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. Customize each countdown with colors, icons and notes, reorder your list, share special events, and check upcoming dates from Home Screen widgets.

Now compatible with iPhone Duo. LiquidCalculator is now Dúo Calculator: fold your iPhone Duo and it's a basic calculator; unfold it and it becomes a full scientific calculator. On any iPhone: a basic or scientific keypad, a unit converter and your calculation history, with a precise math engine. No ads, no account and no in-app purchases. ONE CALCULATOR, TWO SCREENS • Folded: a basic calculator with big keys. In landscape, a compact scientific keypad appears (you can turn it off in Settings). • Unfolded: a 10 × 5 scientific keypad with every function in view; with the screen flat, also programmer mode and a unit converter. • Half open like a laptop, the result sits above the fold and the keypad below it. Open like a book, the keypad splits across both sides of the fold. • Fold or unfold in the middle of a calculation and your work stays put: keys slide to their new places and the new ones appear. • It also adapts to Split View on the inner display. ON YOUR IPHONE • Pick Basic or Scientific from the menu, in portrait or landscape. • Unit converter and History on every model. • iPhone SE and accessibility text sizes keep the big basic keys.

Functions such as sin, ln or e^x are computed with 60 digits of precision and the display shows up to 16. Invalid operations, such as dividing by zero or tan 90°, show a clear error instead of a wrong answer. The engine is checked against an independent reference model on hundreds of test cases.
