Word structure
The word is a compound of 'jeder' (each/every) and 'Zeit' (time). So it literally means 'at any time' and is easy to remember.
EXAMPLE
Das Museum ist jederzeit für Besucher geöffnet.
The museum is open to visitors anytime.
Sentence position
As an adverb, 'jederzeit' (anytime) can stand flexibly in the sentence. It can stand in position 1, which creates emphasis, or inside the sentence after the conjugated verb.
EXAMPLE
Jederzeit können Sie eine Pause machen.
You may take a break anytime.
Register and usage
'Jederzeit' (anytime) often sounds somewhat more formal and binding. It is frequently found in service and business language to express constant availability or possibility.
EXAMPLE
Der Vertrag ist jederzeit kündbar.
The contract can be canceled at any time.
Compare with
jederzeit vs immer
always
When expressing permission, immer and jederzeit can be similar. Immer emphasizes that the permission applies generally or on every relevant occasion; jederzeit emphasizes that the person can freely choose the time. For any time of their choosing, jederzeit is therefore the better fit.

If anything is unclear, you can call me anytime.
immer
