How to add the widget

Choose a title and future target date, select the visual style, and copy the generated iframe code. Paste that code into a custom HTML block in WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify, Ghost, or another site builder that accepts iframes. The widget is responsive up to the selected width, so it can shrink to fit a narrower content column.

What the widget contains

Each widget displays the calendar days remaining, a live hours-minutes-seconds clock, the target date, and the title you provide. The calculation runs inside the embedded page, so the host website does not need to update the number each day.

Light and dark themes
Custom accent colour
Compact, standard, and wide dimensions
No account, API key, or external JavaScript package required

Privacy and loading

The iframe requests the DaysUntil embed page when a visitor opens the host page. The widget itself does not ask visitors for personal information and does not expose a custom countdown database record. Standard hosting and analytics processing described in the DaysUntil privacy policy may still apply to the iframe request.

Attribution

The copied snippet includes a small, branded DaysUntil link beneath the iframe. The link is marked nofollow and gives visitors a route to build their own version without treating the widget as an SEO link. Do not place the widget where it obscures navigation or could be mistaken for an advertisement.
