New Year around the world

Easter Sunday moves every year: it is March 28 in 2027 and April 16 the year after. The date is computed with the Gregorian method (first Sunday after the church’s full moon on or after March 21), so you never have to look it up.
How to use
- Type a name, then pick the date and time. The countdown starts right away.
- Choose a time zone if the event happens somewhere else; everyone who opens your link counts to the same moment.
- Pick an icon and a theme, then press Full screen to show the countdown on a TV or projector.
- Share copies a link that holds the whole event. Calendar downloads an .ics file for Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook.
- Tap a popular event for a ready-made countdown. Once a date has passed, the display counts the time since.
- Holiday countdowns use midnight in your own time zone and roll over to next year after the day ends. Easter is calculated with the Gregorian computus (Orthodox Easter on the Russian page), and Black Friday is the day after the fourth Thursday of November.
- The share link contains the event name, date, time, zone, icon and theme. Nothing is stored on a server.
- Your last event is remembered in this browser so it is still here when you come back.
- Daylight saving changes are handled: the target is a fixed moment in the chosen time zone.
One moment for everyone
A countdown is stored as a date, a time and a time zone, which together fix one exact moment. Someone opening your link in Tokyo and someone in London count to that same instant, each seeing it in their own local time. Daylight saving changes are included, so a countdown across a clock change is still right.
Below the big digits you also get the total in days, in weeks and days, and in hours, plus the target date in your own calendar format.
Share it or add it to a calendar
Share copies a link that holds the event name, date, time, time zone, icon and theme in the address itself, so nothing is stored on a server and the link keeps working. Calendar downloads an .ics file for Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook, with a reminder one hour before. Once the moment passes, the page switches to counting the time since.
How the holiday dates are worked out
Fixed-date holidays count to midnight in your own time zone and move to next year once the day ends. Easter uses the Gregorian computus (the Orthodox date on the Russian page), US Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday of November, Black Friday the day after, and the start of summer uses the exact solstice time.
Frequently asked questions
How many days until my event?
Pick the date and time above and the countdown shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds left, plus the total in days, weeks and hours.
Can I share my countdown?
Yes. Press Share to copy a link. The event details are inside the link, so anyone who opens it sees the same countdown without an account.
Does the countdown handle time zones?
Yes. Choose the time zone where the event happens; everyone counts to that exact moment, shown in their own local time, with daylight saving changes taken into account.
What happens when the countdown reaches zero?
It shows the event as today, and after that it counts the time since the event, so you can also use it as a day counter.
Can I put the countdown on a TV or a stream?
Press Full screen (or F) for a large display, and choose an icon and a theme so it fits the occasion.
Is my event saved?
