Photo Countdown is a free countdown widget with your own photo: the days until a birthday, wedding or trip, or a days-since counter for anything you started or quit. Every widget free — Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy. No ads, no account, nothing locked. New widgets show your next event on their own and move on when its day has passed. They flip from "days until" to "days since" automatically. Your events and photos never leave your phone. Nothing to sync, nothing to lose in a sync.
