Frequently Asked Questions
How does the link work without a server?
The target date and label are encoded in the URL hash (#), not sent to a server. When someone opens the link, their browser decodes the hash and renders the countdown locally.
Is the countdown private?
Only people with the link can open it. Don't share in public channels if the event is confidential — there's no password protection.
What timezone does it use?
The target date is stored as a UTC timestamp. Every viewer sees the countdown relative to their own local clock, so it's accurate worldwide.
Can I embed the countdown in an email?
Most email clients block JavaScript, so a live countdown won't tick. Link to the countdown page instead — one click opens a full-screen timer in their browser.
