How to create a countdown?
-
Choose the event
Give your event a name and set the date and time, or start from a suggestion like New Year, Christmas, or back-to-school.
-

The time left shows in days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Go full screen to display it in large.
-
Share it
Copy the link and send it to friends or family: they see the same countdown. A message appears when the moment arrives.
A countdown you can share
Down to the second
Days, hours, minutes, and seconds left, updated continuously until the deadline.
Dates calculated for you
New Year, Christmas, the next school term: the suggestions automatically point to the next occurrence.
Shareable link
A single link is all it takes for friends and family to open the same countdown, with no account or app.
Message at the deadline
When the countdown hits zero, a message announces it: handy for kicking off a party or an announcement.
How many days until Christmas, New Year, or the holidays?
Pick a suggestion and the countdown works out the next date on its own: how many days until Christmas, how long until New Year's Eve, how many weeks until back-to-school. You can also enter any date: a trip, a concert, a movie or game release, a birthday. The countdown updates every second, and full screen turns it into a display for a party or a living room.
A countdown for a wedding, an exam, or a launch
Brides and grooms-to-be, send the countdown link to your guests; students, keep the time left before finals, exams, or a competitive test in view to plan your revision; teams, display the countdown to a product launch, a retirement, or the end of a challenge. The event's name appears above the countdown, and a message shows on the day itself.
Countdown, timer, or stopwatch?
A countdown targets a specific date and time, sometimes months away. To count down a short duration starting now (10 minutes of cooking, 25 minutes of work), our “Online Timer” with alarm is better suited; to measure how long an action takes, use our “Online Stopwatch”.
