Countdown to a date
Pick a date, name the event, and watch it tick down live. Copy a link to share the same countdown. Everything runs in your browser - nothing is uploaded.
Pick a date to start the countdown
How it works
Pick a target date - and a time, if it matters - give it a name like "Holiday" or "Launch", and the countdown ticks down live in days, hours, minutes, and seconds. It is the tool for the run-up to a wedding, a trip, a release, an exam, a birthday, or the new year, with a big clear number you can glance at. Once the moment passes, the countdown flips to counting how long ago it happened, so the page keeps making sense either side of the date.
Your date and label are saved in your browser, so the countdown is still there when you come back, and the "Copy link" button packs them into a shareable URL - send it to someone and their page shows the same countdown, no account or sign-up needed. The clock is based on the real system time rather than counting ticks, so it stays accurate even if the tab sits in the background. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
Example. Set the date to 31 December and the label to "New Year", and the page shows something like 195 days, 4 hours, 12 minutes, and 30 seconds to go, updating every second. Copy the link and a friend opening it sees the very same countdown.
FAQ
How do I make a countdown to a date?
Choose the date (and optionally the exact time) and type a name for the event. The countdown starts immediately and updates every second, showing the days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining.
How do I share my countdown?
Press "Copy link". The tool encodes your date and label into the link itself, so anyone who opens it sees the same countdown. Nothing is stored on a server - the details travel in the URL.
What happens after the date passes?
The countdown switches to counting up, showing how long ago the moment was (for example "2 days ago"). Pick a new date whenever you want to start a fresh countdown.
Is the countdown accurate if I leave the tab?
Yes. It reads the real system clock each tick rather than counting frames, so when you return to a backgrounded tab the number is correct rather than lagging behind.
