Why Goldhour

Built for people who schedule meetings, not spreadsheets.

/ 01

Golden hour detection

A live overlap engine paints every slot where all of your cities sit inside working hours — for the full duration of your meeting, not just the start minute.

/ 02

Find best time

One click scans all 1,440 UTC minutes, finds the longest golden window and jumps the cursor to its midpoint. Your spreadsheet can retire.

/ 03

Shareable links

Every roster and proposed time fits in a URL. Hit Share, paste it in the channel, and your teammates open the exact same view you see — without any account.

/ 04

Copy-ready formats

Slack markdown, Teams bold and plain text. Each line shows the teammate's local time, day, timezone abbreviation, and a flag if they'd be sleeping or on an edge hour.

/ 05

Sub-500ms paint

No bloated SDKs. Critical CSS inlined, fonts preconnected, scripts deferred. Interactive before the wireframe globe finishes its first rotation.

/ 06

Private by design

Your roster lives in your browser. No accounts, no tracking, no cookies beyond your theme preference. See the privacy page for the full list.

Questions, answered

The small print, without the small print.

What counts as a Golden Hour? +

Any hour where every city on your roster sits inside its working window for the full duration of your meeting. Goldhour uses a 9-to-5 default and checks both the start and end of the meeting, so a 90-minute meeting starting at 4:30pm will only count as golden if everyone is still at their desk at 6:00pm.

Is Goldhour really free? +

Yes. Goldhour is built and maintained by MeetingBurn. The core planner will always be free. A future Pro tier will add saved rosters, calendar sync and team sharing for teams that want more than localStorage.

Does it work offline? +

After the first visit, yes. All timezone math uses the native browser Intl API, so no server round trip is needed to convert a time.

What about daylight saving? +

Handled automatically. Every city is stored as an IANA timezone (Europe/London, Asia/Kolkata, etc.), so clocks spring forward and fall back without you lifting a finger.

Can I suggest a city? +

Absolutely — write to themeetingburn@gmail.com. Goldhour ships with 72 curated cities and we add more whenever someone asks for one we missed.

What is MeetingBurn? +

MeetingBurn is a small studio publishing opinionated tools for remote teams. Goldhour is our first. You can read the full story on the about page.
