Day Limit

Day Limit is a simple countdown app that shows the days left until an important date as a calm tear-off calendar. Add an event name and date, and the home screen gives you a large, glanceable countdown. On the target day it shows 0 days, and after the date it switches to a days-since display so past events still make sense. Use it for exams, study goals, trips, anniversaries, birthdays, interviews, deadlines, and personal milestones. Main features: - Large tear-off calendar style countdown - Add, edit, reorder, and manage multiple events - Clear target-day and days-since states - Desk Mode for keeping a goal visible while you study or work - iPhone and iPad support - No ads and no account required Day Limit is designed to keep important dates quietly visible without turning your calendar into a noisy task list.
