Quick start

How to use the Countdown Timer

  1. Enter your event details

    Give your event a name (e.g. 'My Wedding', 'Race Day') then pick the target date. Optionally add a specific time — if you leave the time blank it defaults to midnight.

  2. Use a preset for popular events

    Click New Year's Eve, Christmas Day, Halloween, or Thanksgiving to instantly fill in the event name and next occurrence date. The countdown starts immediately.

  3. Share your countdown

    The event name, date, and time are encoded into the URL. Copy the link with the 'Copy link' button and share it — anyone who opens it will see your countdown pre-filled and ticking.

  4. Add to calendar

    Click 'Add to calendar (.ics)' to download a calendar file that works with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, and most other calendar apps.

About this Countdown Timer

Countdown timers help make distant dates feel real. Whether you're counting down to a holiday, a race, a wedding, or a product launch, watching the seconds tick down creates a tangible sense of anticipation and helps you stay aware of how much time you have left to prepare. Our countdown timer encodes the event name, date, and time directly into the URL, so you can bookmark it or share it without any account or sign-up. The URL updates as you type, making sharing as simple as copying the address bar. The .ics calendar export creates a standard iCalendar file that's compatible with virtually every calendar application. Opening the file adds the event to your default calendar app in one click — useful for setting reminders well in advance.
