  Features

  
  

  Multiple Countdown Timers

  
  Create and manage any number of countdowns from the Admin Control Panel. Each countdown is configured individually and displayed together in a single widget.
  
  

  Widget-Based Display

  
  Uses XenForo's native widget system. Place countdowns in any widget position (forum list, sidebar, nodes, etc.) — no template edits required.
  
  

  Clean, Modern Design

  • Professional card-based layout
  • Subtle lighting and gradients
  • Optional compact mode
  • Fully style-aware (respects your XenForo theme)

  Designed to look exciting without being intrusive.
  
  

  Live Progress Bar (Optional)

  
  Each countdown can display an animated progress bar showing elapsed time:
  

  • Percentage displayed inside the bar
  • Tooltip showing elapsed time vs total duration
  • "Hot" animated glow when nearing completion
  • Toggle per countdown in the ACP

  ⏱ Real-Time Updates

  
  Countdowns update every second using lightweight JavaScript — no page reloads, no polling, no performance hit.

  All options are stored per countdown.
