Date & Time Settings

Learn how to configure target dates, times, and timezones for your countdown timers.

Target Date

The target date is when your countdown reaches zero. Set this using the date picker in the Config tab.

Set the specific time when the countdown ends. SnapTimers uses 24-hour format internally but displays in your preferred format.

0-23 (midnight = 0, noon = 12)

0-59

Tip: For "end of day" sales, use 23:59 instead of 00:00 (which would be the start of the next day).

Timezone determines how the target date/time is interpreted. This is crucial for global audiences.

Timer ends at the exact same moment globally. Choose from 150+ timezones.

Example: December 25 at midnight EST

Timer ends at the target time in each viewer's local timezone.

Example: December 25 at midnight local
