Days Until / Countdown
A live countdown to any date.
Days Until counts down to a date you choose — a deadline, a holiday, a birthday, a launch — updating live in days, hours, minutes and seconds. Presets cover the usual holidays, and you can save several countdowns locally. The date lives in your browser, not on a server.

Questions about Days Until / Countdown
Which time zone is used?
Your device's local time zone. A shared link carries the target as an absolute instant, so the countdown reads correctly for someone in another zone rather than showing them your local wall clock.
Can I save more than one countdown?
Yes, saved events live in your browser's local storage on this device. They are not synced anywhere, and clearing site data removes them.
What is the difference from the Timer tool?
This counts down to a fixed calendar date, potentially months away. Online Timer counts down a duration from now and rings when it finishes.
How does sharing a countdown work without an account?
The target instant is encoded into the link itself, so the page can rebuild the countdown from the URL alone. Nothing is stored on a server, which also means a link cannot be revoked once you have sent it — the date is readable in the URL.
Does it keep running if I close the tab?
No. It is a live display rather than a scheduled reminder, so there is no alert or notification when it reaches zero. Saved events reappear with the correct remaining time the next time you open the page.
Is Days Until / Countdown really free, with no limits?
Yes. There is no account, no daily cap, no file-size tier and no watermark, because there is no server cost to recover. The site is funded by clearly disclosed partner recommendations on the Partners page, never by metering the tools.
Are my files or text uploaded when I use Days Until / Countdown?
No. Everything is processed by JavaScript running in your browser, on your device. You can verify it: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and use the tool. You will see no request carrying your data — because there is nowhere for it to go.
