What this tool does

Two kinds of countdown: “Timer” counts minutes and seconds (1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes in one tap, or type your own), with start, pause, reset and ±1 minute; “Count down to a time” takes a date and time and shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds left — great for openings, event starts and sale deadlines.

When time's up it chimes three times (even with the iPhone silent switch on), the phone vibrates and the screen flashes; the screen stays on while counting down. You can change the title (e.g. “Flash sale”) and the text shown when time's up.

Live streaming: choose the “Green screen” or “Transparent” style, tap “Copy the link for streaming software (OBS)” and paste it into an OBS “Browser Source” — the countdown sits on top of your stream. On a computer, Chrome and Edge can open an always-on-top “Floating window”. 3 a day without an account, 10 a day once you sign up (each opening counts once; reopening within 30 minutes doesn't count).

FAQ

Does it make a sound when time's up? Even on a silenced iPhone?

It chimes three times and phones vibrate too; it still sounds with the iPhone's side silent switch on (as long as the volume is up). If you don't want a sound, untick “Chime when time's up”.

Can I put it on top of my live stream?

Yes. Choose the “Green screen” or “Transparent” style, tap “Copy the link for streaming software (OBS)”, add a “Browser Source” in OBS and paste the link — the countdown appears on top of your stream (the timer starts by itself).

What happens if I lock my phone during the countdown?

The countdown follows the clock, so the time left is right when you come back; but it can't chime while the screen is off, so keep the screen on if you need the alert (this page keeps the screen from dimming while counting down).

Does it cost anything?

Free: 3 a day without an account, 10 a day once you sign up; each opening counts once, and reopening within 30 minutes doesn't count. Only AI promo writing and AI countdown backgrounds use credits.
