Some days deserve to be counted. Temporal is a calm, editorial countdown app for the moments you're moving toward — a wedding, a trip, a deadline, a birthday, the day you finally get back. Each event becomes a piece of design: an oversized numeral, a thin accent rail, a quiet date line — laid out with the care of a print magazine. A HERO CARD FOR WHAT MATTERS NEXT Open the app and the closest event takes the stage — a massive day count over an ambient gradient, the title set in a refined display face, the date sitting just below. No clutter, no chrome. SEVEN PALETTES THAT CHANGE EVERYTHING Pick from seven hand-tuned themes — Temporal, Aurora, Inkstone, Glacier, Sunset, Jade, Lacquer — each with its own gradient palette and matching home screen icon. Switch any time; the whole app, your widgets, and your icon move together. WIDGETS FOR EVERY SIZE Pin a single event or a stack to your home screen and lock screen. Small, medium, large, and accessory widgets all carry the same editorial language as the app — no awkward downscaling. SHARE COUNTDOWNS AS IMAGES Tap share on any event to render it as a high-resolution image — perfect for Instagram, group chats, or your own private folder of "almost there" moments. SYNC ACROSS YOUR IPHONE WITH ICLOUD Your events ride your iCloud account — no servers, no accounts, no signups. Add an event on one device and it shows up on every other one signed in to the same Apple ID. RECURRING EVENTS, QUIET NOTIFICATIONS One-off dates, yearly birthdays, monthly check-ins — Temporal handles them all. Get a quiet local reminder when an event lands or the day before, on your terms.
