## What is Faraway Days?

Faraway Days turns the dates you're looking forward to into beautiful painted countdowns you can pin anywhere: your Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy.

Christmas, birthdays, trips, paydays, due dates, anniversaries. Add a countdown, pick a painted scene and an icon, and watch the days tick down (or up) every time you glance at your phone.

PAINTED SCENES FOR EVERY BIG DAY
• Over 90 painted scenes: a snowy Christmas village, a beach holiday, a birthday party, Diwali lights, Hanukkah candles and many more
• Travel and places: city breaks, cruises, safaris, ski trips, plus England, Scotland, France, Italy, Greece, America, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Middle East, India, China, Japan and Australia
• Simple unthemed skies and hills when you just want something calm
• Let Faraway Days match the picture to your icon, or choose your own
• Or go for a bold plain colour instead

READY-MADE DATES, WORKED OUT FOR YOU
• Christmas, Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and New Year
• Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Halloween, Bonfire Night, St Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day
• Diwali, Hanukkah, Eid, Ramadan, Lunar New Year, Holi, Passover, Mid-Autumn Festival and Day of the Dead
• Dates that move each year are calculated for you, so you always get the next one

WIDGETS, EVERYWHERE
• Home Screen widgets in small, medium and large
• Lock Screen widgets: rectangular, circular and inline
• StandBy support for your nightstand
• Pick exactly which countdown each widget shows

THE LITTLE DETAILS
• Says "Today" at zero, handles "1 day" correctly, and uses your local time zone
• Count down to future dates, or count up from past ones
• Repeating events: yearly, monthly or weekly
• Reminders as your big day approaches, plus a nudge on the day
• Share a countdown card with friends

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no ads
• Your countdowns sync through your own iCloud, so only you can see them
