WhatsApp or X. The link carries a beat snapshot, and the recipient’s live clock continues from their visit.

Can I set multiple alarms?

Yes. Add multiple beat reminders in the Beat Alarms tab. They are stored in your browser and repeat daily on the BMT cycle.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Something look off?

The conversion doesn’t match my clock

Check that your device’s timezone and date are correct. The converter interprets its input in that local timezone; BMT itself is fixed at UTC+1.

A friend’s local time looks different

That’s expected: local clocks differ by timezone, while the .beat for the same instant is universal. Check that you are comparing the same beat and date.
