Countdown & Widgets

Countdown shows how many days are left until the dates you care about. It is free, and so is every feature in it: no subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads. Add an event, give it a date, an icon and a color, and it becomes a card with one big number: the days to go. On the day it reads Today. Afterwards it counts up, so you can see how long ago it was. EVERYTHING INCLUDED • Every widget, every icon, every color and every reminder comes with the app. • Nothing to unlock and nothing to subscribe to. • No ads, no account and no tracking. EVENTS • A name, a date, one of 123 icons and one of 12 colors for each event. • Upcoming events first, soonest at the top. Past events in their own section. • Whole days only. The count changes at midnight, wherever you are. WIDGETS • Small: one event in its own color. Pick the event, or let it follow your next one. • Medium: your next event, and the two after it. • Large: your next six events. • Lock screen: circular, rectangular and inline, each for one event. • Tap any event in a widget to open it. REMINDERS • Choose any of six for each event: on the day, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks or 1 month before. • They arrive at the time you set, 9:00 AM to begin with. • Tap a reminder to open its event. IPHONE AND IPAD • Events sync through your own iCloud. There is nothing to sign in to. • Add an event on one device and it appears on the other. • Without iCloud, everything still works on the device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your events are kept on your devices and in your own iCloud, where only you can read them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdown & Widgets at none against Chuck's 10. Countdown & Widgets also leads on ads (none vs shown). Chuck's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
