Summer starts astronomically at the June solstice. In 2027 that is June 21, at about 14:10 UTC; the countdown targets that exact moment instead of midnight, converted to your local time.
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.
