Its almost the year 2000 and individuals and businesses find themselves in constantly increasing communication with people located all over the globe. Calls approach 5¢/min, email is $15/month, net phones and video conferencing are also so inexpensive that communication to anywhere on earth can now be considered basically free. This communication is part of everyones everyday life. Communication is easy and inexpensive but the tools required to manage this new interconnectedness are hard to find. iClock is a solution created specifically to address this need.

IClock does all this: 
* Gives you a birds eye view of different time zones. 
* Gives you a timezone calculator that finds the best time  to connect up the people in as many timezones as you want. 
* Gives an easily accessible, at a glance view of times/dates  in as many parts of the world as you want. 
* Gives the dial codes for countries around the world. 
* 12 or 24 hour time. 
* More to come (upgrades are free)!

The Problems When we call someone in Kiev, Ukraine from the US we don’t want to wake them up by accident at 3 in the morning, right? What time is it there? A quick glance at iClock before calling will tell you the exact time there and save disturbing their sleep.

International businesses often encounter another problem that of figuring out a good time for the people in 4 different global locations to link up for a chat. The question managers have to deal with is when will all 4 be available, awake, not at lunch or dinner or coffee break or on holiday. This problem alone wastes enormous amounts of time and money and the progress of many a project has been hampered by the unskillful connection of teams globally. iClock’s time calculator can do this instantly.

Using email or phone to communicate with family, friends or business associates often requires knowing the time in both locations. iClock can tell you at a glance.

A pilot who travels between 6 cities regularly wants some way to set his computer clock instantly to local time. iClock can do this in one by just choosing the present location in the iClock menu.

iClock is a work in progress. iClock’s ongoing evolution will be spurred by what you desire. All upgrades to iClock are free and we invite and request all registered users to stay in touch and tell us what they want to see next in this tool for global integration.
