How Many Days Until the Weekend?
The weekend officially starts at midnight on Saturday - and this countdown counts down to that exact moment, every week, forever. If you count Friday night as the weekend too, our Friday countdown is one tab away; this one is for the purists.
The browser tab title carries the days remaining at all times, so the number follows you across your seventeen open work tabs - a little reminder that Saturday is mathematically approaching.
