Countdown Bot: Countdowns in Chat

Bot • Handy Tools

About this App

The vacation is a few days away, the launch is soon and the deadline can still be made. Countdown Bot turns vague waiting into a message where the time ticks away before your eyes. ⏳

What it looks like

The bot builds a post with a live countdown. You write your text, drop a time into it, and a message appears in the chat where days, hours and minutes update by themselves.

It suits a product launch, a stream, a birthday or an exam. Everyone in the group or channel sees the countdown.

Inline only

The bot does not hold ordinary conversations. It works in inline mode: in any chat you type its name, then your text, and the bot offers a ready result to send.

That works in private chats, groups and channels, and you do not have to add the bot to a group. ✍️

Setting the time

The time goes into the text as a special tag in days-hours-minutes format between double percent signs. For example, a tag with 05-12-30 means five days, twelve hours and thirty minutes.

Start typing the bot's name in the chat you need.
Write your message text.
Place the time tag where it belongs.
Pick the finished result from the suggestions and send it.

The /help command explains the details and /lang switches the language. 🌐

Where it helps

Launches and announcements. A channel comes alive when followers see how long remains.
Team deadlines. A message in a work chat shows how long until delivery.
Personal dates. Vacation, a wedding, a concert.
Giveaways and promos with a clear end date.

A countdown nudges people to act better than a plain date in text. 🎯

Good to know

The bot is marked as a beta, so glitches can happen. For important events repeat the date in plain text so nobody misses the deadline even if the message does not display as expected.

Do not stack too many countdowns in one channel. When every post shouts three hours left, followers stop reacting. 🔔

Ideas for a channel

A good countdown answers the question of what happens when the time runs out. Say so in the text: registration opens, the broadcast starts, a new issue comes out.

Pin the message so it does not get lost in the feed. After the event, replace it with a recap so an old countdown does not sit at zero.
