Custom Countdown Maker
Every countdown page on the internet counts down to somebody else's date - the holiday they picked, the launch they scheduled. This one is yours: name the event, pick the date, and it counts down live to the second, saves on this device, and lets you keep a whole board of them - the trip, the exam, the move, the release - ticking on one page.
Bottom line: past events flip automatically into days-since mode (the anniversary counter built in), the weekday estimate is there for the countdowns that imply work days, and everything lives in your browser - no account, no sync, nothing leaves the device. Clear the list and it forgets you completely.
The honest part: a device-saved countdown does not follow you to your phone - it lives where you built it, which is why the share button exists (a link re-creates any event on any device in two taps). For fixed national dates, the site's 100-odd event countdowns are already computed for you; this page is for everything else.
How to use
- Name the event and pick the date - the big number starts ticking to the second immediately.
- Hit Set again for each additional event; they stack into a board on this device, newest tick first, one-tap delete.
- Share the countdown with a link - anyone who opens it re-creates the same countdown on their own device.
Frequently asked questions
How do I create a countdown to any date?
Type the event's name, pick the date, press Set - the countdown starts that instant, counting days and ticking the hours-minutes-seconds below. It saves automatically to this device, so the page opens straight back onto your board next visit.
Does my countdown sync between devices?
No - and that is the honest trade for needing no account: the countdown lives in the browser that made it. To move it, use the share button; the link carries the event and date, and opening it on any other device rebuilds the same countdown there in two taps.
What happens when the date passes?
The countdown flips itself into days-since mode - it keeps counting, in the other direction, with a check mark where the clock was. Anniversaries, sobriety clocks, days-since-the-launch: the same tool is the counter for the after, which is why deleting old events is one tap and never automatic.
How many countdowns can I keep?
Up to twelve on the board - enough for a season of real events, few enough that the page stays a board instead of a landfill. Each shows in the list with its date and a one-tap delete; the currently displayed one stays ticking at the top regardless of the list.
