An alarm tells you when you're already late. Kumo does the opposite: it shows the time you still have, counting down to your next event before it arrives. Pick events from your existing calendar. Kumo shows a live countdown at the top of your screen and on your lock screen. No math in your head, no surprises once your event arrives. Just a clear amount of focus time sitting in plain sight, so you can settle into what you're doing now with room to breathe. Made for people with time blindness, ADHD, or anyone whose sense of time doesn't run on a clock. How it works: Connect the calendar already on your iPhone Tap one event or several to start their countdowns Watch the time count down on your lock screen and the top of your phone (Dynamic Island) Pick as many events as you like, and Kumo keeps up as your calendar changes: add, move, or cancel something, and your countdowns follow. Works with iCloud, Google, Outlook, and any other calendar in the iOS Calendar app. Your calendar stays yours. Kumo reads your events on your device to show your countdowns. No subscriptions. No accounts.
