Track a single point in time. Setting the date/time to the past will count upwards to show you the time since the event has occurred. Setting the date/time to the future will countdown until the event. You will receive a notification at the point of the event (if permissions are granted). You can track point in time from the: - Dynamic island (on supported devices) - Live activity on the lock screen - Lock screen widgets - Home screen widgets Examples: - Countdown until Christmas - Time since you called mum - How long left until your birthday - How long since you've planted those seedlings - Months left until that big vacation - Years since you've touched a cigarette - Days left until the next Genshin Impact release - Days since you've had a cuddle - How long until the next Doctor Who episode - How long you've been alive for This app is deliberately minimalistic to allow you to only track just a single moment in time, your most important moment.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Point in time at none against Countdown Widget & Counter's 10. Point in time also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%). Countdown Widget & Counter's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 5) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown Widget & Counter sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Point in time asks for nothing beyond the download.
Countdown Widget & Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Widget & Counter has 2.5K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Countdown Widget & Counter's written reviews are positive against 100% of Point in time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
