## What is Polariss?

Keep the days you look forward to on your Home Screen.

Your next concert. The trip you just booked. An anniversary or a birthday that matters.
Polariss is a countdown app that keeps those dates close, with the days left visible in the app and on your Home Screen.

◆ Make the wait part of the fun
Add a concert when you get your tickets, or a vacation when you book your trip. You can also count down to an exam or race day. Keep the date and notes together in each event's details.

◆ A little something to look forward to, every day
Basic countdown and calendar widgets are free. Choose the event you want to see on your Home Screen. Getting-started guides help you create your first event and set up a widget.

◆ Start free
Save up to 3 upcoming events and keep past events as memories without a limit. Event editing, categories, sorting, basic reminders, and iCloud sync are also free.

◆ Share the excitement
Create a countdown card or a widget-style image to share on social media or in a message. Save the image and look forward to the day together.

◆ Reminders and sync
Get a reminder the day before and on the day of an event. Turn notifications on or off and choose the default reminder hour. Sync events and notes with iCloud.

◆ Polariss Pro — make it yours
A one-time purchase unlocks unlimited upcoming events, 6 additional themes for individual events, and custom widget background, text, and accent colors.
Keep up to 3 events together in a Medium widget or 6 in a Large widget. Add a countdown to your Lock Screen with circular, rectangular, or inline widgets. Preview the appearance in the app before purchasing.

No ads. No subscriptions. Free features remain available without purchasing Pro.

Event titles, notes, and dates are not sent as usage analytics events.
