Big Day

Big Day turns the dates you're excited about into bright, glanceable countdowns you can pin anywhere — your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy. Holidays, birthdays, trips, paydays, due dates, anniversaries — add a countdown, give it a colour and an icon, and watch the days tick down (or up) every time you glance at your phone. WHY BIG DAY • Start free — create your first countdown and pin it as a widget, no account needed. • Beautiful, brightly-coloured cards that look great on any screen. • The little details other countdown apps get wrong: it says "Today" at zero, handles "1 day" correctly, and uses your local time zone — never UTC. WIDGETS, EVERYWHERE • Home Screen widgets in small, medium, and large. • Lock Screen widgets — rectangular, circular, and inline. • StandBy support for your nightstand. • Configurable: pick exactly which countdown each widget shows. MAKE IT YOURS • Curated colour palette for every countdown. • Icon and emoji picker. • Widget styles: number, progress ring, progress bar, or photo background. • Adjustable text size and legibility. COUNT DOWN — OR UP • Countdowns to future dates, and "days since" counters for the past. • Repeating events — annual, monthly, or weekly. • Local reminders as your big day approaches, plus a day-of nudge. TEMPLATES & SHARING • Seasonal and holiday template gallery — browse and add in a tap. • Export a shareable countdown card for any event. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no ads. • Your countdowns sync automatically through your own iCloud — free, login-less, and only you can see them. We never receive your data. BIG DAY PLUS Unlock the full colour library, photo-background widgets, shareable countdown cards, and unlimited countdowns with a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Your free countdown and widgets keep working either way. Questions or feedback? Email coraliadigital@icloud.com — we read everything.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ArmME Security App at none against Big Day's 2. ArmME Security App also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Big Day's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
