Countdown Timer
A live, shareable countdown to any event you care about.
The countdown timer counts down to any event you care about — a wedding, a birthday, a holiday, a product launch or a deadline. Name your event, pick a target date and time, and watch a live timer tick down in days, hours, minutes and seconds. A progress bar shows how far through the current year you are, and you can copy a shareable link so friends see the same countdown.
How to use the countdown timer
- Type a name for your event.
- Choose the target date and time, or tap a preset such as Christmas or New Year.
- Watch the four tiles count down in real time, with the seconds tile highlighted.
- Copy the shareable link to send your countdown to anyone.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the countdown?
A single one-second timer updates the display every second, so the days, hours, minutes and seconds stay in step with the real time remaining.
What happens when the event arrives?
When the target time passes, the timer stops at zero and shows that the event has arrived rather than counting into negative numbers.
Can I share my countdown?
Yes. Copy the generated link, which encodes your event name and target time so anyone who opens it sees the same live countdown.
What does the year progress bar show?
It shows how far through the current calendar year today is, as a percentage — a quick sense of how much of the year has passed.
Do the presets adjust automatically?
Yes. Christmas and New Year always point to the next upcoming occurrence, so the countdown is never in the past.
