How to use

How to use AlignHour

Book a meeting in your client's time, see everyone's local time, and never miss one. Each step takes a few seconds.

AlignHour comes two ways, with the same account: the web app (phone and laptop, at app.alignhour.com) and the Chrome extension (on your computer). Want to try first without signing in? Book a demo meeting.

Web app (phone and laptop)

  1. Sign in

    Open app.alignhour.com and press Continue with Google. Tick "calendar" when Google asks, so AlignHour can send invites from your own calendar. On a phone, choose "Add to Home screen" to use it like an app.

  2. Home: your next meeting and the clocks

    The top row shows the time now for you and your clients. Right-click a clock (or press and hold on a phone) to change, add or remove one. Press Turn on to get a notification 10 minutes before each meeting, with a Join button.

    AlignHour web app home: clocks at the top, Book a meeting button, turn on notifications, and the next meeting in your time and theirs

  3. Book a meeting: who

    Press Book a meeting and pick a client or team. To invite someone new, type their email and press Enter (or a comma). Tap a person to change their name or city, or press × if they aren't joining this time.

  4. Book a meeting: when

    Pick a day, then one of the best times. Each card shows the time for every person, and green means it fits everyone's working hours. Switch between your clock and theirs at any time; your choice stays selected.

    Choosing when: days across the top and time cards showing each person's local time and whether it fits everyone

  5. Or type an exact time

    Got a time from your client, like "Friday 10 am my time"? Press Type an exact time, choose whose time it is, and type it. Right under it you see everyone's own time and who is outside their working hours. If it clashes with another meeting, AlignHour warns you first.

    Exact time: your time and their time side by side, each person's local time, and Fits 2 of 2 people's working hours

  6. Send the invite

    Add an agenda and choose your reminders (several if you like: 5 or 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, or your own). Press Send invite. The invite goes from your Google Calendar with a Google Meet link, and every guest sees it in their own time.

  7. After the meeting: mark how it went

    Meetings move from Upcoming to Past on their own when they end. Open one to mark it Successful, Follow-up needed or No-show, add tags and notes, or plan the next meeting. Filters show your results by week, month or all time.

    Past meetings with results such as Successful and Not reviewed, filters by time and result

  8. Your settings

    Tap your initial (top right) for your working hours, light or dark look, 12-hour or 24-hour time, and notifications on each device.

Chrome extension (on your computer)

  1. Install it

    Add AlignHour from the Chrome Web Store, then click the puzzle icon in Chrome and pin AlignHour so it's one click away. Click Connect Google to send invites and back up your meetings.

  2. Book in their time

    Under New meeting, pick a saved client (or type a new one), then the date and time on their clock. Under the time, "At that time, for everyone" shows each person's own time and if it's inside their working hours. Press Save meeting; if it overlaps another meeting, you'll get a warning first.

    AlignHour extension: the meeting time on the client's clock, and under it each person's own time with In working hours or Outside working hours

  3. Upcoming and Past

    The middle column lists your meetings. When one ends it moves to Past by itself; mark it Completed, Missed or Cancelled in one click.

    AlignHour extension Past tab: a past meeting with Completed, Missed and Cancelled buttons

  4. Notifications and settings

    You get a notification on your computer 10 minutes before each meeting, with a Join button. Switch it off any time in Settings → Notifications. The top bar also has Compare (two cities hour by hour), 12-hour or 24-hour time, and zoom.
