Countdown to your product launch
🚀 Sunday, April 18, 2027
Your product launch is 248 days away.
📌 That date is just an example. Set your own below and you'll get a link with your date in it, and this page keeps the background.
That's 35 weeks and 3 days to go.
✨ Make it yours
Everything applies to the counter live, and rides along in the link and the embed code.

Launch day works twice: as an internal deadline and as a teaser on your landing page. The embed is a plain iframe, so it drops into any site builder.
Pick your date in the picker above. The link you get back carries the date, this background and every colour you changed.

A launch countdown is a shop window with the blind half down. People can see something is coming, which is most of the reason they come back.
- A 12 week run-up is 84 days, or about 60 working days once weekends come off.
- Style the counter to your brand colours and the embed carries them with it. 📣
- Set the target time to the exact hour the doors open, not to midnight.

| Days before | Usually the moment for |

Questions people ask
Can I match it to my brand?
Yes. Digits, labels, caption, shadow and background are all adjustable, and they travel in the embed code.
What happens after launch?
The counter flips and counts up, so the page turns into a days-since marker on its own.
