Days countdown: how many days until your date
Pick any date and see exactly how many days are left — then watch the number drop on its own, every day, until it gets there. Free, in your browser, with a link you can send to anyone else who’s counting.
Days Until New Year
Enter the date
Pick the day you're counting to. No time needed — it counts to the start of that day unless you add one.
Name it
Give it a title so anyone who opens it knows what the days are counting toward.
Watch the days drop
Keep the page open, or share the link so everyone sees the same number of days left.
Countdown to any date
Most countdown pages are built around one occasion. This one isn’t: put in whatever date you’re waiting on — next Friday, a date six months out, a day two years away — and it counts down to that date. The example above is counting to the next New Year’s Day; yours can point anywhere.
Dates count to the start of the day you pick, which is usually what “how many days until” means. If the moment matters — a flight, a kickoff, a launch — add a time and it counts to that instead.
A countdown clock online — nothing to install
It’s a web page, so it works on whatever is in front of you: a phone, a work laptop where you can’t install apps, a tablet on the counter, or a TV. Open the same link on another device and the count matches.
To keep the number visible all day, park it in a small window or a pinned tab — the countdown timer for desktop page covers how — or put it on a big screen with the full screen countdown.
Count down days, not just hours
For anything more than a day away, the days figure is the one you check. It’s the first number on the display, and it changes once a day, so a quick look tells you where you stand.
Hours, minutes, and seconds sit underneath for the last day, when the days figure reads zero and the smaller numbers start doing the work.
Need the number once, or every day?
If you just want to know how many days are between two dates, the days between dates calculator answers that in one step. A days countdown is for when you’ll keep checking: it remembers the date for you and the answer is always current. Counting up from a past date instead? Use the days since counter.

Days countdown FAQ
Quick answers about counting down the days to a date.
What is a days countdown?
It's a live count of how many days are left until a date you choose. Enter the date once and the days figure drops by itself each day, with hours, minutes, and seconds underneath for the final stretch.
How do I count down to a specific date?
Make a countdown, pick the date in the date field, and give it a title. The countdown to that date starts straight away, and you get a link you can bookmark or send to someone else.
How many days until my date?
Enter it and the countdown shows you, live. The figure is whole days remaining, and it counts to the start of the day you pick, so on the morning of your date it reads zero.
Is this days countdown free?
Yes. Making a countdown, styling it, and sharing the link are all free, with no signup and no account.
Do I need to download an app?
No. It's an online countdown that runs in any browser — phone, laptop, tablet, or a TV with a browser. There's nothing to install and nothing to keep updated.
Can I count down to a date and a time?
Yes. Dates count to the start of the day by default; add a time if what you're counting to happens at a particular hour, like a flight or a launch.
Can I show only the days?
Days always come first on the display, but hours, minutes, and seconds show alongside them. For a count where only days matter, read the first number — the rest are there for the last day.
What's the difference between this and a days-between-dates calculator?
A calculator gives you one answer and stops. A days countdown keeps going: open the link tomorrow and it reads a day less. If you only need the number once, the days between dates calculator is quicker.
