Countdown Timer

Choose the target date and time, add an optional label, and let the countdown update automatically every second.

1. Set the target date and time

   Open the date picker and select the date your event, deadline, or milestone falls on. Add the specific hour and minute if precision matters: a birthday at midnight differs from a 5 PM product launch.

2. Add an optional label

   Type a short description in the label field to identify the countdown. This is useful when you have multiple milestones to track in the same session.

3. Watch the live countdown

   The display updates every second and shows remaining days, hours, minutes, and seconds simultaneously. If the target is far away, the days column carries most of the value.

4. Note behavior on past dates

   If the target date is already in the past, the timer switches to elapsed-time mode and shows how long ago the event occurred: useful for tracking time since a launch or deadline.
