How Does a Countdown Timer Work?

A countdown timer calculates the difference between the current time and a target date/time, then displays it as days, hours, minutes, and seconds. It updates every second using JavaScript's setInterval() function.

This tool runs entirely in your browser โ€” no data is sent to any server. The countdown works as long as the page is open, even without an internet connection after the page loads.
