How to Add a Countdown to Notion
There is no automatic countdown widget here, so start with what does work. Because you edit a widget in one place and every page embedding it updates, a manual countdown costs you one character a day rather than a round of page edits. Put fourteen days to launch in a text widget and change the number when it moves.
The drawn version
For more presence, draw it. A number on a transparent PNG in the image widget, swapped when it changes. This is how the countdowns in the good looking template screenshots are usually made, and people assume there is a clever widget behind them.
The scrolling version
The marquee widget does the same job moving, if you want it running across the top of a page rather than sitting still.
What none of it does
It does not tick down on its own. The text widget has live time codes, (hour), (minute), (second), (day), (month), (year), but no target date code. You can show today's date live beside a fixed target and let the reader subtract, which is fine for a launch six weeks out and useless for a two hour deadline.
Need a real ticking one today? Any external countdown with an embeddable link drops into Notion the same way ours would. The /embed block does not care whose page it loads.

Where to find one meanwhile
Some widget tools do have an automatic countdown, Indify among them, and we would rather say so than let you hunt through our catalogue for something that is not there. If a ticking countdown is the one thing you need, that is the shorter path today.
If it is one element in a page you are already building here, the manual version costs a character a day and keeps everything in one account. Neither answer is wrong; they are different amounts of effort in different places.
