I want to create countdown timer according to this, but it doesn’t work well.  
In this case, which component should I use?  
Do I have to upgrade?

Also, what kind of data should I enter right “math column”, " Date + 2"？

Thank you very much.

Are you on Glide Apps or Glide Pages? Can you show us some screenshots of your setup?

I’m creating Glide Apps.  
Every time I follow the movie, Countdown timer doesn’t appear.

[Custom countdown - Custom Code - Glide Community (glideapps.com)](https://community.glideapps.com/t/custom-countdown/38574)

I want to know what kind of formula I should enter "Data\*2"column, shown on the first image.  
Also, I can’t understand which component is used, shown on the second image.

I have a CSS countdown for apps:

> **[3 min countdown](https://countdown-demo.glideapp.io)**
>
> CSS blocking elements, digital timer

And a delay action blocker:

> **[Delay Action - DEMO](https://delay-action-demo.glideapp.io/dl/d0a5f4)**
>
> delay actions by blocking screen for a specific time

Glide Java will not work for countdowns… you can’t apply it with HTML… what they did in the images you are showing… is a web view component.

I apologize for asking multiple times. Can this be done on the free plan?

Yes… all my apps are made on the free plan.

This is the new one for Pages:

> **[2 min countdown](https://2-min-countdown.glide.page)**

The one you are showing the link to, is for Classic Apps; it won’t work on Pages.
