Countdown panel template

Count down to any date that matters: a launch, exams, a race, a birthday, a vacation.

Days to one date that matters, and how much of the wait is done.

Open Hark (opens in a new tab)

Paste it into Hark’s chat. Hark asks about the gold parts, one short question at a time, then builds the panel on your Home.

The prompt

This is the "Countdown" template from Widget Index. Keep it a Countdown panel, titled "Countdown" unless I ask for a different name. Before you build it, ask me only about the parts marked [ask me], one short question at a time, in plain words that fit a Countdown panel, with two or three concrete options each time. Skip anything you can work out yourself or that has an obvious default. Then build it.

Build me a panel on my Home called "Countdown".

What it shows: one sentence with the headline (like "41 days until launch day."), then days left until [ask me: what i'm counting down to] on [ask me: date], and the percent of the wait done since [ask me: counting from].

Where the data lives: nothing to connect. Count from today's date.

Look: make the face of the panel the design, not a list of numbers. One huge number counting down, with a row of tick marks below that fill in gold as progress grows. Under the visual, one short insight line that tells me what matters right now (like "58% of the prep done"), with a dot colored by urgency: green fine, gold needs attention, red act now. Dark background, gold #DEAB42 accent, small title. One visual and one insight on the face; any extra detail goes below it, never on top.

Rhythm: refresh daily. Re-check the source each time and keep only current values; never invent one.
Use: glance.
