A minimal always-on-top desktop countdown timer built with Python and tkinter. Set a title and duration, then a frameless HUD overlay floats on your screen while you work.
- Frameless, transparent overlay that stays on top of all windows
- Custom title and duration (hours, minutes, seconds)
- Draggable — click and drag to reposition anywhere on screen
- Right-click to exit
- Python 3.x
pip install customtkinterpython countdown-widget.py- Enter a title and your desired countdown duration
- Click Start — the input window disappears and the HUD appears
- Drag the timer wherever you want on screen
- Right-click the timer to exit
I wanted a way to track how long I had left on game events with a simple countdown widget on my desktop.
