Countdown Timer to Any Date

A countdown makes a distant deadline feel real. Pick a target date and time — an exam, a launch, a wedding, New Year — and this timer counts down live in your browser, updating every second without needing an account or an app.

How to use it

  1. Choose the target date and time.
  2. The countdown starts immediately and updates every second.
  3. Use one of the quick presets for common targets.
  4. Leave the tab open to keep watching, or come back and it recalculates instantly.

Frequently asked questions

Which time zone does it use?

Your device’s local time zone. If you are coordinating with people elsewhere, agree the target in a specific zone first, since "midnight" happens twenty-six times around the world.

Does it keep running if I close the tab?

No. It is a live display rather than a scheduled alarm, so it recalculates from the target date each time you open it. Nothing is stored on a server.

Can I count down to a time today?

Yes. Any future date and time works, including one a few minutes away, which makes it usable as a simple timer.

What happens when the target passes?

The display switches to showing how long ago the moment was, so the page stays useful after the event rather than freezing at zero.
