About

Year Progress

Features
Read full description

See exactly how much of this year is gone, how many days are left, and how many days stand between today and every date you care about. Most calendars show you squares on a page. This app shows you time itself: an animated ring that fills as the year moves, a dot grid with one dot for every single day of the year, and a live count of days passed, days remaining, and percent complete. Then it lets you drop your own dates onto that year — birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, deadlines, launch days — and counts down to each one, day by day. Everything is computed right on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no server. WHAT YOU GET - Know the state of your year at a glance, with a progress ring and percentage that move every day - See all 365 days at once in a dot grid, with today highlighted and your own dates marked - Get an exact "X days away" or "X days ago" number for every date you add - Stop re-entering the same dates: repeat any event yearly, monthly, weekly, or on your own interval - Be reminded before it is too late — 7 days, 3 days, or 1 day ahead, or on the day itself - Keep it all organized with categories, colors, notes, pinning, and upcoming/past filters PERFECT FOR - People who feel the year slipping away and want a number instead of a feeling - Anyone who keeps forgetting birthdays and anniversaries until the day after - Students, freelancers, and planners counting down to deadlines and delivery dates - Goal-setters who think in quarters, half-years, and "days left to finish this" WHY NOT JUST USE THE CALENDAR APP? Your calendar answers "what day is it on?" It does not answer "how many days do I have left?" There is no year-completion percentage, no day-by-day grid of the whole year, and no countdown that tells you in one look that a birthday is 12 days out. That is the entire job of this app, and it does that job on one screen. PRIVACY Your dates never leave your iPhone. No account to create, no cloud upload, no analytics profile, no ads, no tracking. Delete the app and the data goes with it. FULL ACCESS The year ring, the 365-day dot grid, the seasonal moments, and your first 5 countdowns are free. Full Access unlocks unlimited events, recurring events, every reminder timing, pinning, notes, custom categories, the Insights screen, and export to .ics calendar or .csv spreadsheet files. It is available as a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. The price is shown in your local currency before you confirm, and a subscription can be cancelled anytime in your App Store settings. Add the one date you have been dreading — or looking forward to — and see the number today.
