Ideas for your own countdown
- Vacation: count the days until you leave and put the link on your phone's home screen.
- Birthday or anniversary: share the link so everyone sees the same countdown.
- Exams and deadlines: see how many weeks and business days are left to prepare.
- Retirement: years can be long, but the seconds tick faster when you watch them.
- Streams and events: copy the browser source URL into OBS Studio and show the countdown live.
Frequently asked questions
Is the countdown saved?
The date, time and name are part of the link in the address bar. Bookmark it or share it and the countdown opens exactly as you set it. Nothing is stored on our server.
Which time zone is used?
The countdown uses the time zone of the device that opens the link. If you share it with people in other time zones, each of them counts down to the same local clock time.
Can I count down to a time today?
Yes. Pick today's date and set a time. For a fixed length such as 25 minutes, the regular timers are quicker.
