WishTracker

Put what you want — and how long until it matters — right on your Lock Screen. WishTracker turns your Lock Screen into a live wishlist. Add something you want, glance at it every time you check your phone, and if it's tied to a date — a birthday, a holiday, or just "someday" — watch the countdown tick down without opening an app. HOW IT WORKS • Add a wish: a name, and an optional date • Place it on your Lock Screen as a widget — no date needed if you just want a running wishlist • Add a Home Screen widget too, if you'd rather see it there • Each widget shows one wish, so add as many as you have wishes for WHY LOCK SCREEN Most wishlist apps make you open them to remember what you wanted. Most countdown apps only do countdowns. WishTracker puts both on the one screen you already look at dozens of times a day — no unlocking, no app to remember to open. THE FIRST WEEK IS ON US When you first open WishTracker you'll see what Pro unlocks. Skip that screen — any way, including just dismissing it — and you still get a full week of Pro free: unlimited wishes and widgets, no purchase needed. After that week, WishTracker requires Pro to keep adding and viewing wishes. There is no permanently free tier — we'd rather tell you that upfront than have you find out later. WishTracker is a simple, focused tool. It does one job — wishlist and countdown, on your Lock Screen — and does not try to be a shopping app, a group-gifting coordinator, or a notification service. SUBSCRIPTION & PURCHASE DETAILS WishTracker Pro is available as: • Monthly — $4.99/month • Yearly — $19.99/year, including a 7-day free trial • Lifetime — $59.99 one-time purchase (not a subscription) Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
