Frequently Asked Questions
How does the countdown timer work?+
Enter a target date and time, select which city's timezone that time is in, then click Start Countdown. The timer counts down in days, hours, minutes and seconds until that moment arrives.
Can I count down to a time in a different timezone?+
Yes — that's the whole point. Select the city for your target timezone and the countdown will correctly account for the offset between your local time and the destination.
What happens when the countdown reaches zero?+
The timer displays 00:00:00 and shows a message indicating the moment has passed.
Can I use this for countdowns to international events?+
Yes. Whether it's a product launch, a sports event, a meeting, or a personal milestone in another country, just set the date, time and timezone of the event.
Does the countdown account for daylight saving time?+
Yes. The browser's built-in Intl API handles daylight saving automatically for all 538 cities in our database.
