Live countdowns in your timezone
Build a countdown to anything — a launch, a deadline, a birthday — and get a link you can send and an embed you can paste. It counts to a fixed instant, so everyone you share it with sees the same number on their own clock. Free, no sign-in, no ads.
Pick a date…
Or take one of ours
Events we have checked the instant for, each with local times in major cities.
Bookmark a countdown and it keeps ticking; share the link and each person sees it resolved to their own clock, with no timezone maths on their end. For worldwide instants like the 2027 total solar eclipse, the page also lists the exact local time in major cities so nobody misses it.
The distinction between the two kinds of countdown matters more than it looks. A holiday like New Year isn't a single moment, it sweeps around the planet, hitting midnight one timezone after another, so Sydney celebrates hours before New York. A fixed astronomical event like an eclipse is the opposite: one instant everywhere, and only the wall-clock reading differs. Getting this right is exactly the sort of thing ad-choked world-clock sites tend to fudge, and it's why each page states plainly which kind it is.
Everything here is computed from live timezone data, daylight saving included, so a countdown you open today is still correct if a country changes its clocks before the date arrives. More events are added carefully rather than in bulk, a countdown is only useful if the date behind it is one we're confident about.
FAQ
Can I make my own countdown?
Yes, that is what the form at the top is for. Pick a moment, give it a name, and you get a link to send and an iframe to paste. Nothing is stored on our side — the countdown lives entirely in the URL, which is why it keeps working whether or not you ever come back.
Will everyone see the same countdown?
Yes. The link encodes a fixed instant, not a wall-clock time, so someone opening it in Tokyo and someone in Lisbon are counting to the same moment and see the same number of days remaining. Their local time for it differs; the countdown does not.
Whose timezone does the countdown use?
Yours, it reads your device's timezone, so the counter is always to the moment the event happens where you are.
What's the difference between the event types?
Some events are a single worldwide instant (an eclipse); others, like New Year, arrive at midnight one timezone after another. Each page makes clear which it is.
