Help and accessibility

How Days Until works, answers to common questions, and how we make it usable for everyone.

Getting started

  • Find an event: search from Home or browse All events. Star one to keep it near the top.
  • Make your own: press New countdown. Signing in keeps it on every device and lets you share it.
  • Share: every countdown has a link, a QR code, images and a 10-second video for stories.
  • Make it yours: Card designs has 67 looks, and Customize has 43 colour themes, fonts, text size and over 200 fine details.

Questions

Do I need an account?
No. Public events, the tools and your settings work without one. An account keeps your own countdowns on every device and lets friends join them.
Why is a date marked “expected”?
Some festivals, like Eid, start when the new moon is seen, so the date can move by a day. We show our best estimate and update it when it’s confirmed.
How do reminders work?
Pick when, from a month before to 5 minutes before, or “ring at zero”. Turn on email or notifications in Settings › Reminders.
Does it work offline?
Yes, once you’ve opened it: pages you’ve visited and your own countdowns stay on this device. You can also install it like an app from the menu.
How do I delete my data?
In Profile you can download everything we keep or delete your account. Things kept only in your browser go when you clear the site’s data. See Privacy.
Something’s wrong. How do I tell you?
Use “Report a problem” at the bottom of any page, or Request a countdown for a missing event.

Accessibility statement

We aim for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA on every page.

  • Settings for reading: larger text in four steps, an easy-to-read font, wider letter and line spacing, high contrast, underlined links, a bolder focus outline, larger buttons, reduced motion and a calm mode.
  • Checked every time the site changes: automated tests with axe-core and pa11y on key pages at phone and desktop sizes, and keyboard and screen reader checks of new features.
  • Known limits: translations into Spanish, Hindi, Tamil and Arabic are waiting for native speakers to check them; some event photos come with short descriptions written from their Wikimedia captions.
