Countdown Widget Generator

How the embed works

The snippet is two lines: a div holding your target date, and a single shared script tag that finds any countdown div on the page and keeps it updating live, once a second, with no other dependencies. You can drop the same script tag once on a page with several countdown widgets on it — it powers all of them.

The widget renders entirely in your visitor's browser; nothing is sent to EpochKit's servers, and there's no tracking or analytics attached to it. The small "via EpochKit" credit line is the only thing it adds beyond the numbers themselves — feel free to leave it, since that's what keeps the tool free to keep building.

If you'd rather have a countdown living only on this site rather than embedded elsewhere, the homepage Countdown Builder does that without needing to touch any code.
