Countdown summary
Pick a departure date to start the countdown.
✈️ Pro tip — travel insurance
Sort this when you book your trip — not a week before you fly. Waiting can leave you out of pocket if plans change.
Pick a date to start counting down.
Your trip is closer than you think
Here’s what stands between now and departure.
Working-day counts stop the day before departure so travel day isn't double-counted.
Getting ready
Auto-generated tasks relative to your departure. Dates adjust instantly.
Spot the real runway
The planner turns your departure into practical signals: countable admin windows, focus weekday tallies, upcoming pay cycles, and milestone nudges tied to actual dates.
Cards recalc instantly as you tweak working patterns or pay cadence, and everything runs locally so you can adjust mid-chaos.
How to use it well
- Lock in the real departure date and time so the timeline hits the right week.
- Select only the weekdays you can realistically act on and set hours per day to match your workload.
- Match the payday cadence to your actual payroll so money-sensitive milestones surface early.
- Copy the URL when it feels right; the link keeps every setting for you or a travel buddy.
What people forget before a holiday
Jobs that often get pushed until there’s no runway left:
- Passport validity and renewal slots, especially if you only have one weekday free.
- Insurance policies arranged when you book, not after bags are packed.
- Visas, entry forms, or vaccination proof that need lead time.
- Medication refills, adapters, and other essentials that pharmacies or shops may not stock last minute.
- Final document sweeps — boarding passes, transfer confirmations, childcare letters, pet boarding notes.
Quick answers
How do working hours calculate?
Selected working days × the hours-per-day input. Nudge the hours up for long shifts or down for half days.
What counts as overdue?
Any milestone that already sits behind today. Clear it or let the date pass and it flips to done/passed automatically.
Does timezone matter?
Yes. Everything keys off your browser timezone so “today” matches your calendar. Share links keep that context.
Can I reset to defaults?
Use the Mon-Fri preset, switch pay frequency to Monthly, and refresh to return to the starter view.
