About this tool
Waiting is more fun when you can watch it shrink. A countdown turns “ages away” into a number that drops every day, which is why people count down to Christmas from November, to holidays from the day they book, and to birthdays the moment the previous one ends.
This one follows your device's clock, so it's right to the second, and the link carries the date and name. Send it to whoever's waiting with you: everyone sees the same countdown, in their own time zone.
Tips
- Counting down to an event at a set time, like a flight or a party? Add the time, not just the date.
- Bookmark the link: it opens your countdown straight away, no setup.
- Post the picture version once a week; the shrinking number gets people excited.
