Day Counter Widget

Features
Read full description

Countdown & Days Since Widget is a simple yet powerful app for tracking time to and since any important event. Easily set up countdowns for upcoming events (birthdays, anniversaries, trips, etc.) with customizable reminders, so you never miss a date[1][2]. Likewise, set a target number of days for a goal and count the days since you started – a great way to stay motivated on your milestones. For example, couples can track days since their first date or anniversary, and anyone can use it to count days since quitting a bad habit or starting a good one. Create beautiful Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets to display your events at a glance. Customize each widget’s look by changing background colors, images, and fonts. Add notes to any event, and set multiple alerts (e.g. one week or one day in advance) so you’re always prepared. Features: - Countdown Timer & Reminders: Countdown to any date and get notified before it happens. - Days Since / Goal Tracker: Count days passed since a milestone or start of a goal (e.g. first date, anniversary, or the day you quit a bad habit or began a new healthy routine). - Custom Widgets: Place widgets on your Home or Lock Screen with custom photos, colors, and fonts. - Event Notes: Add a note or description for each event.
