Countdown Timers by Date
Every countdown below opens the timer with its date already set: a holiday, a moment of the day or a day of the week. Pick one and it starts counting.
Free countdown timers to Christmas, New Year, Halloween, midnight, the next Friday and thirty more dates. The date is already set, so there is nothing to configure.
Countdown to a Date, a Holiday or a Moment of the Day
A countdown to a date is the simplest kind of clock there is: you set the day once and the number does the rest. These pages come with the date already written in, so opening one is all it takes.
Every one of them uses the time zone of the device that opens it, which is what makes them useful: the countdown to midnight tonight is the midnight of the person watching, not of a server somewhere else.

Countdown Timers by Date: Frequently Asked Questions
What is a countdown timer by date?
It is a countdown to a fixed moment instead of to a duration: Christmas Day, New Year, midnight tonight, the next Friday. The date is already set when the page opens, so there is nothing to configure.
Does the countdown use my time zone?
Yes. Every page counts to the next occurrence of that date or time in the time zone of the device that opens it, which is what somebody asking how long until midnight expects.
Does it reset on its own?
The countdowns to a time of the day or to a day of the week move to the next occurrence by themselves when they reach zero, so a screen left open keeps working.
Can I count down to my own date?
Yes. The birthday, wedding and retirement countdowns open a date picker so you can set the exact moment, and the timer counts down to it from then on.
Is it free and do I need an account?
It is free, with no ads, no signup and no tracking. It also keeps working offline after the first visit.
Countdown Timers by Length
If you are not counting to a date but to a duration, these open the timer with the length already set.
5 Minute Countdown Timer
Five minutes is the most useful short interval there is. It is long enough to get something done and short enough to actually do it.
1 Minute Countdown Timer
A single minute, counted down on screen as large as you need. Press start and the digits fill the screen.
10 Minute Countdown Timer
Ten minutes is the sweet spot for short meetings, warm ups and focused review sessions that people actually finish.
Countdown to a Date
Set a date and hour, and the countdown shows the days, hours and minutes left until that exact moment, big enough to read from anywhere.
Exam Timer
An exam timer that warns the room ten minutes before the end and counts the overtime, so nobody has to guess how long is left.
Presentation Timer
A presentation timer that warns you before you run out of time, shows when you should have finished, and keeps counting when you go over.
