World Clock for Notion: Track Multiple Time Zones in Your Workspace

June 13, 2026

The best world clock for Notion is Blocs – a free embeddable widget that displays live time directly inside your Notion pages. It's built for remote teams, freelancers working across time zones, and anyone who needs ambient time awareness without leaving their workspace. You paste one URL, and the clock appears inline. No integrations, no extra apps.

  • Blocs Clock widget embeds in Notion as an iframe – no account required for basic use
  • Pro plan is a one-time $17 payment (not a subscription), giving access to flip clock styles and full customization
  • Notion has no native clock or world time feature – embeds are the only way to add live clocks

Key Takeaways

  • Blocs offers a Clock & Timer widget that embeds directly into any Notion page as a live clock
  • You can display multiple time zones by embedding the widget multiple times, each labeled for a different city
  • The embed takes under 60 seconds to set up – copy a URL, paste it as an embed block in Notion
  • Pro ($17 one-time) unlocks flip clock mode, theme customization, and additional display options
  • No sign-up is needed to try it – just embed and go

Why You Need a World Clock in Notion

If your work involves coordinating across cities – London, New York, Singapore, Sydney – you've probably opened a separate tab or asked a voice assistant what time it is somewhere else. That friction adds up. A world clock embedded directly in your Notion workspace means the answer is always one glance away, right next to your task lists, meeting notes, and project boards.

Notion doesn't include a native clock feature. Everything is document-based and static. The only way to add live, real-time information like a clock is through embeds. That's exactly what Blocs is built for: small, functional widgets that live inside your Notion pages without requiring you to install anything or sign up for another service.

How to Add a World Clock to Notion with Blocs

Step 1: Get the widget URL

Go to blocs.me/clock-widget and copy the embed URL for the Clock widget. The path is https://blocs.me/clock.

Step 2: Open your Notion page

Navigate to the Notion page where you want the clock to appear. This could be a team hub, a daily planning page, or a project workspace.

Step 3: Add an embed block

Type /embed in Notion to insert an embed block. Paste the Blocs clock URL into the field and press enter. The live clock will appear inline on the page.

Step 4: Duplicate for multiple time zones

To display a world clock showing several cities at once, duplicate the embed block and add each one to a Notion column. Label each block (e.g., "New York", "London", "Tokyo") using a Notion text block above it. This gives you a clean multi-time-zone view without any extra tooling.

What the Blocs Clock Widget Includes

The Blocs Clock & Timer widget is a Pro feature, meaning it's available with the one-time $17 Blocs Pro plan. Here's what you get:

Blocs vs. Other Ways to Add a Clock in Notion

There are a few approaches people try. Here's how they compare:

MethodWorks in NotionLive / Real-timeCostEffort

The key difference with Blocs is the pricing model. Competing widget services like Indify charge monthly or annually. Blocs is a single $17 purchase – permanent access, no renewals. For anyone who uses Notion as their primary workspace, that's a straightforward call.

Use Cases: Who Actually Needs a World Clock in Notion

  • Remote teams – Keep a team hub page updated with clocks for each teammate's time zone. No more "what time is it for you?" messages.
  • Freelancers with international clients – Embed clocks for your main client cities on your daily planning page so scheduling calls is instant.
  • Startup founders – If you're coordinating across investors, contractors, and co-founders in different regions, a glanceable clock saves real time.
  • Students studying abroad or doing global research – Track deadlines and submission windows across time zones without switching apps.
  • Digital nomads – Know the time back home and at your current location without touching your phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Notion have a built-in world clock?

No. Notion doesn't include any native clock or time zone display. The only way to add a live clock is through an embed, which is where tools like Blocs come in.

Can I show multiple time zones in Notion?

Yes. Embed the Blocs Clock widget multiple times on the same page, placing each in a separate Notion column. Label each one with a city name using a text block. You get a clean world clock layout inside your Notion page.

Is the Blocs Clock widget free?

The Clock widget is part of Blocs Pro, which costs $17 as a one-time payment. That also gives you every other Pro widget (Countdown Timer, Progress Bar, Calendar, Quote of the Day, Weather). There's no monthly fee.

Does the clock update in real time inside Notion?

Yes. Because the widget loads as an iframe, it runs as a live web app inside your Notion page. The time updates continuously as long as the page is open.

Will the clock work on Notion mobile?

Notion supports embeds on both desktop and mobile. The Blocs widget renders in the embed block, so it's visible on any device where you access your Notion workspace.

Do I need a Blocs account to embed the clock?

For Pro widgets including the clock, you'll need a Blocs account. Sign up at blocs.me/sign-in and your settings sync across devices automatically.
