Finally turns every big date into a beautiful countdown you can check at a glance on your Home Screen, your Lock Screen, and your wrist. Count down. Or count up. Pick any date, past or future. Finally counts the days until what's coming, and the days since what you'll never forget. Anniversaries, milestones, streaks: it works both ways. Birthdays and anniversaries, every year.
