What is the Make Your Own Countdown?
The countdown maker turns any date into a live countdown with your own title: "Ali & Sara's Wedding", "CSS Exam" or "Umrah Trip". Copy the link and share it on WhatsApp; anyone who opens it sees the same live countdown.
Nothing is stored on a server; the title and date are in the link itself. For ready-made countdowns see Days Until Eid ul Fitr or Days Until New Year; for birthdays use the Birthday Countdown.
