# Overview

<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->

## What it does

Countdown gives launches, events, offers, and deadlines a timezone-aware timer. Editors enter an IANA timezone and target; Capell stores the normalized UTC instant.

## Do I need to do anything?

Add the widget to a page in Layout Builder, complete its fields, and preview the public page before publishing.

## Where it shows up

In Layout Builder, as a Countdown widget. Public output includes a useful absolute time before JavaScript enhances it into a live countdown.

## Good to know

- This free beta extension belongs to Capell Foundation and requires Layout Builder.
- Visual seconds stay hidden from assistive technology and announcements update no more than once per minute.

## Screenshot status

Capture the timezone and target fields plus a public timer showing days, hours, minutes, and the absolute-time fallback. The committed Marketplace card is interim beta artwork until these two fixture captures are recorded.
