## What is Countward?

Some dates carry more weight than others. The trip you have been saving for. The wedding. The last day of a long project.

A calendar tells you when they are. Countward tells you how close they are.

START WITH A SINGLE DATE
Type what you are counting toward, pick the day, save. That is the whole setup. Emoji, tags, notes, checklists and reminders are all there when you want them, and completely out of the way when you don't.

SEE IT WITHOUT OPENING THE APP
Small, medium and large Home Screen widgets, including a tile that holds two countdowns side by side. Lock Screen widgets that sit above the clock. A full StandBy view for the bedside. Add a countdown straight from Control Centre, the Action Button, or Siri.

COUNT THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY THINK
• Working days only, with a work week you define, so deadlines match how you work
• Hours instead of days once the moment is close
• Counting up after the event, for the days since that are worth keeping
• Yearly and monthly countdowns that roll forward on their own

ARRIVE PREPARED
Reminders one week, three days and one day before, and on the morning itself, at a time you choose. The wording is human: "One week away." "Tomorrow." "Today is the day."

KEEP EVERYTHING WITH THE DATE
Notes and a checklist live inside each countdown, so the packing list sits with the trip and the guest list sits with the wedding.

MAKE THE LIST YOURS
Pin what matters to the top. Sort by soonest, newest or name. Filter to what is coming soon, and search once the list grows. Give each countdown an emoji or a cover photo so you recognise it instantly.

SHARE THE MOMENT
Send a countdown to family and it arrives in their list with the date, notes and repeat intact. Or export a share card for a message or a story.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
No account. No sign-up. No tracking, no third-party analytics. Your countdowns sync across your own devices through your private iCloud, and go nowhere else.

DESIGNED FOR IPHONE
Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support throughout, so the number stays readable however you read.

Add one date. You will add the rest.
