A live countdown for every big day

Pick an event – Christmas, New Year, Easter, Valentine’s Day, Halloween or the first day of summer – or set your own date and time: a birthday, a wedding, a holiday, the last day of school. The countdown shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds left, plus how many sleeps and weeks to go.

Easter is calculated automatically for each year. Yearly events roll over to next year once the day has passed. Show it in fullscreen on a classroom screen or TV, or press Share to send a link that opens the same countdown for friends and family.

  2. For your own date, enter a name, date and (optional) time; tick “every year” for birthdays.
  3. Watch the countdown – it updates every second.
  4. Press Share to send a link, or go fullscreen.
