About Countdown Timers

What is a Countdown Timer?

A countdown timer is a digital or mechanical device that counts down from a specified time interval to zero. Unlike regular timers that show elapsed time, countdown timers display the remaining time, making them perfect for time-sensitive activities, deadlines, and scheduled events where you need to track time remaining rather than time passed.
