COUNTDOWN Enter an atmospheric fictional countdown designed as a cinematic horror entertainment experience for iPhone and iPad. Countdown creates a persistent, locally generated deadline and displays the remaining years, days, hours, minutes, and seconds in real time. Its minimal full-screen interface, pure black presentation, heartbeat audio, optional haptic feedback, and dynamic color changes transform a simple timer into an immersive experience. CORE FEATURES • Atmospheric Feedback: Enable an optional heartbeat synchronized with visible second changes and haptic feedback for interactions and countdown milestones. • Dynamic Countdown: Follow a persistent fictional timeline that updates every second and resumes between app launches. • Last Words: Create, edit, pin, delete, and share private personal notes stored locally on your device. • Local Event Logs: Review a timestamped history of meaningful countdown milestones, notification changes, shared snapshots, sound settings, and vibration settings. • Native Snapshot Sharing: Generate a clean countdown image at your device's screen resolution and share it through the native iOS share sheet. • Offline Experience: Access the countdown, Last Words, logs, and settings without creating an account or maintaining an internet connection. • Permission-Aware Notifications: Receive independent local reminders 24 hours after your latest session begins and one second before the assigned deadline. • Responsive Design: Experience safe-area-aware layouts built for portrait and landscape use across supported iPhone and iPad devices. • Simple Settings: Control heartbeat sound, haptic feedback, and local notifications independently. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Countdown requires no account, login, purchase, or subscription. It contains no advertising, analytics, or cross-app tracking. Countdown data, Last Words, event logs, and settings are processed and stored locally on your device. OPEN SOURCE Countdown is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.
