Getting Started

Welcome to CheckTime! This guide will help you understand how to use our service to manage global time zones and view city information.

  1. Enter a city name in the search bar, such as "Tokyo", "New York" or "London"
  2. Select the city you want to view from the search results
  3. View the current time, weather, and business hours status for that city

Understanding Business Hours: CheckTime displays business hours status by considering two key factors: the standard working hours (Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM local time) and the local holidays of each city. This helps you quickly determine if businesses in a city are likely to be operating at the current time.

The business hours indicator will show one of these statuses:

  1. Open: The current time is within business hours (9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) AND it's not a local holiday
  2. Closed: The current time is outside business hours, it's a weekend, OR it's a public holiday

In future updates, we plan to introduce customizable business hours for specific cities, allowing for more accurate regional business time displays.
