How to use the Countdown Timer to a Date
A countdown turns a distant date into something concrete. Choose the date and time of your event and this page ticks down the days, hours, minutes and seconds in real time, in your own time zone.
Give the event a name if you like, such as “Wedding” or “Exam day”. The title appears above the clock. When the moment passes, the display switches to counting up, showing how long ago the event happened, which is handy for anniversaries and milestones.
Press “Copy shareable link” to save the target date and name in the page address. Anyone who opens the link sees the same countdown, and you can bookmark it to return later. Everything is stored in the link itself, so nothing is uploaded to a server.
Because the timer reads your device clock, it stays accurate as long as your computer’s time is correct. If you are planning something across time zones, such as an online launch, use the time zone converter to agree on a single moment first. For work sessions rather than dates, try the Pomodoro or stopwatch tools. Keep the tab open to watch the seconds fall, or check back whenever you like.

The countdown uses your device’s local time zone for the date and time you enter.
