Frequently Asked Questions
Can I create multiple countdowns?
Yes! Create as many countdowns as you need for different events. Each countdown can have its own date, time, and settings.
What happens when the countdown reaches zero?
The countdown displays 'Event has arrived!' or similar message. If notifications are enabled, you'll receive an alert. The countdown can optionally show elapsed time after the event.
Do countdowns work across time zones?
Yes. Set the target time zone when creating the countdown. The timer automatically adjusts for your current time zone, ensuring accuracy for global events.
Can I embed the countdown on my website?
Yes! Generate an embed code to place the countdown on any website. Perfect for event pages, product launches, or deadline reminders.
Will the countdown continue if I close the browser?
The countdown time is based on the target date, not a running timer. Closing and reopening shows the correct time remaining automatically.
Can I countdown to a time in the past?
Some countdown tools show 'count up' from past dates, showing elapsed time. Our tool focuses on future events, but can display how long ago an event occurred.
How accurate is the countdown?
Very accurate - syncs with system time and updates every second. However, accuracy depends on your device's clock being set correctly.
