Countdown to an event

Create a live countdown in days, hours, minutes and seconds, then share it as a link.

About this calculator

Use the countdown timer for launches, trips, exams, meetings or personal milestones.

The timer updates every second and the share link keeps the date, time and title.

    Enter an event date and time.

  2. 2

    Add a short title if you want it shown in the result.

  3. 3

    Share the URL to reopen the same countdown.

Practical examples

  • Count down to a product launch.
  • Share time remaining until a trip or wedding.
  • Keep a visible timer for an exam or deadline.

Frequently asked questions

Does the countdown use my time zone?

Yes. The event time is interpreted in the visitor's local time zone.

Can I share the countdown?

Yes. The date, time and title are stored in the URL query parameters.

What happens after the event?

The timer stops at zero and shows that the event time has arrived.

Does it keep running in the background?

Browsers may pause background tabs, but the countdown recalculates from the actual current time when visible.

Is the event title stored on a server?

No. It is only in your browser state and in the URL if you share it.
