How are these countdowns calculated?

Each event has a calendar rule — a fixed date like December 25, a weekday rule like the fourth Thursday of November, or the moveable Easter date. The next occurrence is worked out from today and counted down to the second, in your own local time.

Can I count down to my own date instead?

Yes. The countdown timer lets you set any date and time, name it, and copy a shareable link — useful for birthdays, launches, trips and deadlines.

Do the moveable dates like Easter update each year?

Yes. Easter and the weekday-based holidays are recomputed for the correct day every year, so the countdown always points at the next real occurrence.

Countdowns to the days that matter

Every card counts down to the next real occurrence of the day, worked out from today and ticking in your own local time. Fixed dates like Christmas and moveable ones like Easter both land on the right day every year. To count down to a date of your own — a birthday, a trip, a deadline — use the countdown timer, which gives you a shareable link.
