Everything you need to know about scheduling meetings across timezones with BridgeTime
BridgeTime makes scheduling across timezones simple. Create a session, share one link, and team members add their availability and timezone. Our algorithm finds the best meeting times that work for everyone.
No! That's one of our core features. Just share a link and participants can add their availability without any signup process. This removes friction and gets everyone scheduling faster.
Yes! BridgeTime is built as a free tool for global teams. As a one-person project, we focus on solving the core scheduling problem without complicated pricing tiers.
We support virtually everything: city names (New York, London), timezone codes (EST, PST, UTC+2), country names, and even common abbreviations. Our search handles typos and finds what you're looking for.
Each participant sets their available hours (like 9 AM - 6 PM in their timezone). BridgeTime calculates overlaps and suggests times that respect everyone's work-life boundaries.
Currently BridgeTime focuses on one-time meeting coordination. Once you find the perfect time, you can export to calendar apps for setting up recurring meetings in your preferred tool.
BridgeTime shows 'stretch times' where most people can meet, and highlights who would need to be flexible. This helps you make informed decisions about timing or meeting necessity.
Yes! Participants can return to the session link and update their availability anytime. Changes sync in real-time so everyone sees the latest scheduling options.
We use official timezone databases and handle daylight saving time transitions automatically. Our calculations account for historical and future timezone changes to ensure accuracy.
Absolutely! BridgeTime generates shareable summaries with participant details, selected times, and calendar export options. Perfect for confirming details with your team.
BridgeTime handles large teams well! The interface scales to show all participants clearly, and our algorithms find optimal times even with many constraints. For huge teams (20+), consider breaking into smaller groups.
Absolutely. We don't track you across websites, sell your data, or use invasive analytics. Meeting data expires automatically and we only collect what's necessary for the scheduling functionality.
Sessions automatically expire 7 days after the meeting date for past meetings, or 30 days for abandoned sessions. Future meetings don't expire until they occur. This helps maintain privacy and data cleanliness.
Our search covers 200+ timezones and thousands of cities. Try variations like the country name, major nearby city, or timezone code (like EST). If you're still stuck, the feedback button helps us improve our coverage.
BridgeTime works on all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). We're built with web standards and don't require any plugins or special software.
We're here to help! BridgeTime is built by a real person who cares about solving your timezone scheduling challenges.
