Features / Countdowns

Countdown boards

Count down to your launch, event or deadline. The number flips down on its own every day, so the board builds anticipation while you forget about it.

Available on the Economy plan and up

T-05 DAYS
§ What it is & why it helps

A countdown board turns a date into a live number on your screen. Set it to a product launch, an event, a reopening, New Year or the end of a sale, and the board flips the days down on its own, so everyone who walks past sees the moment getting closer.

It works because a number that moves does something a poster cannot: it creates urgency without anybody saying a word. You set the target date once and the board recalculates itself every day from then on, so a countdown you set up in January is still right in March.

§ What you get
  • Count down to a launch, event or deadline
  • Down to the day, or to a precise hour and minute
  • Recalculates itself daily, no maintenance
  • Set the date once and leave it
  • Wrap the number in your own wording
