Meridian
See the time of day across the world in color
Meridian replaces your Chrome new tab with beautiful full-height gradient columns that shift color based on the time of day in each timezone. Track up to 10 zones at a glance. Dawn peach in Tokyo, midnight navy in New York, golden afternoon in London. All on one screen. Completely free, no accounts, no backend, no ads. Your data stays in your browser.
Hey Product Hunt. I'm Bill, an EP in production who spends half his life coordinating across timezones.
Years ago there was a Chrome extension called Figure It Out (FIO) that turned your new tab into something genuinely beautiful. Full-height color columns that shifted with the time of day in each zone. It won design awards (Kantar Information is Beautiful 2014, Pixel Awards 2015), then killed itself by forcing account creation and paywalling features.
The only replacement that exists (Figured) nails the utility but not the design. So I rebuilt the concept from scratch.
Meridian is:
- Full-height gradient columns that interpolate across 12 color bands at the minute level: deep navy at midnight, dawn violets, morning golds, midday cream, sunset coral, twilight purple
- Up to 10 timezones with autocomplete city search (155+ cities)
Zero accounts, zero backend, zero ads. Vanilla JS/HTML/CSS, sub-50KB, runs entirely in your browser
- Manifest V3 with only the storage permission
I built this because I wanted it to exist again. If you coordinate across timezones and care about what your new tab looks like, give it a shot.
