Limitations
The countdown uses your device clock and runs while the page is open, so closing the tab stops the live display. Accuracy depends on the time set on your system. Everything runs in the browser, with nothing sent to servers.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the countdown continue if I close the tab?
- The live display runs while the page is open. If you close the tab and come back later, the countdown is recalculated based on the target date and the current time.
- Which time zone is the countdown based on?
- It uses your own device clock and time zone, so the remaining time matches the local time where you are.
- Does the tool send data to servers?
- No. The countdown is calculated entirely in your browser.
