You don't have to open it to see how many days are left. Datto is a quiet countdown that puts the days until your important dates right on your Home Screen. There is no habit to keep. Put it there once, and every glance tells you how long is left. An exam, a deadline, a birthday, a trip, a move — you add the day only once. ■ What it does (free) ・Counts down the days to the dates you care about (up to three) ・Shows one of them in a Home Screen widget (small) ・12 curated colors, plus any custom color you like ・Text color adjusts automatically to stay readable ・A dark appearance — match your device, or keep it light or dark ■ Datto Pro (a one-time purchase, not a subscription) ・As many widgets as you like — Medium, Large and the Lock Screen too ・Unlimited events ・Repeating events (yearly or monthly, rolling over on their own) ・Milestone reminders (100 days, the day before, the day itself — always silent) ・Hours and minutes as the day gets close ・Categories to keep work, family and trips apart ・iCloud sync — the same days on every device signed in to the same Apple Account ■ Made for you if ・You want to keep a goal in view ・You would rather be watched over quietly than nagged ・You like a Home Screen that looks like yours No account, no ads. What you enter stays on your device. With iCloud sync on, it lives only in your own iCloud. To improve the app, only anonymous usage (such as which screens were opened) is sent. Never your event names, and never your name, email, or advertising ID. You can turn it off in Settings. Simply, the days until yours.
