i can’t wrap my head around how to get the difference between the user’s current time, and the specific hour of that day, and then display the time until that hour in a timer that counts down to it.

You can do this with Thunkable blocks but it might be easier to use Javascript. I Googled _time until Javascript_ and found this: [date - JavaScript Time Until - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14764029/javascript-time-until)

I’m on my phone so I’m not sure I can find it now but there are topics about JavaScript on the forums. You use the Webviewer component to load an .html file with a JavaScript script and then send and receive messages.
