Event Countdown One is a clean, beautiful countdown timer for your iPhone. Add any event, set a target date, and watch the days, hours, minutes, and seconds tick down in real time. WHETHER IT IS A VACATION, A DEADLINE, OR A BIRTHDAY Add as many countdowns as you need. Each one gets its own emoji, accent color, and background color. Choose from curated presets like Sunset, Ocean, Forest, Galaxy, and Rose, or pick any color combination you like. FLEXIBLE DATE ENTRY Not sure of the exact date yet? Use duration mode to say "in 3 months and 5 days" and let the app work out the date for you. Switch to a specific date and time whenever you are ready. REPEATING EVENTS Mark an event as repeating and it automatically restarts with the same duration once the countdown ends. Perfect for recurring deadlines, monthly reviews, or any cycle you want to track. Every completed occurrence is saved to history so you always have a record. REMINDERS Set a reminder days before and another one minutes before the event. You choose exactly how much notice you want, and the app schedules everything locally on your device. No account, no server, no internet connection needed. HISTORY Every completed or manually reset event is saved to the history log with the scheduled date, completion time, and occurrence number.
