How it works
-
Name your event and pick an emoji
Give the countdown a title that anyone can recognise - "Sarah's Wedding", "France Vacation", "Exam Day".
-
Set the target date
Pick any future date. The countdown updates live in the browser, ticking down to midnight of that day.
-
Copy the link and share it
You get a permanent URL. Send it by text, WhatsApp, email, or post it in a group chat. No app needed, no sign-up required.
Perfect for any occasion
From personal milestones to shared team events, a countdown link makes the anticipation feel real.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to create a countdown?
No. Creating a countdown is completely free and requires no sign-up. Just fill in the name, date, and emoji, and you get a permanent shareable link instantly.
What timezone does the countdown use?
The countdown ticks down to midnight at the start of the chosen date in the viewer's local browser timezone - So it feels personal wherever your audience is.
Can I edit the event or change the date after creating it?
Not at the moment - Each link is fixed to the name and date set at creation time. If you need to change something, simply create a new countdown and share the new link.
How long does a countdown link stay active?
Links stay live indefinitely. After the event date passes, the countdown shows a "This event has passed" message. You can also create a new countdown for the next occurrence.
What if I just need a simple timer, not a calendar countdown?
Use the Timer Link Generator to create a shareable countdown by hours and minutes instead of by date. Or use the Countdown Timer for a quick, private countdown.
