About Countdown Timer
This countdown stamps the moment the page loads rather than ticking a clock in the corner: reload the page and the number advances. That is what makes a countdown printable, bookmarkable and shareable at a glance.
Beside the time left, the schedule lists the milestone dates: ten, seven, five, three, two and one days before the target, then the day itself, each with its weekday spelled out so you can see which day each milestone really falls on.
Questions about Countdown Timer
Does it tick like a clock?
No. The time left is computed when the page loads. Reload the page to watch it count down, or refresh regularly for a live feed.
What time of day is assumed for a date?
A plain date counts as arriving at the start of that day. If you need an exact event time, add it to the plan elsewhere and count the length instead.
Can I count down a length instead of a date?
Yes. Give a length like 45m and the countdown runs from the moment the page loaded to that length later.
