Time Progress turns the year, the month, and the day into a progress bar you can actually see — and counts down the days left to everything that matters. Put a widget on your Home Screen and time stops being an abstraction. WATCH THE YEAR FILL UP The overview shows how much of the current year, month, and day has already passed, as a live gradient progress bar with an exact percentage. Tap it to switch between year, month, and day whenever you like. COUNT DOWN TO ANY DATE Create a countdown for a birthday, an anniversary, a wedding, an exam, a trip, a due date, a product launch, a move, or a retirement date. Time Progress shows exactly how many days are left — and keeps counting up after the day passes, so you always know how long it has been. COUNT UP FROM A START DATE Some things are worth measuring forward instead. Give an event a start date and Time Progress counts the days since: a habit you gave up, a streak you are keeping, day one of something, the day you started running, the day you met. The number only grows, in the app and on your Home Screen. PROGRESS EVENTS, NOT JUST COUNTDOWNS Give an event a start date and an end date and you get a progress bar for it: a project, a semester, a vacation, a contract, a training plan, a savings goal, or an event called "A Life of 80 Years". Percentages make long stretches of time feel real in a way a date on a calendar never does. RECURRING EVENTS Repeat any event weekly, biweekly, triweekly, monthly, or yearly. Perfect for weekly goals, recurring meetings, rent day, payday, gym routines, and the annual celebrations you never want to miss again. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Small, medium, and large widgets show year, month, or day progress at a glance and refresh on their own. Pick the size and the progress type that fit your Home Screen. ICLOUD SYNC Turn on iCloud Sync in Settings and your events stay up to date on every device signed in to the same iCloud account — iPhone and iPad together, no account to create. IMPORT & EXPORT Back up your events as CSV, move them to a new device, or bring a list of dates in from a spreadsheet. Your data stays yours.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Time Progress at 100% against Goal Lab's 0%. Time Progress also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Goal Lab's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
