Days since counter
Pick any date in the past and watch the days count up, live. It is the opposite of a countdown: the number grows every day, on its own, so there is nothing to reset and nothing to work out on a calendar.
Free, no signup. Your date stays in your browser unless you create a link.
What people count the days since
The counter does not care what the date means — it just keeps the number honest.
- A quit date — smoking, drinking, or a habit you are done with
- A workplace safety board: days since the last accident or incident
- A streak you want to protect — the gym, a language app, writing
- The last time a machine went down, or a server last restarted
- The day you moved, started a job, or brought a pet home
- Anything you would otherwise work out on a calendar every time
Count-up templates
Pick a look, set your date, and your days-since counter is ready to keep, pin, or share.
Safety Board
High-contrast green for a wall display anyone can read across a room.
Streak
Plain dark slate that sits quietly in a pinned browser window.
Milestone
Navy and gold for a count you actually want to show people.
Fresh Start
Light and low-key for a date you check every morning.
Days since last accident counter
A safety board is the oldest version of this idea: one number, on a wall, where everyone walking past can see it. The web version does the same job without the plastic digits — set the date of the last incident and it rolls over at midnight by itself, so the board is never a week out of date because nobody changed it.
Name it whatever your site calls it — days since our last accident, days since our last incident, days since a lost-time injury — then open it in full screen on a spare monitor or a wall-mounted display. If the count has to go back to zero, change the date and it starts again.
Build a safety board counterWhy a live board beats a written one
- It updates itself at midnight — no morning task, no stale number
- Everyone sees the same count, on any screen you open the link on
- Resetting is changing one date, not rewriting a sign
- Nothing to install on the display machine, just a browser
A count up widget for your second screen
If you want the number in the corner of your day rather than on a wall, keep it in a pinned tab or shrink the window and park it on a second monitor. It is a normal web page, so it survives a restart the way a bookmark does, and there is nothing to install to make it work.
The same link opens on a phone, so you can add it to your home screen and check the count with one tap. For more ways to keep a timer visible while you work, the desktop countdown timer page covers the same ground for counting down.

Days since counter FAQ
Quick answers about counting up from a date, safety boards, and keeping the counter on screen.
What is a days since counter?
It is a timer that runs the other way. Instead of counting down to a date in the future, it counts up from a date in the past, so the number gets bigger every day. Pick the date once and the counter keeps itself current — open it next month and the days have already moved.
How do I count the days since a date?
Enter the date in the counter above. It shows the total number of days, the same span as years, months, and days, and the date of your next milestone. Nothing to set up and no signup — the count starts the moment you pick the date.
Can I use this as a days since last accident counter?
Yes, and it is one of the most common uses. Set the date of the last incident, name the board something like 'Days since our last incident', and open it full screen on a spare monitor or a wall-mounted display. It rolls over at midnight on its own, so nobody has to remember to change a number.
Is there a count up widget I can keep on screen?
The counter is a web page, so you can keep it in a pinned tab, a small window parked on a second monitor, or full screen on a display that does nothing else. There is nothing to install, and the same link works on a phone, a laptop, or a TV browser.
What is the difference between this and a days between dates calculator?
A days between dates calculator answers a one-off question about two dates you type in, and gives you a fixed number. This is a live counter from a single date you keep — it updates itself and you can save or share the link. If you just need the gap between two dates, the days between dates calculator is the quicker tool.
Can I share my days since counter?
Yes. Create your counter and you get a link you can send to anyone, or put on a screen. The date travels inside the link itself, so the person opening it sees the same live count you do.
Does the counter keep my date?
Your date is remembered in your own browser, so your count is waiting the next time you open the page. Nothing is stored on our servers, and there is no account. If you want the count somewhere else too, create a link and open that link on the other device.
Is the days since counter free?
Yes. Counting the days, customizing the display, and sharing the link are all free, with no signup.
