## What is Not Long Now?

Not Long Now turns the things you're looking forward to into big, bold numbers.

A vacation in 12 days. Mom's birthday in 3 sleeps. Your wedding in 47 days. Add a countdown in seconds, give it a color or a photo, and watch the number shrink on your Home Screen, your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

BIG NUMBERS, YOUR WAY
• Count in days, weeks, sleeps, or days, hours and minutes
• Or count up: "days since" for days together, days sober, since you moved
• Nine poster-style color themes, or your own photo behind the number
• An emoji or symbol for every countdown
• Birthdays and anniversaries repeat every year automatically
• Quick add Christmas, Thanksgiving, the 4th of July, Easter, payday and more, or pick an event from your Calendar
• Past countdowns move to an archive, so your list stays tidy

WIDGETS WORTH LOOKING AT
• Small and medium Home Screen widgets that roll over at midnight
• Choose which countdown each widget shows, or let it follow whatever's next
• Lock Screen widgets: circular, rectangular and inline (Pro)

THE LAST DAY, LIVE
• In the final 24 hours, open the app and a Live Activity puts a ticking countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island (Pro)

GENTLE REMINDERS
• A nudge one week before, one day before, and on the morning of, at a time you choose
• Milestones: 100 days to go, one month to go, halfway there, and every 100 days for count-ups

ASK SIRI
• "How long until my vacation?" Countdowns work with Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight

SHARE THE EXCITEMENT
• Send a countdown to a friend: they tap the link and it's in their app too
• Or share it as a poster image in Messages or on social

MAKE IT YOURS
• 36 app themes, from Risograph print-shop inks and postcard patterns to sticker-club outlines, neons and pastels
• Text grows with your iPhone's text size setting

ON IPHONE AND IPAD
• Syncs between your devices through your own iCloud

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up, no ads, no analytics. Your countdowns stay on your devices and in your own iCloud
