Create a Countdown Timer
Make a custom countdown for any event, then share or embed it.
Countdown
My event
Choose a title and target date.
Shared links and embed snippets include the event title, target date and accent color.
What the share link contains
Custom countdowns are built in the browser. The share URL stores the event title and target date as query parameters, so another person can open the same countdown without an account or database lookup. That is useful for private team links, but it also means you should not put sensitive information in the title.
When to use each option
| Option | Best for |
|---|---|
| Share link | Sending a live countdown in chat, email or a project doc. |
| Embed code | Showing a countdown on a landing page, event page or internal dashboard. |
| ICS download | Adding the event date to a calendar so the deadline is not only on the web page. |
Event planning note
For a wedding date, RSVP list or reception checklist, free wedding planning tools fit better than a generic countdown; use Clockfresh when you need the live timer or embed.
