Requirements

• Joomla 4, 5, or 6
• PHP 8.1 or newer recommended

Use the Countdown tab to choose how time is calculated.

• Fixed deadline: ends on a specific date and time. Optional start date delays counting until that moment.
• Evergreen (per visitor): every visitor gets their own timer lasting the duration you set (days, hours, minutes, seconds). Stored in the browser and optionally restarts when finished.
• Recurring: resets every day or every week at a chosen time (for example 23:59). Ideal for daily deals and happy hours.

Timezone can be Site timezone, UTC, or Visitor local time (fixed and recurring modes).

When Finished options: Hide module, Show message, Redirect to URL, or Count up from zero.

Units

• Show or hide Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds
• Custom labels for each unit
• Leading zeros (for example 05 instead of 5)

Content

• Eyebrow: small label above the headline
• Headline and optional description
• CTA button: text, URL, new tab, and whether to keep the button after expiry

Choose a design under the Layout tab:

• Classic: boxed units
• Cards: elevated digit cards (default)
• Minimal: clean digits with light labels
• Pill: rounded capsule units
• Flip: flip-clock style digits
• Circle: circular progress rings around each unit
• Inline: compact one-line timer for banners and headers

Also configure alignment, gap, separator (colon, pipe, dot, or none), label position, and optional stack-on-mobile.

• Accent, digit, label, headline, and description colours
• Unit background, border colour, and corner radius
• Digit size and weight, label size, unit padding
• CTA background and text colour
• Optional Extra CSS for page-specific tweaks (unsafe rules are stripped)

The front end scales cleanly on phones and tablets: separators hide when units wrap, digits shrink, and padding tightens automatically.

Core

• Fixed, evergreen, and recurring countdown modes
• Seven layouts including Flip and Circle
• Timezone control and flexible expiry actions
• Eyebrow, headline, description, and CTA
• Multiple module instances on one page

Platform
