We create August 12 at 00:00 in your local timezone for this year. If that moment has already passed, we roll to August 12 next year.
2. Local time only
All calculations use your device clock and local timezone, so the countdown hits zero exactly when August 12 starts where you are.
3. Days → seconds
Remaining milliseconds are converted to days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Values never go negative and update every second.
4. Leap years
Leap years are handled automatically by the calendar — the interval from August 12 to next August 12 is 365 or 366 days as appropriate.
5. Already passed?
If today is after August 12, the timer counts toward next year’s August 12 and shows how many days ago the last one occurred.
6. Responsive & scoped
The timer is scoped to this component, accessible, and works on mobile without external libraries.
