## What is Simple Countdown Widget App?

Simple Count is the easiest way to count down to the moments you're looking forward to most — vacations, birthdays, weddings, concerts, holidays, and everything in between.

Every widget is free — Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Dynamic Island. Nothing to unlock, nothing to subscribe to.

Add a photo, choose an emoji, and bring your countdowns to life with beautiful widgets on your Home Screen. Every time you unlock your phone, you'll see exactly what you're excited about next.

SHARE THE EXCITEMENT

Count down together. Share any event as a beautifully designed card, perfect for social media or sending to friends and family. You can also share a link so others can instantly add the event to their own Simple Count app. Need to share multiple events? Select several countdowns and send them all at once.

FEATURES

• Every widget free — no ads, no subscription, nothing to unlock
• Beautiful Home Screen widgets in multiple sizes
• Lock Screen widgets and Live Activities with Dynamic Island support
• Notifications on the day of your event
• Celebrate past events instead of hiding them away
• Available in 12 languages, switch anytime in Settings
• No account required — your data stays on your device and your own private iCloud backup; we never see it
• iCloud backup — your countdowns survive app deletion and new phones, automatically
• Repeating events — daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom patterns like "the 3rd Sunday of each month"
• Countdown reminders — days, hours, or minutes before each event
• Notes on events — keep tickets, addresses, or plans right with the countdown; they travel with shared events
• Search — find any countdown by name, note, or emoji (use the same emoji as a tag to group events)
• Pro: Custom photo backgrounds for every event card

Whether you're counting down to your dream vacation, a special celebration, or your best friend's birthday, Simple Count keeps the excitement alive every day.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1.4 — 2026-08-16

Fixed repeating countdowns set to a custom interval, such as every 2 days, that showed "Every day" instead of the actual days remaining.
Notifications now show your event's time, and their wording fits every kind of countdown - appointments and deadlines, not just celebrations.

### 2.1.3 — 2026-08-07

Fixed a background crash that could occur while Simple Count refreshed Live Activities.

### 2.1.2 — 2026-07-19

Fixed a bug where tapping a shared countdown could just open Simple Count without adding the event. Shared events now import the first time you tap the link, even when the app wasn't already open.

### 2.1.1 — 2026-07-17

Fixed a bug where a note written while creating or editing an event could be lost instead of saved. Notes now save reliably wherever you add them.

The event editor also asks before discarding unsaved changes, so a stray swipe can no longer lose an event you were still writing.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-07-14

NEW: iCloud Backup! Your events, notes, and photos are now backed up automatically to your own iCloud — delete the app or switch to a new iPhone, and everything comes right back. Still no account, and still private: the backup lives in your personal iCloud, where we can't see it. Turn it off or delete it anytime in Settings.

NEW: Notes! Add a note to any event — tickets, addresses, packing lists — and view or edit it right on the countdown screen with the new note button. Notes travel with shared events too.

NEW: Search! Find any countdown instantly by name or note — or search by emoji: mark all your birthdays with the same emoji and pull them up together, like tags.

Plus: keep Simple Count in a widget Smart Stack and iOS now brings it to the top on its own as your event gets close — and follow us on Instagram from Settings (@simplecountdownapp).
