Reminders are best effort. They run in this page's browser tab, so they only appear while a timenow.dev tab with the exchange list is open. Browsers can pause background tabs, and a closed browser, a sleeping device, or Do Not Disturb will stop them. Nothing here guarantees delivery, so check the official exchange before you rely on a time.

Browser tab countdownShow the next market event in the tab title, such as [NYSE opens in 1h 12m].Uses your starred markets, or every market in the list if none are starred. The normal title returns when you turn it off or leave the page.

Time simulatorPreview which markets are open at another date and time.

Preview which markets are open at another moment. Every status, countdown, and the 24-hour timeline on the pages you open will use the previewed time until you return to the present. This does not change your device clock, and reminders and the tab title keep using the real time.
