A countdown that ticks live

Frequently asked questions
Does the countdown keep running if I close the page?
The live ticking needs the page open. But the shareable link re-creates the countdown any time — send it to anyone.
What happens when it reaches zero?
It keeps counting up, labeled 'Time since the event' — so you always know how long ago (or how overdue) something is.
Is the countdown timezone-safe?
It uses your device's local time. If you share the link across timezones, each viewer sees it in their own local time.
Can I count down to a past date?
Yes — it instantly switches to counting up from that moment, handy for 'how long since' questions.
