Get an email when a countdown arrives

County emails everyone on a list within about a minute of a countdown reaching zero.

Updated October 3, 2026

When a countdown reaches zero, County sends an email to the list's owner and to everyone the list is shared with. There's nothing to switch on — sharing a list is what puts someone on it.

When it's sent

County checks once a minute, so the email arrives within about a minute of the countdown reaching zero.

Who gets it

Each person gets their own email, in the language they chose in County. Nobody sees anyone else's address.

When no email is sent

A countdown whose date had already passed when it was added never counted down, so it doesn't send anything. County also won't announce a countdown that reached zero more than a day ago.
