If your church live streams its services, you know the pain: manually resetting a countdown timer every single week, or worse, visitors landing on your site and seeing a "We're Live" banner when you're not. Cowntdown solves this with a recurring, auto-resetting countdown widget built specifically for churches.^1
Set up your service schedule — one time slot or a hundred across multiple days — choose a service duration, and Cowntdown takes it from there. When one service ends, the widget automatically starts counting down to the next one, like a playlist that never stops. Styling is fully customizable (fonts, colors, messages, links) so the widget feels native to your site, and embedding takes just two lines of copy-paste code. It works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Churchly, Subsplash, Nucleus, and virtually any other website platform.^1
Cowntdown was created by David Crowson, a worship pastor and SAGU alumnus who also founded Churchly, a church website platform. He built Cowntdown after repeatedly being asked if a self-resetting church livestream countdown existed — and the answer was always "no."^2
