A countdown widget for Chrome’s new tab.

Twelve days until the launch, three until the holidays. Startwerk counts the days to any date you choose and shows them on your new tab, so the next big moment never sneaks up on you.

The days that are left, at a glance

Give the countdown a name and a date. Startwerk shows the number of days left, “Tomorrow” the day before, and “Today” when it’s time. Afterwards it tells you how many days ago it happened, until you set a new date.

Use one countdown for a deadline at work and another for your next trip. Each one can live in the Space where it belongs.

Questions and answers

Can I count down to a time of day?
The countdown counts whole days. For hours and minutes, the calendar widget shows “In 20 min” for upcoming events.
Can it count up from a past date?
After the date has passed, the countdown shows how many days ago it was.
Is it a timer?
No. It counts days to a date. For a short break, try the Breathe widget.
