Hello. I am a beginner with Glide. I am creating a mobile app on the free plan.

I would like to create a countdown in Glide Apps for an event until a specific date and time that includes (Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds). Does anyone know how to do it?

Thank you for your attention.

Theoretically you can create some columns to calculate the difference, but it won’t be “live” - only update every 10 seconds or so.

There might be an external option to do so, I built something like that years ago but when I test it now it doesn’t work anymore.
