How it works

Five steps to your countdown

Pick songs, invite friends, vote, reveal. It's that simple.

1

Create your countdown

Pick a curated song list, set your countdown length (Top 10, 50, or 100), and choose your voting deadline. Takes about 30 seconds.

  • Thousands of tracks across genres
  • Top 10 free, longer with Pro
  • Set any voting deadline
2

Invite your group

Share your countdown link. Drop it in the group chat, Discord, or wherever your crew hangs out.

  • One link — no app download
  • Works on any device
  • Up to 3 members (unlimited with Pro)
3

Browse and shortlist

Everyone explores the song library and builds their shortlist. Take your time — your picks are private until you vote.

  • Browse at your own pace
  • Spotify previews (Pro)
  • Adjust anytime before voting
4

Lock in your votes

Cast your final votes from your shortlist. Once submitted, they're locked in — no take-backs.

  • Votes locked once submitted
  • See who's voted (not what)
  • Email reminders (Pro)
5

Reveal together

Voting closes automatically. Hit play and watch the countdown unfold live at your party.

  • Auto-close at deadline
  • Results hidden until reveal
  • Export to Spotify (Pro)

Two simple roles

Countdown Party keeps things simple with just two roles.

Countdown Owner

The person who creates the countdown. You pick the song list, set the deadline, invite members, and control when the results are revealed. You're the host — it's your show.

Countdown Member

Everyone who joins via the invite link. Members browse the song list, build their shortlist, and cast their votes. Everyone's vote counts equally.
