Features
Read full description

MyCountdowns keeps the moments you care about in one place—birthdays, holidays, trips, deadlines, appointments, and more—with live countdowns that update as time passes. A clean list and a monthly calendar make it easy to see what’s next or browse what’s already passed. Key features 
• Live countdowns with flexible time units (years through seconds)—you choose what to show.
 • List + calendar views so you can scan everything or focus on a day. 
• Sort by date, title, type, or colour; filter for upcoming or past events.
 • Search by title or notes when your list grows.
 • Colour-coded events and types (e.g. birthday, holiday, deadline, appointment) so patterns pop at a glance.
 • Collections to group events the way you work and live.
 • Alerts you can tune: optional days, hours, and minutes before the event, plus distinct alert sounds (chimes and horns—pick what fits the moment).
 • Notes on events for gifts, travel details, or last-minute reminders. Additional polish
 • Light, dark, or system appearance.
 • Haptics and sound toggles for feedback while using the app.
 • Built-in How To tips so new users get productive fast. Free 
Everything above is included with MyCountdowns: unlimited-style use of core countdown, calendar, organisation, customisation, and in-app alert sound options—no paywall in the app today. Premium
 None. There is no separate Premium subscription or in-app purchase in this version; you get the full feature set as described.
