Yes — use the optional Time field. If left at 00:00, the countdown targets midnight at the start of that day. Enter a specific time such as 14:30 to count down to an afternoon event, meeting, or deadline.
If the date is in the past, the tool switches to an elapsed time display showing how many days, weeks, and months have passed since that date — useful for anniversaries, tracking time since a project started, or working out elapsed time.
Quick picks automatically set the date to the next upcoming occurrence of popular events — Christmas, New Year, Halloween, Valentine's Day, Easter, the Summer Solstice, Bonfire Night, and St Patrick's Day. They always target the next future occurrence, not one that has already passed.
