Overview
The Countdown app provides pre-configured templates for building simple, fast, and attractive signs. Use the templates as-is, or edit them to reflect your company's designs. Using the templates, you can create signs that count down to a special event like a holiday or meeting. Alternatively, choose a past date and use this app as a "days since" counter to track events such as days since last jobsite injury.
