Friendly Time Zones
Last updated: February 26, 2026
TL;DR: To make GoodTime more accessible to all users we employ 'Friendly' time zones throughout the product. Friendly time zones intentionally reference CITY names as opposed to time zone acronyms. This is done to avoid the issue of overlapping time zone acronyms (yes, sometimes the same time zone acronym is used for disparate locations) as well as to avoid confusion when some time zone acronyms change as a location observes daylight savings time.
The table below indicates the full list of friendly time zone labels you will find used within GoodTime.
