Title: Simple Countdown Timer – Sales, Launch and Event Countdowns Author: GrandPlugins Published: Mis-Genver 22, 2023 Last modified: Gwynngala 6, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/simple-countdown/assets/banner-772x250.gif?rev=2852583) ![](https://ps.w.org/simple-countdown/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=2852590) # Simple Countdown Timer – Sales, Launch and Event Countdowns By [GrandPlugins](https://profiles.wordpress.org/grandplugins/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/simple-countdown.1.0.6.zip) * [Details](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-countdown/#description) * [Reviews](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-countdown/#reviews) * [Development](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-countdown/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-countdown/) ## Description Simple Countdown Timer adds a countdown to any page or post – for a sale that ends on Friday, a product launch, a webinar, or anything else with a deadline. Build a timer in one click with a target date, or take control of the title, the wording shown when it finishes, and how each segment looks. Place it anywhere with a shortcode. A deadline people can see is the difference between “this is cheaper” and “this is cheaper until Friday”. That is the whole point of the plugin. ### Features * Quick timers – pick a date and get a working countdown in one click. * Custom timers – full control over the setup. * Timer title, and the heading tag it uses. * Custom text shown once the countdown reaches zero. * Hide the segments you do not need, such as seconds or days. * Adjustable segment width and spacing. * Place any timer with a shortcode. ### Pro Pro is for when a finished timer should do something rather than sit at zero, and for sites running more than one countdown at a time. **[Get Pro](https://grandplugins.com/product/simple-countdown-timer/?utm_source=free&utm_medium=readme&utm_content=simple-countdown&utm_term=pro)** | **[Live demo](https://demo.grandplugins.com/simple-countdown/timers-demo/)** * Redirect visitors somewhere else the moment a timer finishes. * Show a sign-up form instead of an expired countdown, and keep the list of who signed up. * A timezone per timer, rather than one for the whole site. * Custom colours for every part of the timer. ### Other Plugins You Might Use Alongside It [Coming Soon Products](https://grandplugins.com/product/woo-coming-soon-products/?utm_source=free&utm_medium=readme&utm_content=simple-countdown&utm_term=woo-coming-soon-products)— tease a WooCommerce product before it goes on sale, which is the other half of a launch countdown.
