What is the Anniversary Countdown?

The Anniversary Countdown is a personalized timer that helps couples track the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until their special celebration. Whether you're counting down to a wedding anniversary, the day you met, your first date, or any meaningful relationship milestone, this tool makes the anticipation more exciting.

Unlike fixed-date countdowns, this timer lets you set your own date. Enter your anniversary, add a custom title, choose a beautiful theme, and watch the countdown begin. You can also create shareable links with personal messages to surprise your partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set my anniversary date?

In the settings panel, enter a title for your countdown, click the date field to open the calendar picker, select your anniversary date, then click Apply. The countdown will immediately begin calculating the time remaining.

What happens after my anniversary passes?

Once your anniversary date arrives, you'll see a celebration message. The countdown automatically resets to count down to the same date next year. This way, you always have something to look forward to without needing to manually update the date.

Can I use this for dates other than wedding anniversaries?

Absolutely! While it's called an anniversary countdown, you can use it for any recurring special date:

The day you started dating
When you first met
Your engagement anniversary
First kiss or first "I love you"
Any meaningful relationship milestone

Will my settings be saved if I close the browser?

Yes. Your anniversary date, custom title, and theme preference are stored in your browser's local storage. When you return to the page, everything will be as you left it.

Note: If you clear your browser data or use a private/incognito window, you'll need to re-enter your information.

How do I share the countdown with my partner?

Click Create Share Link in the toolbar. Fill in the title, date, and optionally add a personal message. Click Generate Link, then copy the link and send it to your partner. They'll see the countdown with your custom settings and message.

What's the difference between Romantic and Elegant themes?

Romantic features soft pink tones with floating hearts, falling rose petals, sparkles, doves, and wedding rings — creating a warm, loving atmosphere.

Elegant Gold uses champagne and gold tones with bubbles, stars, golden ribbons, and corner decorations — perfect for milestone anniversaries like silver or golden celebrations.

Does the countdown work offline?

Yes. After loading the page once, the countdown continues to function without an internet connection. It uses your device's internal clock to calculate the remaining time. Just make sure your device's date and time are set correctly for accurate results.

Why does the countdown show different times on different devices?

The countdown uses each device's local time. If you and your partner are in different time zones, you'll see slightly different remaining times. This is normal — both countdowns will reach zero at midnight in your respective locations.

Can I add a personal message to the shared countdown?

Yes! When creating a share link, there's an optional "Personal Message" field where you can add a heartfelt note. This message will be displayed on the countdown when someone opens your shared link.

Is my anniversary date private?

Yes. Your date is stored only on your device in your browser's local storage. We don't collect or store your personal information on any server. The only way someone could see your date is by accessing your device or if you share the link with them.

What if my anniversary falls on February 29?

The countdown handles leap year anniversaries correctly. In non-leap years, the countdown will target the appropriate date. You can adjust the date manually if needed.
