Frequently asked questions
Can I count down to a date in a different time zone?
The countdown uses the date and time you enter as your own local time zone; convert the target time first with our time zone converter if you're counting down to an event elsewhere.
Does the countdown update automatically?
Yes, it recalculates every second, so you can leave the page open and watch it count down in real time.
