Countdown
One or more countdowns to dates that matter, ticking on the desktop.
What it does
Holds an ordered list of countdowns. Each one points at a date and time and shows how long is left, or how long it has been once the target passes.
Every row shows its label, the absolute target date underneath, and the remaining duration on the right. Each countdown has its own format, so a deadline three months out can read in days while one this afternoon reads in hours and minutes.
The remaining duration renders in tabular numerals, so the digits don’t jitter as they tick.
Hovering a row shows the full local date and time.
Where the data comes from
Nothing external. Targets are stored as timestamps in the widget’s settings and counted against your system clock.
Limits
- Countdowns are passive. They do not alarm, notify or interrupt when they reach zero; they simply switch to counting up. For something that makes a sound, see the Pomodoro widget.
- No recurrence: a countdown targets one moment, not “every Monday”.
- A countdown with no label displays as “Untitled” rather than blank.
