Count down to birthdays, vacations, weddings, anniversaries, holidays, launches and deadlines, and see how many days are left at a glance on your Home Screen, your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Count Down to Anything Create a countdown in seconds: pick a date and time or make it all-day, choose its colors and style, and add notes. Set events to repeat every day, week, two weeks, month or year, so birthdays and anniversaries roll over on their own. Start from a template to count down to the end of the year, season or month in one tap. See Your Progress Show the time remaining or the percentage of progress, and set a start date to measure progress from any moment you like.
