Built a free fullscreen event countdown tool for event managers

I’ve been working in the events space for a while and noticed how often teams rely on messy spreadsheets, browser tabs, or manual clocks to keep track of event timings. So I built a simple free tool that lets you display a fullscreen countdown timer for your events — perfect for backstage screens, live streams, or on-site coordination.

It’s clean, distraction-free, and works directly in your browser (no login, no setup). You just enter your event date and it goes full screen automatically.

Here’s a screenshot of how it looks [attach screenshot]

I’d love your thoughts or suggestions on how to make it more useful for event managers or production teams. Would you find something like this helpful during live events or conferences?

It’s 100% free to use. If you’d like to try it, here’s the link: [insert link]

Thanks in advance for any feedback — I’m trying to make it genuinely helpful for people running events.
