Days are calendar days: today does not count and the day of the event does.

    You have not saved any yet. In “My event” you can create a countdown and save it: it stays on this device only.

      How it counts

      We use the date and time of your device, or the time zone you choose under “Time zone”, so you can count down to an event in another country. If you change the zone, the countdown adjusts by itself. Events you save stay in this browser and are not sent anywhere.
      Step by step

      How to use it

      1. Pick a date from the list (Christmas, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, July 4th, and more) or switch to “My event”.
      2. In “My event”, type a name, a date, and optionally a time. Turn on “Repeat every year” for birthdays and anniversaries.
      3. Read the calendar days left, the exact time ticking live, and how many of those days fall Monday through Friday.
      4. Save the event to find it again, select “Full screen” to show it on a screen, or select “Copy link” to share the same countdown.
      5. Under “My live countdowns” you see every saved event ticking at once. “Embed on a site” copies a code to paste the countdown into another page, and you can turn on a sound for when it reaches zero.

      Countdown to Good Friday

      The clock shows calendar days and the exact time until 12:00 AM on Good Friday. The date is always two days before Easter Sunday, and since Easter moves, the page recalculates it each year.

      For the rest of the weekend, pick Easter Sunday from the list in the countdown clock, or Palm Sunday for the start of Holy Week.
