Countdown helps you track the dates that matter most. Create one-time or repeating countdowns for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, trips, weddings and other events. Repeat events daily, weekly, every two weeks, monthly or yearly. See the remaining time in years, months, days, hours or minutes, and get reminders before the big day. Browse your countdowns in Calendar View. Repeating events appear on each occurrence, and selecting a date shows everything scheduled for that day. Import birthdays from Contacts to create yearly birthday countdowns automatically. Previously imported birthdays are recognized, helping prevent duplicates.
