The Countdown App was created as a tool to help people stay present. Being aware of how much time you have left can be a powerful motivator! There are two primary features: On your dashboard you will see how many days you have left to live. On the bottom of your dashboard you can set up spotlights to track whatever you’d like to countdown. This could be the number of family vacations you have left, summers before the kids are grown or even the number of days until the Super Bowl. Get creative!
