# init(timerInterval:countsDown:label:) Creates a progress view for showing continuous progress as time passes, with a descriptive label. ``` nonisolated init(timerInterval: ClosedRange, countsDown: Bool = true, @ContentBuilder label: () -> Label) ``` ## Parameters `timerInterval` The date range over which the view progresses. `countsDown` A Boolean value that determines whether the view empties or fills as time passes. If `true` (the default), the view empties. `label` An optional view that describes the purpose of the progress view. ## Discussion Use this initializer to create a view that shows continuous progress within a date range. The following example initializes a progress view with a range of `start...end`, where `start` is 30 seconds in the past and `end` is 90 seconds in the future. As a result, the progress view begins at 25 percent complete. This example also provides a custom descriptive label. ``` struct ContentView: View { let start = Date().addingTimeInterval(-30) let end = Date().addingTimeInterval(90) var body: some View { ProgressView(timerInterval: start...end, countsDown: false) { Text("Progress") } } } ```  By default, the progress view empties as time passes from the start of the date range to the end, but you can use the `countsDown` parameter to create a progress view that fills as time passes, as the above example demonstrates. The progress view provided by this initializer uses a text label that automatically updates to describe the current time remaining. To provide a custom label to show the current value, use [`init(value:total:label:currentValueLabel:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ProgressView/init(value:total:label:currentValueLabel:)) instead. > Note: Date-relative progress views, such as those created with this > initializer, don’t support custom styles. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
