The countdown runs in your own time zone and updates every second. Nothing is stored — copy the link to keep it.

How it works

Pick a popular date or set your own, and the countdown ticks live in your own time zone. Copy the link to keep the same countdown on another device or share it with someone else.

Remaining = Target date and time − Now

Example: Set to 25 December at 00:00 and the page shows something like 96d 14h 07m 22s.

Questions people ask

Which time zone does the countdown use?

Your device's own time zone. If you share the link with someone in another country, their countdown will end at the same instant but show a different local target time.

What happens after the date passes?

The counter flips to time elapsed, so you can also use it as a 'days since' tracker for anniversaries or milestones.

Can I count down to a specific time of day?

Yes — choose a custom date and set the time field. It defaults to midnight.
