Countdown Cabinet is a countdown widget and day counter for birthdays, vacations, anniversaries, exams, and deadlines. See how many days are left, choose a local reminder, and keep important dates on your home screen. COUNT DOWN TO IMPORTANT DATES Create events for a birthday, anniversary, wedding, vacation, trip, exam, deadline, next payment, or document renewal. Add an optional target time for appointments and same-day deadlines. Past dates show how many days have elapsed. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Choose one event for a Small countdown widget or see your next three upcoming events in Medium. Preview both in Home-screen widget setup and choose which events can appear. Add the widget through your device's widget picker. Event titles may be visible on your home screen; notes are never shared with widgets. Widgets do not contain ads. REMINDERS YOU CHOOSE Set an optional reminder on the day, 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days before an event. Preview the reminder date and time before saving. Date-only reminders use 9 AM local time. Notification permission is requested when you save an event with a reminder. Delivery depends on your device settings. Yearly reminders are prepared ahead and renewed when you open the app; open it at least once a year to keep them current. SIMPLE EVENT MANAGEMENT Start quickly with birthday, anniversary, exam, trip, deadline, bill, and document starters. My events separates upcoming and past dates, with the next event highlighted. Use categories, notes, search, and category filters to find your dates. Repeat any event yearly, including birthdays and anniversaries.

Countdown Cabinet supports English and Korean. The free app may show a labeled banner ad on the event list. Ads are not shown in event creation or editing, Settings, notifications, or widgets.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Countdown Cabinet at none against Trackmate's 2. Countdown Cabinet also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.1). Trackmate's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
