A live countdown to any date
Enter the day you're counting down to — a birthday, wedding, holiday, launch or deadline — and the timer ticks down in real time. Add a time of day to count to an exact moment rather than midnight.
Why countdowns are useful
Seeing the time left makes a distant date feel concrete, which helps with planning and motivation. It's the same idea behind event countdown clocks, but for any date you choose.
It runs in your browser
The countdown updates every second on your device using your local clock. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere, so it's private and works offline once the page has loaded.
Frequently asked questions
Does it keep ticking?
Yes, while the page is open it updates every second. Reopen the page any time to resume the countdown to the same date.
Can I count down to a time, not just a day?
Yes. Add a time and it counts to that exact moment; leave it blank and it counts to the start of the day.
How do I count down to a date?
Enter the target date and time; the tool shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds remaining and keeps ticking in real time.
How many days until a specific date?
Subtract today's date from the target date. The calculator does it instantly for any future date, including across months and years.
Can I count down to a time on the same day?
Yes — set the target time and it counts the hours, minutes and seconds left, useful for deadlines, launches or events later today.
