About Countdown to New Year
Countdown to New Year shows exactly how long is left until the clock strikes midnight on the next 1 January, updating every second right in your browser.
The big four-part display breaks the remaining time into days, hours, minutes and seconds so you can feel the year winding down at a glance, whether you are planning a party, building anticipation with friends, or just curious how far away the next year really is.
By default the tool counts down to your local New Year, using your device timezone, so the celebration moment matches the fireworks outside your window.
Tick the box off and it switches to UTC instead, which is handy when you are coordinating a global event or want a single universal reference point.
The moment the new year arrives, the countdown stops and a cheerful Happy New Year message takes its place.
Because the maths and the ticking clock both run entirely on your own machine, nothing is sent to a server, no account is needed, and the countdown keeps running offline once the page has loaded.
It is a tiny, dependable companion for the final stretch of any year.
