About

Year Count

Features
Read full description

Year Count turns abstract time into something you can see and feel. Watch animated progress bars fill in real time for the current year, month, week, and day — then use that clarity to make the hours ahead matter more. At a glance you know exactly how much of 2026 has passed and how much remains. A year-in-weeks dot grid maps every week of the year onto a single screen, so you can see your progress at the scale that actually drives decisions. Quarter and season progress keep you oriented within each stretch of the year. Go deeper with Life in Weeks — a full-lifetime grid calibrated to your birth year. Seeing your life laid out in dots is quietly motivating in a way that calendar apps never are. Custom countdowns let you add any date that matters: a trip, a deadline, a birthday, a goal. Each countdown shows days passed and days remaining alongside its own animated bar, so you always know where you stand. When something strikes you, export a polished progress image with one tap. Share your year progress with a friend, post it as a reminder, or save it as a wallpaper. Features at a glance: - Animated progress bars for year, month, week, and day - Days passed and days remaining for the current year - Year-in-weeks dot grid - Quarter and season progress - Life in Weeks grid - Unlimited custom date countdowns - One-tap shareable progress image - No account required, no ads

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Year Count at none against SelfTalking's 1. Year Count also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
