The link holds the date, time zone and label after the # in the address, so it is never sent to a server. Anyone who opens it sees the same moment counted down in their own time.

How to use it

  1. Type what you are counting down to, then pick the date and time.
  2. Choose the time zone the moment belongs to, for example the city where an event takes place.
  3. Press Copy link to share the countdown, or Full screen to show it on a big screen.

Questions

Will my friends see the right time in another country?

Yes. The countdown is fixed to the time zone you choose, so everyone counts down to the same moment, and the page also shows when that is in their own local time.

Does it handle daylight saving time?

Yes. The date and time are converted with the time zone rules built into your browser, including summer time changes.

What happens when the countdown ends?

It stops at zero and says the moment has arrived, then shows how long ago it was.

About this tool

About the countdown to a date

Counting the days to a holiday, a launch, a wedding or a deadline? Set the moment, give it a label and the page counts down in days, hours, minutes and seconds.

Setting it up

  • Type what you are counting down to.
  • Pick the date and time.
  • Choose the time zone the moment belongs to, such as the city where an event takes place.

Press Full screen to put it on a big display or a projector, or Copy link to share it.

Right for everyone, everywhere

The countdown is fixed to the time zone you choose, so friends in other countries count down to the same instant, and the page also shows when that is in their own local time. Daylight saving changes are handled with the time zone rules built into each browser, so a countdown that crosses a clock change stays correct.

What happens at zero

The counter stops, says the moment has arrived, and then shows how long ago it was, which is handy for anniversaries and for checking how long a launch has been live.

Private by design

The date, time zone and label are stored in the link after the # sign. That part of an address is never sent to a server, so there is no account and nothing is stored on our side; the link itself is the countdown.
