Frequently Asked Questions

How does the countdown update?: The timer updates every second in real time using setInterval. The displayed days, hours, minutes, and seconds reflect the exact time remaining to your target date.
What happens when the countdown reaches zero?: When the target date is reached, the timer shows a 'Time's up!' message and stops counting.
Is my target date saved?: The target date is stored in your browser's localStorage so it persists if you reload the page. It is never sent to a server.
Can I set a specific time, not just a date?: Yes — the date picker includes a time component (hours and minutes) so you can count down to an exact moment.
