🎯 What This Tool Does
A live countdown timer that shows the exact number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining until any date you choose. Add multiple countdowns for different events — Christmas, New Year, a birthday, a wedding, a vacation, an exam deadline — and watch them all tick down in real time.
Your countdowns are saved in your browser's localStorage, so they persist across page reloads and browser restarts. When a countdown reaches zero, it shows a celebration message and switches to showing how long ago the event occurred.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this countdown?
The timer updates every second using your device clock. It counts down to midnight (00:00:00) on the target date in your local time zone. The accuracy depends on your device clock, which is typically synced via NTP and accurate to within a second.
Can I count down to a specific time, not just a date?
Yes. The date picker lets you set both a date and a time. If you only pick a date, the countdown targets midnight (start of that day). If you add a time, it counts down to that exact moment.
What happens when the countdown reaches zero?
The timer shows a celebration message and the display changes to show that the event has arrived. If the target date is in the past, the timer shows how long ago it was instead of counting down.
Can I save multiple countdowns?
Yes. You can add multiple named countdowns and they are saved in your browser's localStorage. They persist across page reloads and browser restarts. Each countdown has its own name, date, and color.
Does this work offline?
Yes. After the page first loads, the countdown runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No internet connection is needed. Your saved countdowns are stored locally and will still be there when you come back online.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your countdown dates and names are stored only in your browser's localStorage. Nothing is sent to any server. We cannot see your countdowns.
