- Share or bookmark: keep the tab open in a browser to always see the current countdown.
The countdown uses your local time zone. If you're planning an event across time zones, switch to our timezone converter to coordinate everyone.

Frequently asked questions
What time zone does the countdown use?
Your device's local time zone. The target date/time you enter is interpreted locally.
Can I count down past an already-elapsed date?
If the target date is in the past, the countdown simply shows zero. Pick a future date to see a running countdown.
Does it work offline?
Once the page loads, the countdown runs in your browser without a network connection.
Is my target date stored on your server?
No. Everything is computed locally. Nothing leaves your browser.
How is this different from a timer?
A
timer counts down from a duration (like 25 minutes). A countdown counts down to a specific calendar date and time.
