Countdown Timer

Pick a date and the counter starts ticking — days, hours, minutes and seconds. The page opens on the coming New Year, so if that is what you came for, you are already done.

  • 0days
  • 0hours
  • 0minutes
  • 0seconds

How to use

  1. Choose the date and, if it matters, the time of day.
  2. Name the event so the counter says what it is waiting for.
  3. Press «Copy link» to send the same countdown to someone else.

Good to know

The count runs on your own clock

The date and time you enter are read in your device’s time zone, and the difference is measured in absolute time. That is why the clock change in spring or autumn does not shift the answer: subtracting days, hours and minutes as separate fields would gain or lose exactly one hour twice a year, which is the classic way countdowns quietly go wrong.

A date in the past is not an error

When the target has already passed, the counter keeps going and shows how long ago it happened — the same numbers with the opposite meaning. Anniversaries, sobriety dates and «how long since we started» are the same question asked backwards, and a countdown that just prints zeros there is throwing away half of its usefulness.

Frequently asked questions

Can I send my countdown to someone?

«Copy link» puts the date, the time and the name of the event into the address, so whoever opens it sees the same countdown — on their own clock, which for a fixed moment like a launch is the correct behaviour.

Does it keep counting when the tab is in the background?

Browsers slow down background timers to save battery, so the display may lag while you are on another tab. The moment you come back, the counter recalculates from the clock rather than from missed ticks, so the number is always right when you look at it.

Do I have to set the time as well as the date?

No. Without a time the count runs to midnight at the start of that day, which is what people mean by «until the 1st». Set the time when the exact hour matters — a flight, a launch, an exam.
