Countdown

Actions Used
Get Time Between Dates
Subtracts the specified date from the date passed into the action. For example, this action could get the number of minutes from now until a calendar event passed in as input.
Stop and Output
Stops execution of the current shortcut, and outputs content. This action is useful when:
• Running a shortcut from another shortcut (using the Run Shortcut action). The output will be used as the output of the Run Shortcut action.
• Running a shortcut from Quick Actions in Finder on macOS. The output will be saved as a file alongside the files selected in Finder.
• Running a shortcut from Services on macOS. The output will replace the selected content, if applicable.
• Or, when running a shortcut from another location that supports output, like the command-line or the Shortcuts URL scheme.
No more actions will be run after this action.
