FAQ
Can I share the countdown with others?
Yes! Click the Share button to copy a URL that anyone can open to see the same countdown. The target date and title are encoded in the URL.
What happens when the countdown reaches zero?
The timer shows an expired message and stops counting. You can reset it to create a new countdown.
Does the countdown work if I close the browser?
The target date is saved in the URL, so opening the same link will always show the correct remaining time. The countdown calculates from the current time, so it stays accurate.
