How do I set up a countdown?

Enter a target date and time using the date and time pickers, optionally give the event a name, and the countdown starts immediately showing days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining.

What happens when the countdown reaches zero?

The display changes to a completion message. The countdown does not go negative — it simply stops when the target time is reached.

Can I share the countdown?

Yes — the target date and event name are encoded in the URL. Copy the URL to share the exact same countdown with others.

How precise is the countdown?

The countdown updates every second and is based on the actual current time versus the target time, so it remains accurate even if the tab is inactive.

Can I count down to a time in a different timezone?

Enter the target time in your local timezone and the countdown will be accurate from your perspective. For events in another timezone, convert the event time to your local time first.
