Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this countdown timer? +
The countdown updates every second using your device's system clock. It is accurate to within one second at all times. The timer uses JavaScript's Date object, which reflects your system time.
Can I set a countdown to a specific time, not just a date? +
Yes. You can set both a date and a time. If you only set a date, the countdown defaults to midnight (00:00) of that date. Use the time picker to set a specific hour and minute.
What happens when the countdown reaches zero? +
When the countdown reaches zero, the timer stops and displays a celebratory message. The display will show all zeros and a notification that the target time has been reached.
Does the countdown keep running if I close the tab? +
No. Since this runs entirely in your browser, closing the tab stops the timer. However, if you reopen the page and set the same target date, it will immediately show the correct remaining time based on the current moment.
Can I share my countdown with someone? +
The countdown settings are stored in the URL parameters when you start a timer, so you can copy the URL from your browser's address bar and share it. The recipient will see the same countdown target.
