Is tickward free as a countdown timer for website pages?
For website pages, tickward is free and open source, with unlimited timers for dates you publish.
Countdown timer for website pages that need a date
A countdown timer for website pages helps visitors understand when something starts, opens, or ends. Use tickward to embed countdown timer views with an iframe snippet, and create the timer without an account.
Set a target date, target time, and timezone in the browser, then place the shared timer on the page where it belongs. You can keep one timer local or sign in when you want synced editing across devices.
Embed a countdown timer for website pages
tickward gives shared timers an iframe snippet, so the countdown can live inside a landing page, event page, documentation page, or store page. Visitors see the countdown in place.
The timer is created in the browser, and you do not need an account to start. Sign in later only if you want the timer synced across devices.
Use one timer across page updates
When the target date changes, update the timer instead of rebuilding the page component from scratch. The embed can keep pointing at the same shared countdown.
Projects and spaces help when you manage timers for several pages, campaigns, or client sites at the same time.
