Countdown Timer - Create a Live Event Countdown
Create a countdown to any date and time, add an event name, and share a clear live timer for birthdays, launches, holidays, and deadlines.
Create Your Countdown
Anticipation is part of the excitement. Whether it's a product launch, a birthday, New Year's Eve, or a vacation, our Countdown Timer helps you track every second until the big moment.
Create a custom countdown with your own title, date, and time. Share it with friends or keep it fullscreen on a second monitor to build hype.
Give the countdown a title, pick the target date and time, then start it. The remaining interval is recalculated from your device clock and shown as days, hours, minutes, and seconds, and fullscreen mode keeps it legible on a second monitor.
The target is read in your device's local time zone, so a countdown created in one zone and opened in another reaches zero at a different local moment. Browsers throttle timers in background tabs, which can delay the on-screen refresh by a second or two without changing the target itself.
Worked examples: A countdown from 10 October 2026 to 1 January 2027 is 83 days — A countdown from 10 October 2026 to 25 December 2026 is 76 days. A countdown from 31 December 2026 at 12:00 to 1 January 2027 at 00:00 has 12 hours left — A countdown from 10 October 2026 to 14 February 2027 runs for 127 days.
