How the birthday countdown works
Pick the month and day of your birthday. Add the year you were born if you want to see the age you will turn.
urTimer keeps your birthday in this browser only, so nothing is sent anywhere. The countdown ends at midnight at the start of your birthday in your time zone.
Birthdays on February 29
If you were born on a leap day, the countdown uses February 28 in years without a February 29. In leap years it counts down to February 29.
Ideas for the countdown
- Count down to a party and watch the days shrink.
- Track a friend’s birthday so a card arrives in time.
- Plan a milestone birthday well ahead.
- Show the countdown full screen at the party for the last minute.
