Free widgets for your website
Copy one line of HTML and get a live countdown on your page. There is no account, no script tag to install, and nothing here that tracks your visitors.
Countdown timer
Paste that wherever you want the countdown to appear. It works in plain HTML, WordPress, Ghost, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, Notion and Google Sites.
What this does not do
It does not track your visitors
The widget loads no analytics, sets no cookie and stores nothing. Our own site runs analytics; this frame deliberately does not, because your visitors are not ours to measure.
It makes no third-party requests
No CDN script and no web font. Everything the countdown needs is in the frame, so it adds one request to your page and nothing else.
It needs no account
There is nothing to sign up for, no key to paste and no dashboard. The settings live in the URL, so the snippet is the whole configuration.
It will not start charging you
There is no paid tier and no usage limit. If we ever cannot keep it free, the honest thing is to say so rather than to break pages that rely on it.
Attribution
The snippet includes a small credit line under the widget. That link is how people find the tool, and it is the only thing we ask in return for keeping this free and unlimited.
If the credit line does not fit your design, you are welcome to restyle it — please keep it visible and keep it a real link.
All the settings
The snippet builder above covers the common cases. If you would rather write the URL by hand, these are the parameters it accepts.
| Parameter | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
to | Required. The moment being counted down to. A bare date starts at local midnight. | 2026-12-25T18:30 |
title | A label above the numbers. | Doors open in |
done | What replaces the numbers at zero. | We are live |
theme | auto, light or dark. Auto follows the visitor's own device setting. | dark |
accent | Hex colour for the digits, without the #. | 0e7490 |
