Features / Countdowns & counters

Countdown and counter boards

Count down to your launch, or count up the days since a milestone. The number ticks over on its own, live on the board.

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, New Year or a sale, and the board flips down the days on its own, building anticipation for everyone who walks past.

A counter does the opposite: it counts up from a date you choose. The classic is a workplace safety board, days since the last incident, but it works for anything worth tracking: days open, orders shipped, or years in business. Both update themselves, so once you set the date you never touch it again.

§ What you get
  • Count down to a launch, event or deadline
  • Count up from any milestone, live
  • Updates itself every day, no maintenance
  • Set the date once from your phone
