420 Countdown

A live countdown to April 20th — 4/20 — landing, naturally, at 4:20 PM your time. It's the one day a year a remarkable number of people develop a sudden, sincere interest in the calendar. We didn't ask why. We just made the countdown, added a couple of leaves, and moved on.

Counts down to April 20 at 4:20 PM, your local time.

What happens on April 20th?

Officially? A perfectly ordinary spring day. Unofficially, a great many people will be… celebrating something. We didn't ask what, and we're far too polite to guess.

Why 4:20 PM specifically?

Because 4/20 at 4:20 is simply the correct way to do it. We don't make the rules — we just noticed everyone already follows this one.

Is there a daily version?

Yes — a countdown to 4:20 PM every day, for the other 364.

Using this at work?

Maybe not the best idea — but we've got your back. Hit the Boss! button and the countdown vanishes, replaced by a very boring spreadsheet. You're welcome.

Can't wait a whole year?

There's a countdown to 4:20 PM every day, too.
