What's New in Countdown

7.3.1

September 15, 2026

Do more with Siri and Shortcuts: • Create countdowns by voice. Say “Hey Siri, create a new Countdown.” Follow the prompts to set a title, date, and either an all-day event or a specific time. • Find out what’s next. Ask “What's next in Countdown?” to hear what’s coming up and how much time is left. • Open a countdown directly. Say “Open [event name] in Countdown” — for example, “Open Birthday in Countdown.” • Keep your countdowns handy. Ask Siri how long until an event, or say “Show my countdowns in Countdown” to open your full list. • Build your own routines. Add countdown actions to custom shortcuts and automations. We’ve also improved language support, countdown recognition, and reliability for a smoother Siri experience. Have feedback or a feature request? Email me at facundo@findappiness.co.
