About the countdown timer
A countdown timer counts down to a date and time you choose and shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds remaining, live. Use it for events, launches, deadlines, holidays or any moment you are waiting for. It updates every second and runs entirely in your browser.
How Countdown works
How to start a countdown
- Pick the target date and time.
- The timer immediately shows the time remaining.
- Watch it count down live to the second.
What you can count down to
Birthdays, product launches, exams and deadlines, holidays, New Year, or the start of an event — anything with a fixed date works.
Always accurate
The countdown uses your device clock and updates every second, so it stays precise while the tab is open.
Tips
Bookmark the page with your target date so you can reopen the countdown instantly, and keep the tab open to watch it live. Because the timer reads your device clock, make sure your computer or phone time is set correctly for an accurate count — it is perfect on a second screen during a launch, sale or event.
