  You have access to the System Date and Time. Its just a matter of some math to determine What the timer needs to start at each time the app runs.

  i already made a timer but i have to set the timer so it start countdown, what i wanna do now is the timer will access system time and will count to the specific date i set and will be default for all users.

  Try sceneAttributes! (well you could use gameAttributes but I always end-up too many..yuck )
  
  add these: (all integers...as that is what device Clock uses)
  targetMonth
  targetDay
  dayDifference
  
  in ActorEditor
  Rule: when (All)
  Attribute: targetMonth = [exp] game.clock.Month
  Attribute: targetDay < game.Clock.Day
  ---ChangeAttribute...[exp] scene.dayDifference To: game.Clock.Day – scene:targetDay
  
  Rules: when
  Attribute: scene.dayDifference = 0
  ---do this & that
  Otherwise:
  Rule:
  Attribute: scene.dayDifference = 1
  ---do this Count(dayDifference).png or whatever
  and so on...

  @a.sharkawy
  well, you do select it as Device>Clock>Day ... but the actual [Exp] in expressionEditor displays: game.Clock.Day
  as do Device>Touch; Mouse; etc.
  
  why? ... who knows
