A countdown for any occasion
Waiting is more fun — and more organized — when you can watch the time tick down. Use this countdown for New Year, a holiday, Ramadan or Eid, an exam, a wedding, a product launch or the start of a vacation. It shows days, hours, minutes and seconds precisely and plays an alarm when time is up.
Islamic occasions, calculated for you
Tap a preset to automatically find the next 1 Ramadan, 1 Shawwal (Eid al-Fitr), 10 Dhu al-Hijjah (Eid al-Adha) or 1 Muharram (Islamic New Year), based on the Umm al-Qura calendar. The actual date where you live may differ by a day depending on moon sighting.
How to use it
- Choose “Event countdown”, enter a name, date and time, then press “Start”.
- Tap “Copy countdown link” to share it on WhatsApp or social media — anyone who opens it sees the same countdown.
- For short countdowns, choose “Timer” and set hours and minutes, or use a quick button (5 min, 10 min…).
- The remaining time also appears in the browser tab title, so you can follow it while working in another tab.
Ideas for the timer
- Practice exams under timed conditions.
- Time cooking, workouts or rest intervals.
- Keep meetings and presentations on schedule.
- For structured study sessions try the Pomodoro Timer; to measure elapsed time use the Stopwatch.
Note: some mobile browsers throttle background tabs to save battery. Keep the page open to make sure you hear the alarm on time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many days until Ramadan?
Tap the “Ramadan” button and the countdown runs to the next 1 Ramadan based on the Umm al-Qura calendar.
Can I share my countdown?
Yes. Tap “Copy countdown link” and send it; anyone who opens it sees the same event and date.
Does the alarm work if I close the page?
No — the page must stay open (even in the background) for the alarm to play.
Can I count down to a specific time?

Why does Eid differ in my country?
Some countries rely on moon sighting, so the date may be a day earlier or later than the astronomical calculation.
