How the countdown works
We create October 1 at 00:00 in your local timezone for this year. If that moment has already passed, we roll to October 1 next year.
All calculations use your device clock and local timezone, so the countdown hits zero exactly when October 1 starts where you are.
Remaining milliseconds are converted to days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Values never go negative and update every second.
Leap years are handled automatically by the calendar — the interval from October 1 to next October 1 is 365 or 366 days as appropriate.
If today is after October 1, the timer counts toward next year’s October 1 and shows how many days ago the last one occurred.
The timer is scoped to this component, accessible, and works on mobile without external libraries.
