About this countdown

Nothing focuses a team like a live counter on the wall. Enter your delivery date and embed it wherever the team actually looks.

Work expands to fill the time available. A number that shrinks every day is the cheapest argument against that anyone has invented.

  • A 90 day deadline is about 65 working days once weekends come off. That is a third less than the calendar suggests.
  • Two week sprints mean a quarter holds about six of them, and the last one is never the calm one.
  • Set the target time to the actual cutoff hour, because 5pm Friday and midnight Friday are not the same deadline. 📌

Questions people ask

Can the whole team see the same number?

Yes. Share one link, or embed it on the team page. Everyone sees it on their own clock.

Can I count down to a cutoff time, not a whole day?

Yes. Set the exact hour with the target time control.
