## What is Countdown Me?

Create an event or select one from your calendar and track the remaining days on your home screen  (or on your lockscreen on latest iOS) using widgets, or on the app icon’s badge. See the remaining days (minutes, seconds) without even opening the app.

Countdown Me lets you

- see a list of your countdowns without opening the app on your lockscreen (new on iOS 16), on your homescreen using widgets.
- see the remaining days to your most important event without opening the app on the app icon’s badge.
- create a new countdown quickly by selecting an existing event from your calendar or create a new event in the app
- create an alert for an upcoming event.
- see detailed countdowns: not only days, but also hours, minutes and seconds. You can enable this inside the app in Settings.
- share countdowns with your friends & family

Notes:

We use Apple PUSH Notification technology for updating the app icon’s badge number. In other words, for the feature to work, you should connect to the internet regularly. This is a limitation imposed by Apple — there is no other usable way of changing the badge number. The rest of the app’s functionality works also without internet connection.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-01-08, version 2.5.5*

Best app ever.!  I’ve been using it for years. Great job!

### 5/5 — Brilliant app that simply countdowns

*2024-04-29, version 2.5.3*

Such a great app that I’ve been using for many many years! It literally gives you a clear countdown to an event and now can show them as widgets. It’s perfect and I use it all the time! Thank you to the developer!

### 4/5 — Widgets problem! :(

*2023-11-07, version 2.5.1*

Dears :(

After your last update, 2.5.1 I lost managing making multiple widgets countdowns for different occasions 😭😭😭

Now, all widgets for ONE occasion only, which is the one I selected to be the default one :/

Please fix this issue ☹️

I’ve been using this app since it got launched 🥺

### 5/5 — Me again

### 5/5 — Brilliantly simple

*2017-08-04, version 2.3.1*

When you just need a quick glance at your screen to know how many days until your next important event or calendar import, this is the best I have found.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-10-20, version 2.3*

I wanted an app that counts down the number of days (not in hours, minutes, seconds - just days). This is an easy to use, basic app that does the job. Love it! I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I recommend it!

### 5/5 — Simple and Great

*2016-10-08, version 2.3*

Very simple
Great interface 
Easy to use 
Excellent integration with calendar
