About Off-Duty Countdown
Turn clock-out into a small daily ritual
Choose your shift and optionally enable reminders. At clock-out, choose Finish for today or Still busy. The timer starts only when you choose Still busy, not automatically when time is up.
Shift windows can cross midnight
Choose a preset or enter your own start and end times. The timer determines whether the active shift belongs to today or started yesterday, so a 22:00 to 07:00 night shift still shows elapsed time, remaining time, and progress correctly.
Local schedule, reminders, and shift state
Your schedule, reminder preference, and current shift state stay in this browser with localStorage. The timer you start is for this shift only; it does not add to historical totals. Reminders can alert you five minutes before and at the scheduled end, depending on device and permissions.
Share only the schedule you are comfortable exposing
The share link can include the selected start and end times so another browser can load the same shift. It does not create an account, attendance record, labor-rights claim, or official overtime evidence; use it as a personal countdown and morale tool.
FAQ
Common questions and answers about this topic.
Why are my shift times stored only on this device?
We don't have an account system, a cloud, or any interest in what time you clock off. Settings live in your browser, so the boss can't peek, HR can't query, and we can't either. Hopping to another device? Hit "Share link" and bring the schedule with you.
Does it support overnight (graveyard) shifts?
Yes. Set the end time earlier than the start time (e.g. 22:00 → 07:00) and we'll roll the deadline to the next day. The "Night 22-07" preset is one tap away. Graveyard shifts aren't normal, but your clock-out still deserves a countdown.
Why does the minute step go down to 1, but seconds keep flying past?
One-minute granularity is there for flexible-hour folks whose shift ends at 17:23. The seconds tick to give you the *feeling* that time is moving — even though it's been moving the whole time you were stuck in that meeting.
Will the notification still fire if I close the tab?
No. We didn't ship a service worker, so the notification only fires while this tab is open (foreground or background, both fine). Close the tab and it's gone. Pinning the tab is the trick.
What do the past automatic estimates mean?
These are estimates saved by the old automatic timer, not confirmed working hours. The weekly total starts on Monday and no longer grows. The new timer starts when you tap Still busy and saves only the current shift state, without adding to historical totals. You can clear the old estimates.
Why do confetti pieces rain when I clock off?
Because the moment you clock off deserves a tiny ceremony. Surviving another shift earns you a fistful of Morandi-toned paper drifting down your screen — that's the whole reward, and we think it's enough.
What does the progress bar show?
It shows how much of your scheduled shift has passed. It stops at 100% at the scheduled end; this does not start extra time. The bar turns green when you choose Finish for today.
How do I turn off the animations?
Enable Reduce motion in your device accessibility settings to disable the confetti. The time display will still update.
