## What is Days Ahead?

Name the day. Days Ahead finds the photograph for it. You never go looking.

The holiday. The birthday. The wedding. The last day of term.

Type a name and the app suggests the picture and the emoji to go with it, so a countdown ends up looking like the thing you are actually waiting for.

Every widget. Every style. Free.

Six widget styles, every Home Screen size including extra large on iPad, all three Lock Screen shapes, two Control Centre buttons and a Live Activity for the last stretch. None of it sits behind a paywall and none of it ever will. Pin the one countdown that matters, or a rolling list of what is next.

It taps you on the shoulder

Reminders at any of nine moments, from a hundred days out to the morning of, and as many as you like on a single countdown. Free.

Send the countdown, not a screenshot

Share a countdown as a story card or a square, or as a link that opens the live count on somebody else's phone. No account needed at either end.

The whole year, at a glance

A month calendar where each day wears its own photograph. Collections for grouping the ones that belong together. Import birthdays and dates straight from your calendar. Repeat weekly, fortnightly, monthly or yearly, and keep counting up once the day has passed.

Made to look like yours

Thirty typefaces, twenty-four gradients, every emoji, four numeral faces, and a photograph from your own library on any countdown. Built for iPhone and iPad, with a proper three-column layout on the bigger screen. Everything syncs over iCloud.

What is free

Three countdowns, and every single thing above.

What Pro adds

Four things, and only four:
- Unlimited countdowns
- Photo search, so a name finds a picture without you leaving the app
- Six more accent colours
- Fourteen alternate app icons

No account. No ads. Your countdowns live on your device and in your own iCloud, and nobody else can read them.

Days Ahead Pro is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-off lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app and vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple Account settings.
