What's New in Upcoming

4.3

October 7, 2026

Your widgets, your way. - New widget looks: Simple, Calendar and Snapshot for a quiet Home Screen, plus Page a day, Boarding pass, Departures, Dots and Night sky, alongside Ticket, Stack and Poster - Widget styles: in Settings > Widgets & stickers, make a style for small, medium or large widgets with the look, font, colour and photo you like, then tap Use on my widgets. It restyles the widgets you already have, too - Medium and large widgets can show several countdowns: one big, one with the next ones under it, a list of five, or four at once. Show the next ones up, or only the ones you pick, in your order - Make a countdown without opening the app: ask Siri, “Create a countdown in Upcoming.” The Shortcuts app has a Create Countdown action too - Widgets now wear each countdown's colour and emoji, and tapping one opens that countdown - A countdown's emoji now also shows on its card and on the stickers you send, and you can type any emoji you like - Reminder voices have new names: Chill is now Classic and Unhinged is now Silly, while Playful stays Playful. If you've been using Upcoming, you keep the voice you had - New Count in sleeps switch in Settings: countdowns 30 days away or less are counted in sleeps. If you've been using Upcoming, it's already on, so nothing changes until you turn it off - Keepsakes has its own gallery in Settings: keep the countdowns that have finished, take one back off the shelf, or save it to Photos as an image - Photos you pick now look sharper Thanks for waiting with us.

Simple and actually free

Looks great, easy to use, and doesn't feel cluttered. Crazy that it's all free when similar apps charge for the basics.

Really solid app that’s not behind a paywall

I’ve tried a bunch of countdown apps and most lock the good stuff behind paywalls. This one gives you everything, clean design, widgets, notifications, all free. No ads, no gimmicks. Honestly feels like something Apple would’ve made themselves.

Response from developer

Thanks for the thoughtful review! I'm glad the widgets and reminders have been useful. Version 4.0 keeps those features free and also makes unlimited countdowns, sharing, and iCloud sync free for everyone.

How on earth do you work this?

Response from developer

So sorry to hear about the bad experience. At the time the app was not very stable. If you would like to try it again, I have just released an new version of the app that has been improved significantly since the version 2 years ago.
