A secret countdown is a strange thing to keep. It sits on your phone doing nothing at all for months, and then it is the only number that matters for about eleven seconds.

  • A six month wait is 182 days, which is 26 weekends of finding excuses to be somewhere scenic.
  • Name the countdown something dull if other people might see your screen. The heading changes with it.
  • Turn the caption off from the customizer if you want nothing on screen but the number. 💍

Questions people ask

Is anything I type saved on your server?

No. The name and title live in the link itself, so only people you send it to can see them.

Can I change the date later?

Yes. Pick a new date and you get a new link. The old one keeps working too.
