Extended description (about 150 words)

tickward is an open-source countdown timer web app for tracking the dates that matter: deadlines, launches, trips, birthdays, and anything else worth counting down to. Timers are timezone-aware, using ISO dates and IANA timezones, can repeat and count up from past dates, and carry descriptions, images, and pinning. Projects and spaces keep separate areas of life organized.

Sharing is built in. Any timer can be published as a read-only share page, embedded on other sites, and followed from another project. Reminders arrive as device notifications, web push, or full-page alarms. Timer state syncs across devices through restore keys and optional email-code accounts.

For developers and AI agents, tickward provides a versioned public API at /api/v1, API keys, webhooks, and MCP support. The project launched in 2026, is licensed under AGPL-3.0, runs hosted at tickward.com, and can be self-hosted with Docker Compose using PostgreSQL and Redis.
