How to use the custom countdown tool
Pick any future date and time in UTC, give it an optional label, and click Create Countdown. You'll get a shareable URL with a live countdown that ticks every second. Bookmark the URL, share it with friends, or embed it anywhere — no signup required.
All times are computed in UTC for consistency. The countdown updates live as long as the page is open. For popular pre-built countdowns to holidays and events, see the main countdowns page.

Common questions about this page — answers customized for the data shown above.
Pick a target date and time (UTC) in the form above, add an optional label, and click 'Create Countdown.' You'll get a live countdown page that ticks every second and is shareable as a URL.
No — countdowns are stateless. The target date and label live entirely in the URL, so the countdown page works for anyone you share the link with, and we don't store anything server-side. To revisit later, bookmark the URL or save it.
Using UTC ensures the countdown means the same thing for every visitor worldwide — your friend in another time zone sees the exact same remaining time you do. If you need to add/subtract time from your local clock to find the right UTC moment, use the time calculator.
Yes — copy the URL of the countdown page once it's created. The countdown reads from the URL, so the link is the share artifact. Post it in chat, send it via email, or embed it on a page.
If the target date has already passed, the countdown displays a 'how long ago' message instead of a forward count. Useful for tracking elapsed time since a milestone or anniversary.
