Timezone
Setting your workspace timezone and how it affects scheduling and display.
The workspace timezone controls how times are displayed across Borker and how scheduled times are interpreted by the publishing backend.
Setting it
Settings → Schedule → Schedule Settings → Timezone field. Click the field to open the timezone picker.
The picker is searchable across 50+ IANA timezones grouped by region (North America, Europe, Asia, etc.). Each option shows the UTC offset and current local time in that zone.
Type to filter — e.g. "London", "PST", "-5" all work.
What the timezone affects
Display
All dates and times shown in the app are in your workspace timezone:
- Command Center timeline dates
- Calendar view days
- Pipeline scheduled_at times
- Content card time labels
- Campaign phase dates
- Workflow run timestamps
Scheduling
When you schedule a post for "9:00 AM", Borker interprets that as 9:00 AM in your workspace timezone. The publishing backend converts it to UTC for storage.
Calendar slots
Weekly posting schedule slots (Settings → Schedule → Weekly Posting Schedule) are interpreted in the workspace timezone. "Monday 9:00" means 9:00 in your timezone, not UTC.
Daily run time
The daily run time (for automation) is also in the workspace timezone. "06:00" means 6 AM in your timezone.
Changing timezone
If you move, travel, or the workspace is for a remote team in another region, you can change the timezone at any time.
Important: changing the timezone does not reschedule existing content. A post scheduled for 9:00 AM Pacific will still publish at the same absolute moment in time — but it will now display as "6:00 PM" if you change to London time.
If you want existing content to move with the timezone change (e.g. "it should still go out at 9 AM my local time"), you'll need to manually reschedule those items.
Workspaces in multiple timezones
Each workspace has one timezone. If your team is distributed across timezones, pick the timezone where your audience is (not where your team lives). A US B2B brand should usually be on Eastern or Pacific time regardless of where the team works.
If you genuinely need separate timezones for different brands, create separate workspaces — timezone is per-workspace.
Borker uses your workspace timezone everywhere. Your browser's timezone is never used, so screenshots and exports look the same regardless of where you view them from.
