How to Use the Countdown Timer

1. Enter a date — Pick any future or past date using the date picker. Add an optional time for precision down to the second.
2. Name your event — Type a label like “Product Launch” or “Summer Vacation” in the Event Name field. This is optional but keeps things organized.
3. Choose a mode — Use Countdown for future dates (days until) or Time Since for past dates (how long ago).
4. Hit Start — The large display begins updating every second with days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
5. Use presets — Click any quick-preset chip (New Year, Christmas, Halloween, etc.) to instantly load a popular event.
6. Track multiple events — After configuring an event, click + Add to List to pin it to the live multi-event panel below the main display.
7. Celebrate — When a countdown hits zero, a confetti animation fires automatically.

Popular Events to Count Down To

Beyond holidays, countdowns work great for personal milestones — project deadlines, exam dates, anniversaries, travel departures, product launches, and sports events.
