Countdown & Regional Clock is a Jira dashboard app that helps teams keep upcoming deadlines visible and coordinate work across locations and time zones.
Display the time remaining until a launch, release, milestone, meeting, maintenance window, or company event. Add digital clocks for remote offices, customers, partners, or distributed team members so everyone can quickly check the current time and date in each location.
The app helps you answer questions such as:
-
How much time remains until the next release, launch, or milestone?
-
How many weekdays remain before an important deadline?
-
When does an upcoming meeting, event, or maintenance window begin?
-
What is the current time in another office or region?
-
What is the current date for colleagues in another time zone?
-
Is it an appropriate time to contact a remote colleague, customer, or partner?
-
How can we keep an important deadline visible to everyone?
-
How can distributed teams coordinate meetings, handovers, and shared activities more easily?
Key features
Two complementary time perspectives
Use the Countdown Gadget to see how much time remains until a future event.
Use the Regional Clock Gadget to see the current local time in a selected city, region, or time zone.
Together, the gadgets help teams coordinate both upcoming deadlines and day-to-day work across different locations.
Countdown to any date and time
Configure a countdown for any upcoming date and time, such as:
-
Product or project launches
-
Release dates
-
Project milestones
-
Conferences and company events
-
Holidays or team celebrations
Add separate Countdown gadgets when you need to keep multiple deadlines visible on the same dashboard.
Configurable time display
Choose how the remaining time is presented so that the countdown matches the type and proximity of the event.
This makes it possible to create high-level countdowns for long-term milestones or more precise countdowns for launches, meetings, and operational events.
Exclude weekends
Configure the Countdown Gadget not to count Saturdays and Sundays.
This provides a clearer view of the effective weekdays remaining until a milestone or deadline. The option excludes weekends only; it does not automatically exclude public holidays or organization-specific non-working days.
Custom event labels
Customize the gadget title and add text above and below the remaining time.
Digital clocks for different locations
Display the current time for a selected region, city, or time zone in a clear digital-clock format.
This helps distributed teams coordinate their work without repeatedly converting time zones or checking external clock applications.
Custom location labels
Add a meaningful location or team name above each clock.
No Jira data source required
The gadgets do not require an agile board, saved filter, JQL query, project, sprint, or Jira work-item data.
Configure only the relevant date, time, location, label, and display options. This makes the app suitable for both technical and non-technical dashboard users.
