A prime example of this is our first tool &#8211; TimeSync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After managing a team of developers across three timezones and working with clients in another, it turned out that actually scheduling a meeting quite often took longer than the meeting itself. Sure, calendaring tools like Outlook would convert meetings to the appropriate zones after you gave it a time, but there was nothing to help work out what time to give it in the first place. Hence the creation of a quick tool where times can be determined by moving a slider until the lights go green.

Currently, the way we decide what tools to develop comes down to what we find most frustrating or useful at the time. However, as we get more and more visitors, it would be great to get a poll going for the next tool. Just click on the <a href=\"http:\/\/genevatools.net\/index.php\/contact-us\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"217\">Contact Us<\/a> link at the bottom of this page and let us know what you want to see as the next tool. The only requirement is that it does one job and does it well, rather than something that does a lot of things just OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What About Privacy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See our <a href=\"http:\/\/genevatools.net\/index.php\/privacy-policy\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"3\">privacy policy<\/a>, but in a nutshell we are paranoid about it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not use cookies (any settings saved are saved on your own computer and not shared with us.
