## What is JustCountdown?

JustCountdown is a focused, elegant countdown timer designed for Apple Watch.

Set a target date and time, then glance at your progress from your watch face with a responsive complication. Whether you’re counting down to a trip, a deadline, or a special event, JustCountdown keeps you on track with clear, compact time displays.

Highlights
• Simple setup: pick a date and time directly on your watch
• Smart complication: updates more frequently as your event approaches
• Multiple formats: tap the countdown to cycle through views (compact, full units, decimal years/months, weeks+days)
• Favourites: star important targets — they stay pinned and won’t be cleared
• Recent targets: quickly reuse events you’ve set before
• Thoughtful design: readable typography, smooth layout on all watch sizes

Why it’s great
• Glanceable: see what matters, right from your watch face
• Reliable: designed to be power‑friendly while staying informative
• Private: no accounts, no tracking — everything stays on your device

Notes
• Works with supported watch faces and complication slots.
• Secret feature: you can also count UP from dates and times in the past!


## Version history (last 4 releases)

The complication now uses the system timer format when there is less than 25 hours remaining.
So, for less than 25 hours, you will see a live updating timer in the complication.
Also improved the reliability of updating the complication when starting a countdown.
