Count down to a date, or up since one
Set a date and it counts down to it, or counts the days since it, when the point is how long something has held.
About this app
Build anticipation with a live timer that counts down to a big moment or up from a date that already passed. Give it a title, set the target date and time, choose the direction, and add a message to show when a countdown hits zero. It ticks on its own with or without a connection: great for product launches and event openings, or as a days-since-incident safety board in workshops and warehouses.
Why teams choose this app
- Counts on its own, with nothing to change after setup
- Runs for months on a screen with no connection
- One app covers both an announcement and a days-without-incident board
What it does
Both directions
Count down to a moment ahead, or up from one behind, “N days without an injury” is the same app as a launch announcement.
A message for the end
Set what appears once the countdown expires, so the screen does not sit on zero with no explanation.
Colours you choose
Background, text and accent are set separately, so the counter fits the layout instead of fighting it.
Where it fits
Safety on the floor
Days without a workplace injury, on a screen the whole shift passes.
An opening
A countdown in the window while the fit-out is finishing.
A deadline in the office
Days to delivery or to quarter end, visible to the team without opening a tool.

Pick the date and time
Set the moment being counted to, or counted from.

Counting down or counting up, depending on what you are measuring.
Write the end message and publish
