    Why use an online countdown

    A browser countdown is easy to present fullscreen on a classroom board, party display, or shared tab — no install. The URL hash keeps the same target for everyone, and dedicated holiday landings give high-intent dates their own stage.

    Countdown FAQs

    How do I set a countdown?
    Pick a date and time (or a Quick start / preset), add an optional title, and press Apply. The URL hash updates so you can bookmark or share the same target.
    What timezone does the countdown use?
    By default, your device’s local timezone. You can pick a target timezone so the wall time in the link means the same moment for everyone; it is encoded in the URL hash as tz=.
    Can I share a countdown with someone else?
    Yes. Use Copy link (or copy the URL after Apply). Anyone opening the link sees the same title and target from the hash.
    Do holiday countdowns update next year?
    Yes. When a holiday date has passed, the next occurrence (usually next year) becomes the target.
    Can I use fullscreen or present mode?
    Yes. Fullscreen enlarges the countdown stage. Present mode hides setup chrome for classrooms and lobbies—use Exit or Escape to leave. Looks and display live under Customize.
    What does the progress bar measure?
    If you set a “from” start time, progress shows how far you are between that origin and the target. Without a from date, it measures from when you applied the current target on this device.
    Can I save a countdown or add it to my calendar?
    Yes. Save keeps up to eight targets on this device so you can reload them later. Add to calendar downloads an ICS file for Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and similar apps.
    Are there ready-made holiday countdowns?
    Yes. Popular holiday countdown landings (English) open dedicated stages such as Christmas, New Year, Halloween, and more. You can still set any custom target on this page.
