For anyone well into an overnight shift, this stretch often marks the halfway point rather than the end, with 10:17 pm standing in for a break, a handover, or simply the next fixed marker in a long night. This page tracks the exact time remaining, updating every second regardless of how the shift is going.
There is no app to download, no account to create, and nothing that gets installed on your device to make this work — the whole countdown runs directly in the page you are already looking at. Closing it costs nothing, and reopening it later simply shows the current, accurate gap to 10:17 pm.
Public transport timetables in Australia are almost always printed in 24-hour time, which is exactly why 22:17 is worth having on hand even if 10:17 pm is the version that comes to mind first. Matching the two formats against each other takes the guesswork out of reading a printed timetable correctly.
Common questions
Why does the number change slightly every time I check?
Because it is a live countdown rather than a fixed figure, it updates every second, so the exact hours, minutes, and seconds remaining will always be a little lower than the last time you looked.
Can I use this to time something happening tomorrow instead of today?
The countdown always points to the next time that moment occurs, so if it has already passed for today, it is already counting down to tomorrow's occurrence without any adjustment needed.
Does daylight saving affect the countdown?
Yes, because it reads from your device's own clock, any daylight saving change your device applies automatically is reflected in the countdown without any extra step on your part.
Why does the countdown look different on two devices checked at once?
That usually means the two clocks are not perfectly in sync, or one device has not adjusted for a time zone or daylight saving change. The countdown itself always follows whatever clock it is reading from.
