Countdown timer

Count down to the big moment

A launch, an opening, a sale, closing time, happy hour: a live countdown on every screen builds the moment. Count down to a date and time, or to the same time every day, in flip, digital or minimal style, and choose what happens at zero.

Free plan, no credit card required. Paid plans from €5/month. Plugin version v1.1.

On the screen

What the screen shows

To a date, or daily

One-off events, or a countdown to the same time every day, such as closing time.

Three styles

Flip, digital or minimal, in your colours.

At zero

Show a celebration message, freeze at zero or count up from the moment.

Final-minutes warning

An optional red state marks the last minutes.

Setup

How it connects

01
Set the moment

A date and time, or a daily time.

02
Pick a style and the ending

Flip, digital or minimal; a message, freeze or count up at zero.

03
Push to screen

Add the countdown to a playlist or give it a screen.

Privacy

What reaches the screen

A core widget: nothing to connect and no account behind it. Settings live in your TVpilot account and the widget keeps its last data on the device for at least a day, so a screen that restarts during an outage still shows something useful.

Any TV

Show it on the TV you already own

TVpilot turns the hardware you have into a managed screen: an Amazon Signage Stick with the TVpilot app, a Raspberry Pi with one command, a Fire TV Stick or Android TV, or simply the browser of a smart TV. One player URL per screen, managed from the dashboard.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I count down to closing time every day?

Yes. Choose the daily mode and set the time; the countdown restarts every day.

What happens when the countdown ends?

Your choice: a message such as We are open, a frozen zero, or a count up from the moment.

Can I show a countdown during a video?

The countdown is a slide of its own. Pair it with a message bar under the video for a short line instead.
