Count down the days to every big moment: birthdays, trips, weddings, holidays, exams and due dates. Countdown shows each event live, down to the second, and puts it on your home screen with a widget. Live countdowns Days, hours, minutes and seconds, ticking live. Switch any event between days, weeks and hours with a tap. Home-screen widgets Put any countdown on your home screen: one event per widget, small, medium or large, in three styles. Each widget works out the days by itself. On iPhone, widgets need iOS 17 or later; there are Lock Screen widgets too. Days since Count up from a date to follow anniversaries, streaks and milestones in days, weeks or hours. Reached milestones are ticked off. Your own style Choose a colour gradient, a photo from the background packs or one of your own photos. Each countdown gets its category and its occasion art. Reminders Get a reminder 30, 7, 3 or 1 day before, on the day itself and at milestones. Yearly events roll over to next year on their own. Three views Cards, a compact list or a timeline of what is coming. Favourites, 16 categories, search and sorting keep everything tidy.
