The web app uses the browser's default time zone, which is normally 
taken from the operating system.

I am in Eastern time zone.

timedatectl
                Local time: Wed 2025-02-19 09:48:44 EST
            Universal time: Wed 2025-02-19 14:48:44 UTC
                  RTC time: Wed 2025-02-19 14:48:44
                 Time zone: America/New_York (EST, -0500)
System clock synchronized: yes
               NTP service: active
           RTC in local TZ: no

If you run this you can open the web app in Pacific Time zone. I tested 
this now:

killall chrome
TZ=America/Los_Angeles google-chrome

In chrome navigate to the web app and see everything in that time zone.
