## What is TickDown?

TickDown puts the moments you're counting toward and the work in front of you on the same screen.

Birthdays, trips, deadlines and launches count down to the second on cards worth looking at. Your tasks sit beside them, with subtasks, priorities and progress you can see at a glance.

COUNTDOWNS THAT LOOK LIKE THE MOMENT
• Live countdowns to the second - days, hours, minutes
• Your own photos or built-in artwork behind every event
• Reposition a photo so the part that matters sits where you want it
• Categories and colors to keep birthdays, work and travel apart
• Repeating events for anniversaries and anything annual

A CALM TASK LIST
• Subtasks with progress that rolls up to the parent task
• Priorities, due dates and per-task reminders
• Auto-archive completed tasks, auto-delete archived ones on your schedule
• An archive of everything you've finished

ONE CALENDAR VIEW
• Countdowns, tasks and your device calendar events together
• Month and agenda views, with your own start-of-week preference
• Calendar access is optional and read-only

REMINDERS THAT ARRIVE
• Event and task reminders, with a choice of alert sounds
• Daily and weekly summaries at a time you pick
• 12- or 24-hour time, matched to your region's date format

WIDGETS (PREMIUM)
• Home Screen and Lock Screen countdowns, refreshed as time runs out
• A tasks widget for what's due today and what's already done

BACKUP YOU CONTROL

• Back up to your own iCloud Drive whenever you like
• Automatic daily backup with Premium
• Restore on a new iPhone or iPad, straight from iCloud or a saved file
• Restoring is always free - your data is never held behind a purchase

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-in, no servers
• Your countdowns, tasks, notes and photos stay on your device
• The core app works entirely offline

TICKDOWN PREMIUM
