A lightweight and customizable countdown timer widget for Elementor with live preview support.

== Description ==

**Countarium - Countdown Widget for Elementor** adds a simple yet powerful countdown timer widget to Elementor, allowing you to display time-based urgency elements on your website without writing any code.

The widget lets you set a target date and automatically displays the remaining days, hours, minutes, and seconds in real time. It is fully responsive, highly customizable, and integrates seamlessly with the Elementor editor for live preview editing.

You can also define a custom message that appears when the countdown expires, along with full control over typography, colors, and alignment.
