Live Countdown Banner Generator

A self-contained, dependency-free countdown banner you can paste into any HTML page, email-friendly Markdown, or static site.

How it works. You give a target instant (date + time + timezone). The generator emits a single <div> block with inline CSS and a tiny vanilla-JS timer that recalcules the remaining days/hours/minutes/seconds every second. No iframes, no external requests, no build step — it just works.

Modes.

• One-shot — counts down to the target, then freezes at zero and swaps the label for your "expired" message.
• Recurring (weekly) — after the target passes, the timer rolls forward by 7-day increments until the next future occurrence. Perfect for weekly livestreams, stand-ups, or sales.

Themes. Five built-in looks (purple gradient, sunset gradient, solid blue, minimal light, dark) — pick one and the matching styles are inlined automatically.

Localization. The labels (Days / Hours / Minutes / Seconds / Finished) are emitted in your chosen language, baked into the snippet. The number formatting itself is locale-neutral.

Embedding. Copy the HTML snippet into a <div> on your page, or use the Markdown render that links to a hosted-style block. Because everything is inline, it survives email clients that strip <style> tags (the JS still runs in browser webviews).
