Count down the days, hours, minutes and seconds to any date: a birthday, a wedding, a product launch, a holiday or a deadline. Name your event, pick the date and time, go fullscreen, and copy a link so friends can watch the same countdown.
How to make a countdown
- Type the name of your event in the bar at the bottom.
- Pick the date and time. The countdown uses the time zone of the device it is opened on.
- Turn on Flip cards for a retro split-flap look, if you like.
- Press Copy countdown link to share it, or F to go fullscreen.

Questions
Is my countdown saved?
Yes, in your browser. The link holds the date and name, so anyone who opens it sees your countdown, and nothing is stored on a server.
What happens when the date arrives?
The numbers are replaced by a message that your event is here.
Does it work across time zones?
The date and time are read in the viewer's own time zone, so a party at 20:00 means 20:00 wherever the link is opened.
How do I go fullscreen?
Press F on a keyboard, or use the fullscreen button in the bar at the bottom. Press Esc or F again to leave. On iPhone, Safari does not allow real fullscreen, so add the page to your home screen for the cleanest view.
