Some days you think about for weeks. The trip you booked. The wedding. The last day of term. Countdown puts them somewhere you'll actually see them - on your watch face, your Lock Screen and your Home Screen. COUNTDOWNS ON YOUR WATCH FACE This is the part most countdown apps forget. Put Countdown on your Apple Watch face and the days remaining sit right there next to the time, all day. Lift your wrist and you know - no app to open, no phone to dig out. It fits the faces you already wear - corner slots, round dials, the wide strip across the middle, the single line under the clock. Apple Watch Ultra's big slots look especially good. There's a full watch app too, so you can flick through everything you're counting down to without touching your phone. AND ON YOUR HOME AND LOCK SCREEN Add a countdown widget in three Home Screen sizes, or slip one under the clock on your Lock Screen. Widgets keep themselves up to date, so the number is right whenever you glance at it. TEN SECONDS TO SET UP Name it, pick a date and time, done. Birthdays and anniversaries repeat every year and roll over on their own, so you never type the same date twice. Switch on Count Up After Date and once the day passes the event counts the time since instead - days together, days sober, days in the new job. When the day arrives, a notification lets you know. MAKE EACH ONE LOOK LIKE THE THING IT'S FOR A ski trip shouldn't look like a dentist appointment. Dozens of icons across travel, celebrations, winter, work and life, plus eight colour gradients. Search and filter to find anything fast. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS No account. No sign-up. No profile. Your countdowns live on your device and sync privately through your own iCloud, so they turn up on your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch - and never on our servers, because we don't have any. WHAT PEOPLE COUNT DOWN TO Holidays and flights • Birthdays • Weddings • Christmas • Due dates • Exams and results day • Retirement • Pay day • Concerts • Ski season • Days sober • The weekend --- WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE Countdown is free to download and use, supported by ads.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Daily Routine Planner at none against Countdown's shown. Daily Routine Planner also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Countdown's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
