A Free Full-Screen Event Countdown You Can Download as HTML

Event screens often need one thing: a big countdown that fills the display and does not depend on a server.

I built a small generator that produces a standalone HTML file:

  • set event name and date/time
  • preview it in the browser
  • download a single HTML file
  • open it on the event screen, offline

Try it: https://www.mengstone.com/countdown/

What it is not

It is not a multi-screen stage timer with remote control. There is no sync, no backend, no accounts. If you need an operator to start/pause every screen, use a dedicated stage timer.

Why standalone HTML

A single file is easy to hand to a venue, put on a laptop, or keep as a backup when the network is bad. The countdown keeps working offline.

For a launch stream, a meetup, or a classroom, that is usually enough.
