Coursework due at midnight has ended more evenings than any alarm ever has, and the last hour before a deadline is when the exact figure matters most. This page tracks the time remaining until 11:44 pm down to the second, rather than rounding it into something more comfortable.
The figure on this page comes from your own device's clock, checked continuously and recalculated every second against 11:44 pm. There is nothing to press and nothing to set up first — the count is already running by the time the page has finished loading, and it keeps going while you are looking at it.
Said out loud, 11:44 pm usually comes out as sixteen minutes to twelve at night rather than as a string of digits. Spoken and written time diverge more than people expect, which is worth remembering when somebody tells you a time over the phone and you are trying to match it against something printed.
Common questions
Which clock does it use?
Your own. It reads the local time and time zone from the device you are looking at, so the figure reflects where you actually are rather than a fixed zone written into the page.
Will this alert me when the time arrives?
No. It is a live number rather than an alarm — nothing rings, buzzes or notifies you at zero. If you need to be interrupted at 11:44 pm, set an alarm as well and treat this page as the running total.
Is it affected by the clocks changing?
Only in the sense that your device is. When the change between GMT and BST happens at the end of March and October, the device adjusts and the countdown follows it without anything to do here.
What is 23:44 in the 12-hour clock?
That is 11:44 pm, or sixteen minutes to twelve at night if you are saying it aloud. From 13:00 onwards, subtracting twelve gives the pm figure — the same moment written three different ways.
