Await is a simple countdown app that helps you stay focused on the dates that matter most. Pick any future date and Await turns it into a clean, visual countdown you can see at a glance in the app and on your widget. Whether you are counting down to a trip, birthday, event, deadline, or milestone, Await keeps the remaining days front and center with a minimal design that feels calm, clear, and easy to use.
