Countdown Timer – Introduction

A gadget used to count down to a certain occasion is called a countdown timer. They come in a variety of designs, from straightforward mechanical appliances like those seen in kitchens to electronic equivalents that can be downloaded and set up on a PC.

 

A countdown timer is used on many websites to indicate the number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds until a significant event. Some websites offer countdown timer scripts that may be used on individual websites.
