About

soonzero counts down to the date and time you choose, and you share the countdown as a link. Free, no sign-up.

What it does

The countdown runs to the second in the time zone of the event, including daylight saving time changes. Visitors whose local time differs also see their own.

The link preview shows the title, date, time and place. The background changes with the date or occasion, such as Christmas or the summer holidays.

Turn on notifications and keep the page open, and your browser lets you know when the countdown ends.

Privacy

The title and place are only in the link, and anyone who gets the link can see them. The server does not store them; it only keeps the finished preview image in memory for a while. Countdown pages tell search engines not to index them.

When an error occurs, a description of the error and the page address are recorded, without the contents of the link.

What your browser remembers
