What is Server Time / Ticketing Countdown?
Server Time is a free online tool that syncs with worldtimeapi.org to provide precise current time in milliseconds (ms). It compensates for network latency to show more accurate time than your computer clock.
The ticketing countdown feature lets you set a target time and watch the countdown in milliseconds — perfect for concert ticket sales, course registration, limited edition purchases, and any situation where precise timing matters. When the target time arrives, a 'GO!' indicator appears with visual feedback.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How accurate is the server time?
Synced with worldtimeapi.org server for millisecond precision. Network latency is compensated to minimize offset from actual server time.
Will the countdown persist if I close the tab?
No, closing the browser tab resets the countdown. It works normally while the tab is open.
Does it work on mobile devices?
Yes, with responsive design it works perfectly on smartphones and tablets.
Is this service free?
Yes, completely free with no registration or installation required.
How does time sync work?
On page load, a request is sent to worldtimeapi.org's NTP-synced server. Round-trip time is measured to compensate for offset.
Privacy Notice
This server time tool sends a request to worldtimeapi.org for time synchronization, but does not collect or store any personal information. All countdown settings are processed only in browser memory and are not transmitted to any server.
