Plugin details

Mobile Countdown Timer is the essential plugin for adding robust countdown timers to your Bubble applications—especially those that need to keep running in the background.
Key Features:
  • Set custom timer durations: Let users pick any time interval for their countdown.
  • Auto-run capability: Timers start automatically if needed.
  • Unique static IDs: Assign each timer a unique, static ID to ensure accurate tracking and avoid conflicts—crucial for scenarios like fitness apps, quizzes, or reminders. Do not use dynamic IDs unless using a fixed end date/time.
  • Persistent timing: Timer data is stored on the user’s device, so timers continue in the background—even if the user switches to another app and comes back.
  • Fixed end-time support: Perfect for product launches, limited-time offers, or sale countdowns. Use dynamic IDs only when the end date/time is fixed and shared by all users.

Example Use Cases:
  • Fitness app timers that keep counting down when the user leaves and returns.
  • Countdown to flash sale or event, visible everywhere in your app.
  • Quizzes or challenges where time tracking must persist between sessions.

Important!  
Each timer’s unique ID must be static and different across the app to avoid conflicts. Changing the ID dynamically for each load will disrupt the timer’s continuity. For fixed end dates, dynamic IDs can be used, but for user-specific or session-based timers, always keep the ID static.

Get started today and ensure your timers are accurate, persistent, and reliable—no matter how your users interact with your app!

Instructions

IMPORTANT USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unique ID Required for Each Timer  
Every timer in your app must have a unique, static ID. If two timers share the same ID, they will conflict and may not work correctly. Do not dynamically generate a new ID each time unless you are using a fixed end date/time.

2. Setting the Timer  
To set the countdown, use the "Set Time" workflow action. You can define any or all of these fields:
  • Year
  • Month
  • Day
  • Hours
  • Minutes
  • Seconds
Set only what you need—the plugin will use the fields you provide.

3. Starting the Timer  
You have two options:
  • Enable Auto Start in the plugin settings for the timer to start automatically.
  • Or, manually trigger the timer using the "Start Timer" workflow action.

4. Pausing or Stopping the Timer  
To control the timer:
  • Use the "Pause Timer" workflow action to temporarily halt the countdown.
  • Use the "Stop Timer" workflow action to completely stop and reset the timer.

Remember: Always assign a unique, static ID to each timer instance for reliable performance and persistent countdowns!
