Good to know
The countdown uses the time zone of the device it is shown on, so a shared New Year countdown hits zero at local midnight for everyone. Easter and Thanksgiving are calculated for the coming year automatically.
After the date has passed, the display keeps counting upwards so you can see how long ago it was.
Frequently asked questions
