❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is the countdown timer free? Do I need to sign up?
Completely free, no signup required. All calculations run locally in your browser — no data is ever uploaded to any server.
What is the maximum countdown duration?
Theoretically unlimited. JavaScript's Date object can handle any date up to the year 275760, so countdowns of decades or even centuries will display correctly.
Can I set multiple countdowns at once?
The current version focuses on a single target date. You can open multiple browser tabs, each with its own countdown. Multi-countdown management is planned for a future update.
Will the countdown continue if I close the page?
The countdown calculates remaining time based on the target date, not by ticking down from a start time. So even if you close the page or restart your computer, reopening will show the accurate remaining time — it's always computed relative to your target date.
Does it notify me when the countdown ends?
When the countdown reaches zero, the page displays "🎉 Time's up!". For advance reminders, we recommend using your system's calendar or alarm alongside this tool.
