## What is Retirement Countdown+?

Retirement Countdown+ tells you exactly how long you have left - and unlike a plain countdown, it knows the difference between days and days at work.

A WORKDAY COUNT THAT IS ACTUALLY RIGHT

Most countdown apps count calendar days and stop there. This one takes off your weekends, your public holidays for every year until your date, and the vacation and PTO you have booked - and it understands real working patterns, including a 9/80 schedule, four on four off, or any rotation that repeats. It will tell you how many hours you have left at work, which is the number worth quoting when someone asks.

YOURS TO LOOK AT

Six themes, each one a different world with its own typeface and its own horizon behind the countdown: Coast, Night Shift, Golf Course, Garden, Last Light and Quiet Library. Three are dark. Or use a photo of your own as the background. No paying per wallpaper.

A REASON TO CHECK IT

A different quote every morning, a check-in streak, and the milestones worth marking on the way out - including your last working Christmas.

SOMETHING WORTH SHARING

Turn your countdown or the day's quote into a card and send it to whoever keeps asking when you are finishing.

IT DOES NOT END AT ZERO

On the day, the app says congratulations. After it, it counts up, so you can see how long you have been free.

ALSO INCLUDED

- A bucket list for the things retirement is actually for
- A daily reminder, if you want one
- Backup and restore, so a new phone does not cost you your countdown
- Works in your own language and date format

NO ADS. EVER.

Not during the free trial, not after. Seven days free, then one payment and it is yours for good. No subscription.

WHAT STAYS FREE

Your day count never stops. The number of days until your date keeps working whether you buy or not, so you never lose your countdown.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-11

Buying the full app is one screen now. The price, what you get and one button, instead of a hunt through Setup for it.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-08

Six themes, rebuilt. Coast, Night Shift, Golf Course, Garden, Last Light and Quiet Library - each with its own typeface for the number and its own horizon behind the countdown. Three are dark, including Night Shift for anyone who finishes work in the dark.

Public holidays are now worked out for every year until you retire, not just the first one, so the workday count is right on a long countdown. The app also starts on your own region's holidays and wording.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-02

No release notes.
