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. Whether you are planning a vacation or remembering a special moment, Countdown keeps everything organized.
TAEL Counting

TAEL is a simple app for counting events. This could be anything from visits to the bathroom to how many times you eat candy. Everyone has something different they need to count. The app provides an overview of past events and averages pr. day, week, month and year. The next time the doctor asks you have many drinks you have per week, you can know the answer, if you want to. Currently events are persisted on the device only so they will be deleted if you delete the app.
