FAQ

Common questions

What happens when the countdown reaches zero?
The segments are replaced with a "Countdown Complete!" message and the timer stops updating.
Does the embed code work anywhere?
It's a plain iframe pointing back at this page with your settings as URL parameters, so it'll work on any site that allows embedding iframes from other domains.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. The countdown itself runs entirely in your browser — nothing is transmitted, logged, or stored.
