Nearly There is a countdown for the dates you’re looking forward to. Add a vacation, retirement, holiday, new job, or any day that matters. Browse your list, then open an event to see what’s left. Each event can have its own look — a photo or a color, and an icon that matches. See the time remaining in years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Turn on a workday countdown to count weekdays only, and subtract time off or holidays. Keep notes with the event if you want — flights, plans, whatever helps. They sync through iCloud. When you share an event, notes stay off unless you choose to include them. Share with someone else who uses Nearly There, or add the day to Calendar. On your own devices, events, photos, and notes stay in sync with iCloud. Optional reminders can nudge you as the day gets closer. No ads. No Nearly There account. Just the days between now and then.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nearly There at 100% against IDnotify's 8%. Nearly There also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). IDnotify's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and ratings volume (45 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
