Countdown Fred vs PocketFacts

Countdown Fred keeps the dates you are looking forward to where you can actually see them. Add the moments that matter — a holiday, a birthday, a wedding, a gig, the first day of something new — and Countdown Fred turns them into a clean grid of colourful cards, always sorted so the next one comes first. No accounts. No feeds. No clutter. Just how long until the good stuff. MAKE EVERY EVENT YOURS • Give each event a name, a date and one of eleven symbols • Choose from four card colours • Cards sort themselves by date, so what is next is always at the top • Tap any card to edit it or take it off the list DAYS OR WEEKS One tap switches the whole app between days and weeks. "45 days" or "6 weeks 3 days" — however you naturally think about time. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN • A small widget for your next event • A medium widget showing what is next plus two more coming up • The widget takes on the colour of your next event • Refreshes itself every day, so the number is always right MADE TO BE LOOKED AT • Flat, friendly design with rounded type and soft colour • Light and dark mode are each designed properly, not one inverted copy of the other • Quick to open, quick to add, then out of your way YOURS ALONE Everything stays on your iPhone. There is no account to create, nothing to sign in to, no tracking and no analytics. Your events are nobody else's business.
