Countdown Timer to Any Date
Track time until your event, holiday, or deadline.
Countdown to any date
Enter a future date and an optional event name. The page counts down in days, hours, minutes, and seconds, then shows the event name on the day it lands.
Tips for sharing a custom countdown
The date and event name live in the URL, so once you have set them, copy the page address and paste it to a friend; they see the same countdown from their own time zone. Useful for trip departures, wedding dates, exam days, project deadlines, and the launch of a thing you cannot stop checking on.
Common questions
- What time zone does the countdown use?
- Your device's local time. Midnight on New Year's Eve in Tokyo is not midnight in London; the page counts down to whichever midnight is yours.
- Does the countdown keep running if I switch tabs?
- Yes. The page reads the current time on each tick; an inactive tab catches up the moment you return.
- What happens when it hits zero?
- A short celebration message appears on the page. There is no popup or alarm sound by default, so the page can sit on a second monitor without surprising anyone.
- Can I make the digits bigger?
- Yes. The size buttons (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL) live in the settings panel and the choice saves for next time. Use fullscreen for a wall display.
- Does it work on my phone?
- Yes. The layout collapses to a two-column grid on phones so three-digit day counts still fit.
Tips
Save the page to your home screen and the countdown becomes a one-tap glance without browser chrome around it. Pin the tab in your desktop browser so you can leave it running for weeks without it getting closed by accident. Theme effects (the confetti or pumpkin background on the seasonal pages) can be turned off in the settings if a moving background is distracting.
