FAQ

What does “calendar-aware months/years” mean?

A month can be 28–31 days, and years can include leap days. Calendar-aware countdowns add months/years using real dates (so “+1 month” from January 31 becomes the last valid day in February).

Should I use Local or UTC?

Use Local for normal daily use. Use UTC if you’re coordinating globally and want one standard time reference.

Can I set any number of minutes or hours?

Yes. Use the Duration method to enter any number for minutes/hours/days. For months/years, use the Months/Years method.
