Frequently asked questions
How many days until my date?+
Pick a date (or use one of the quick buttons) and the countdown shows the exact days, hours, minutes and seconds remaining. You can share the link — the date is encoded in the URL, so anyone who opens it sees the same countdown.
How do I share a countdown with someone?+
Choose your date, then copy the URL from your browser. It contains a ?date= parameter (for example ?date=2026-12-25), so when you send the link, the recipient sees the countdown to the same date automatically.
Is the countdown accurate?+
Yes — it runs in your browser using your device's local time, updating every second. The same moment will show the same remaining time for people in the same timezone, give or take an hour for timezone differences.
What happens when the date passes?+
The countdown shows 0 once the moment has passed. Pick a new date (or next year's date) to start a fresh countdown. For Christmas and other annual holidays, use the dedicated countdown pages which roll over automatically.
Can I count down to an event on a specific time?+
Not yet — this tool counts down to midnight (00:00) of your chosen date. For countdowns to a specific time of day, we recommend the dedicated holiday pages, which are accurate to the second.
