Countdown Timer

Count down to any event, live. Saved automatically across browser sessions.

How the Countdown Timer Works

Enter an event name and pick a target date and time. The countdown updates every second, showing days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining. Use the quick presets to jump to common events like New Year, Christmas, or the summer solstice.

Your countdown is saved in your browser's local storage, so it persists even if you close the tab. When the countdown reaches zero, a celebration message appears. Hit Reset to start fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my countdown survive if I close the browser?
Yes. Your event name and target date are saved in your browser's local storage. When you return to the page, the timer picks up where it left off — no account required. Clearing your browser data will erase it.
What happens when the countdown reaches zero?
When the target date and time is reached, the countdown display switches to a celebration message. The timer stops at zero — it won't count up or go negative. Hit Reset to clear the timer and start a new one.
Can I run multiple countdowns at once?
This tool tracks one countdown at a time. Only the most recently entered event is saved. If you need to track multiple events simultaneously, open the tool in multiple tabs — each tab will have its own local storage.
