Inboxes fill up and the first meetings of the day get underway across most Australian offices through this window, and knowing exactly how long is left before 10:21 am helps with everything from finishing a coffee to squeezing in one more task. The countdown updates continuously, so the figure shown is always current to the second.
Once the clock reaches 10:21 am, the countdown does not simply stop at zero — it quietly resets and starts counting towards the same time tomorrow instead. That happens on its own, with no need to refresh the page or reset anything by hand, which makes this a page worth bookmarking rather than one you only use once.
Public transport timetables in Australia are almost always printed in 24-hour time, which is exactly why 10:21 is worth having on hand even if 10:21 am 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
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.
Is there a way to make the countdown count towards a different time?
This particular page is fixed to one target time. Checking a different one just means visiting the matching page built for that specific time instead.
