Why these widgets exist
Most embeddable clocks on the web are a decade old, wrapped in ads, or heavy enough to drag your page speed down with them. These are the opposite: one small iframe, system fonts, a couple of kilobytes, and nothing phoning home. Put your team's cities in a company wiki, a launch countdown on a landing page, or an event timer in a newsletter web view.
The clock widget stays honest through daylight saving because it reads the live IANA timezone rules rather than a stored offset. The countdown counts to a fixed instant, so a launch at 18:00 your time shows the same remaining seconds to a reader in Tokyo, correctly translated. Both come in light and dark to sit naturally on your page.
If you need something the builder can't do yet, the parameters in the embed URL are plain and readable, and the underlying pages live at /embed/clock and /embed/countdown. Bend them to your needs.
FAQ
What does the embed cost?
Nothing. The only thing a widget carries besides your clock is a small text link back to usebasetime.com.
Will it slow my page down?
No. Each widget is a single tiny page with no fonts, no frameworks and no tracking, and the iframe loads lazily so it never blocks your content.
Is the time correct across daylight saving?
Yes. Clocks read the IANA timezone database through the browser's own Intl engine, so the offset is always current. Countdowns target a fixed instant, so every visitor sees the correct remaining time in their own zone.
Can I customize it further?
You can pick city, 12 or 24 hour clock, title and light or dark style today. Sizes are fixed to keep the embed predictable; more options are planned.
