Which time zone does the countdown use?

It uses your device's local time zone, counting down to midnight on 1 January where you are.

Does the countdown update by itself?

Yes. It refreshes every second while the page is open, with no page reload needed.

Is anything sent to a server?

No. The timer runs entirely in your browser using your local clock.

Live countdown to the New Year

This page shows a live countdown to midnight on 1 January in your local time zone — the days, hours, minutes and seconds tick down automatically every second.

There is nothing to set up: the timer reads your device clock, so it is always accurate for wherever you are, and it never sends anything to a server.
