Simple Notion Countdown Widget
Made just for Notion, this simple countdown widget is clean and minimalistic, and lets you customize several components: the countdown title, whether you show days, hours, minutes, or seconds, dark mode or light mode, the widget background color, and even the color of each of the figures.
Aesthetic Countdown Widget
Indify is a toolbox with several different nifty embeddable Notion widgets to pick from – one of them being an aesthetically pleasing countdown widget! With their generator, create a timer to match your exact aesthetic, with several different appearance options – including the text, and background and text colors! Use your own hex codes to match your Notion workspace perfectly, or even pick from a few of Indify’s pre-built color palettes. Feel free to use the hex codes from any of our pre-made aesthetic color palettes for a unique look!
TimeAndDate Countdown Widget
TimeAndDate has been around for decades, serving up the most important, you guessed it, times and dates for holidays, events, sunset times, and more. They also have a free countdown timer generator to add to your Notion page! It’s super customizable with several different appearance options from the size, to fonts, colors, background images, and more. The main caveat of this widget is that it’s not ultra responsive to different widget sizes, and it has a bit of a dated appearance. However, with some tweaking and fine tuning, you might just be able to get your desired look!
When you’ve created your desired look, click ‘Show HTML for Countdown Timer’ button, then copy and paste the full code into an ‘/embed’ block on your Notion page.
