詳細介紹
1. One-line introduction
DateTimer is a Chrome extension that pins “moments worth waiting for” to a corner of your browser: countdowns, days counters, a lunar calendar, and holiday and make-up workday information, all visible with a click on the icon.
2. Product overview
· Form factor: Chrome / Edge extension. Click the toolbar icon for a popup, or dock it in the browser side panel
· Ready to use: includes sample countdowns on first install (payday, rent day, shipped); the empty state offers quick-add templates for payday, weekends, and the next holiday
· Your data stays yours: all data is stored locally in the browser and in Chrome sync storage, with no reliance on accounts or servers and no analytics or tracking; sign in to the same Chrome account for automatic cross-device sync
· Offline-first: core features work fully offline; holiday data is built in, and remote configuration is used only for incremental updates, with automatic fallback when unavailable
· Version: v2.1.0, backed by 113 unit tests
3. Core capabilities
1. Countdowns — made for every deadline
· One-time countdowns: custom colors, multiple display formats, and optional direct links for flash sales
· Recurring countdowns: payday, rent day, and weekly meetings automatically roll over to the next occurrence and never expire
· Large pinned display: pin any item to show a large countdown at the top of the popup
· Advance reminders: configure minute- or day-level lead times for each item; system notifications work without the page being open
· Direct notification access: click a notification to jump to and highlight the item; notifications with links include an “Open link” button and remain visible
· Cross-time-zone support: assign a separate time zone to each item for timely reminders of overseas launches and flash sales in other regions
· Toolbar badge: the icon badge counts down to the nearest item in real time, updating every second during the final hour
2. Days counters — record “day N together”
· Count forward from a start date: “930 days together,” “2 years 7 months since joining,” or “Mom is 56”
· Smart conversion: automatically combines years, months, and days for long periods
· Pill units: N / day, week, month, or year N, N years old, or custom labels such as “together” and “shipped,” with a live editing preview
· Anniversary reminders: advance annual reminders are enabled by default for birthdays and anniversaries
· Lunar support: create entries based on lunar dates and repeat them every lunar year for traditional birthday reminders
3. Lunar calendar — see time on one screen
· Custom-built monthly calendar: lunar dates, rest/work badges, holiday emoji, and a countdown to the next holiday
· Click a date to see its details and existing countdowns, or create a countdown for that date with one click
· Quick year and month selector accessible from the calendar heading
· Built-in holiday and make-up workday data for multiple years (2017–2026), available offline
4. Data peace of mind
· Backup and restore: export and import JSON with one click when moving to a new device
· Automatic snapshots: backups are created before import, clear, and restore operations so mistakes can be rolled back
· Cross-device sync: countdowns, themes, and language follow your Chrome account
· Import validation: corrupted or tampered backup files are safely rejected without affecting existing data
5. Experience details
· Light and dark themes: follow the system or switch manually, without flashing
· Chinese and English: follow the system language or switch with one click
· Flexible layout: collapse the calendar and list independently, down to a single line showing the clock
· Share cards: generate an image from any countdown with one click
· Postpone expired items by +1 day or +1 week; clearing expired items can be undone
· Click the clock at the top to copy the current time; snow animation Easter egg
4. Use cases
· Flash sales: countdowns and notification links, with the badge counting down by the second in the final hour
· Work routines: recurring payday, rent day, weekly meeting, and release-day reminders
· Life milestones: birthdays (including lunar birthdays), anniversaries, a baby's day count, and automatically increasing age
· Holiday planning: countdown to the next holiday, with holidays and make-up workdays at a glance
· Project management: pin deadlines in a large display and use time zones for timely reminders across regions
5. Technology and quality
· Chrome extension Manifest V3: a service worker schedules notifications and badges; events due during sleep are sent after waking
· 113 unit tests cover core logic
· Privacy promise: data stays in browser-local storage and Chrome sync storage, with zero external requests except optional holiday and announcement configuration refreshes
