How to Set Up a Countdown
Our countdown timer helps you track the time remaining to any important future event. It's simple to use:
- 1. Name Your Event: Give your countdown a title, such as "New Year's Eve" or "My Vacation". This will be displayed above the timer.
- 2. Select a Future Date: Use the date picker to choose the date of your event.
- 3. Set a Time (Optional): If your event has a specific start time, you can enter it. If you leave it blank, the countdown will default to midnight (00:00) on the selected date.
- 4. Start Countdown: Click the "Start Countdown" button to begin the live timer, which will update every second.
