## What is Customizable Countdowns?

Countdowns is a simple, beautiful way to track the moments that matter—birthdays, trips, launches, and everything in between. Create custom countdowns, organize them with tags, and get notified when the big day is close.

What you can do:

- Create and customize countdowns with emoji, color, and notes
- Create unlimited countdowns
- Use tags to group and find events fast
- Add recurring events (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly)
- Get notifications so you never miss a milestone
- Add Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets (Pro)
- Use Live Activities on Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and StandBy (Pro, supported devices)
- Sync across devices with iCloud (Pro)

Pro:
Countdown Pro unlocks widgets, Live Activities, and iCloud sync.
Pro is available as monthly/yearly auto-renewing plans or a one-time Lifetime purchase.
