## What is Countdown?

The private, pay-once countdown app with beautiful widgets and built-in planning.

Countdown turns the days until life's best moments into something you'll look forward to seeing.

Create a countdown for anything - a holiday, a birthday, a wedding, a concert, a trip home - give it a beautiful background, and watch the days tick down right on your Home Screen and Lock Screen.

FEATURES

• Home & Lock Screen widgets - put any countdown where you'll see it, in every widget size.
• Beautiful backgrounds - choose a built-in theme, a color, a gradient, or your own photo. Drag the photo to frame it exactly how you want.
• A clear, bold day count - with hours and minutes as the moment gets close.
• Checklists - add a to-do list to any event (packing, planning, tasks) and watch your progress on the widget.
• Locations - attach a place to an event and tap through to Maps for directions.
• Reminders - get a notification a week before, the day before, or on the day itself.
• Repeats yearly - birthdays and anniversaries roll over to next year automatically.
• Share your way - AirDrop a countdown to a friend, or post a beautiful countdown card to Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat.
• iCloud sync - keep your countdowns in sync across your devices, privately.
• Import from Calendar - turn any upcoming calendar event (and its location) into a countdown.
• Backup & restore - keep your countdowns safe and carry them between devices.

PAY ONCE. NO CATCH.

One simple price, everything included. No subscriptions, no ads, no in-app purchases, and nothing hidden behind a paywall - every feature is yours from the moment you buy.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Everything stays on your device, and if you turn on iCloud sync it's stored only in your own private iCloud - never on our servers.

Start counting down to what matters.
