tickward is an open-source countdown timer app for deadlines, launches, trips, and personal milestones. It was built for people who want important dates to stay easy to see without scanning a busy calendar view.
The app turns each date into a clear countdown. Users can group timers into projects and spaces, pin the dates that matter most, and use focus mode when one deadline needs full attention.
Time-zone support is useful for people who travel, live across more than one country, or follow events scheduled somewhere else. tickward runs at tickward.com, is AGPL-3.0 licensed, and can be self-hosted. API, webhooks, and MCP are available for automation.
tickward keeps important dates easy to see. It turns deadlines, launches, trips, and milestones into countdowns you can organize, pin, share, and open in focus mode. The app is open source, runs at tickward.com, and can be self-hosted.
tickward started from a simple problem. A calendar can show when something happens, but it can still be hard to see what needs attention next. tickward turns important dates into clear countdowns, so deadlines, launches, trips, exams, birthdays, and milestones are easier to track.
Timers can live in projects and spaces, so work and personal plans stay separate. Important dates can be pinned. Focus mode gives one countdown the whole screen when a deadline needs attention.
Time zones are there for travel, life across countries, and events scheduled elsewhere, such as a US launch time followed from Europe. tickward is open source under AGPL-3.0, hosted at tickward.com, self-hostable, and includes API, webhooks, and MCP for automation.
