Karen's Zone Manager

Karen's Zone Manager is a utility that facilitates a user-friendly interface and options for managing different time zones from a single place. It enables you to create desktop shortcuts to view the date and time information of any locations worldwide.

Simple installer and GUI

The setup procedure is fast and easy, since there are no special options, required software products, or third-party modules involved. However, it's obvious that that the tool hasn't been updated for a long time by the fullscreen installer with a gradient background color.

View time zones and create desktop shortcuts

Karen's Zone Manager is wrapped in a plain and simple interface that keeps options neatly organized, enabling you to select a preferred time zone from a drop-down menu to find out its name, description, standard time bias / offset, daylight saving time enabled, daylight time bias / offset, start and end time, along with the current local time. A desktop shortcut can be created with just one click.

Edit properties and create custom time zones

It's possible to sort all available time zones by name, description or GMT bias / offset, edit zone properties, create custom zones, as well as synchronize the system time to a server near your current location by exploring a list with all options and important details, such as round trip time and country. You can hide the Windows built-in time zones as well as consult a help file for additional details.

Evaluation and conclusion

It left a small footprint on system performance in our tests, running on a low quantity of CPU and memory. No error messages were displayed and the application didn't freeze or crash. Although it hasn't been updated for a long time, it worked smoothly on newer Windows models in our tests. Karen's Zone Manager can be used by anyone with ease.
