Question 1

How do I make a countdown to a date?

Accepted Answer

Tap an event chip (New Year, Nowruz, Christmas, Ramadan…) or pick any date — in the Shamsi (Jalali) or Gregorian calendar — and add an optional label. Timeyard shows a live countdown with days, hours, minutes and seconds, plus weeks, months and a progress line. Everything runs on your device.

Question 2

Can I count down to a Persian (Shamsi) date like Nowruz or Yalda?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The date input has a Shamsi / Gregorian toggle, and there are one-tap presets for Nowruz, Yalda, Ramadan and Eid. The target date is shown in both calendars, so a countdown to 1 Farvardin reads correctly for everyone.

Question 3

How do I share a countdown?

Accepted Answer

Use Share to send a live link (the date and label are saved in the link, so it re-opens the same ticking countdown), copy a branded image card, or add the date to your calendar (.ics). On phones the native share sheet sends it straight to WhatsApp, Telegram, Messages and more.

Question 4

Does the countdown keep the right time if I leave the tab?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The remaining time is always recalculated from the real clock, not by counting ticks, so it stays exact even after the tab is in the background — it snaps to the correct value the moment you return.
