## What is Takamaru?

Takamaru is more than a countdown.  
It is a calm space to move toward something that matters.

Choose a date. Add a title. Select an image that represents what you are waiting for. From that moment on, each day reveals one small piece of your image.

One day. One piece.

Behind a clean, structured grid lies your chosen picture. As time passes, the grid slowly opens. What was hidden becomes visible — step by step.

Takamaru is built on a simple idea: Anticipation grows.

Instead of watching numbers drop to zero, you experience progress visually. Each day brings you closer. Each day reveals a little more.

Features:
- Countdown to one meaningful date  
- Custom title and personal image  
- Daily image reveal through a minimal grid  
- Remaining days at a glance  
- Home and Lock Screen widgets  
- Apple Watch app with complications  
- Optional daily reminders  

Each grid cell represents one calendar day. The logic remains stable across time zones and daylight saving changes. If you skip a few days, the app catches up automatically.

Takamaru is calm.  
It does not rush you.
It lets anticipation rise — day by day.

Takamaru – Waiting that grows.
