Kounts counts the days until whatever you're waiting for: a trip, a birthday, a wedding, a game release, Christmas. Every widget is free and there are no ads. You don't need an account. Add the date, pick how it looks, and the countdown sits where you'll see it: your Home Screen, your Lock Screen, your Apple Watch, and the Dynamic Island on the day itself. COUNTDOWN WIDGETS, ALL FREE • Eight Home Screen widgets, and on iOS 27 four of them can fill a whole page • Lock Screen widgets, StandBy, Control Center and the Action Button • A Live Activity and a Dynamic Island countdown on the day • An Apple Watch app with complications • Kounts turns with your iPhone and spreads out on iPad, Mac and the iPhone Duo. One Premium purchase covers every device DAYS UNTIL, DAYS SINCE See how many days are left, or watch it run down live in days, hours, minutes and seconds. It counts up too: days since you quit smoking, years together. A birthday can repeat every year, and a trip can run for several days. YOUR PHOTOS, WITH DEPTH Put your own photo behind any countdown. When it shows people or pets, the count can sit behind them, like the clock on the Lock Screen. On iOS 27 with Apple Intelligence, a photo of a poster or an invitation becomes a countdown: Kounts reads the name, the place and the date for you. BIRTHDAYS FROM YOUR CONTACTS Add the birthdays already saved in your contacts in one go, each with the person's photo and age. They stay up to date when a contact changes. READY-MADE COUNTDOWNS Follow a pack in Discover and its dates arrive as countdowns that stay right on their own: Video Games and Movies (release day), TV Shows (the next episode), Moon & Sky (moon phases, eclipses, meteor showers), Public Holidays (22 countries) and Faith & Traditions (Ramadan, Passover, Diwali and more). Browsing is free, each pack is a one-off purchase, and Premium includes them all. TEN CARD STYLES A full picture with a progress ring, a tear-off calendar page, a ticket stub, one giant number, your photo inside a ring, and five more. Pick from ten gradients, five fonts, accent colors and sixteen app icons. HOLIDAYS COME WITH THEIR OWN LOOK 25 holidays have their own colors and decorations, free for everyone: Halloween, Christmas, Diwali, Eid al-Fitr, Lunar New Year and more. The dates match where you live, like Mothering Sunday in the UK or Thanksgiving in October in Canada. COUNT DOWN TOGETHER • Create a Shared Space for up to 5 people and everyone sees the same countdowns. Anyone can add or edit, and joining is free • Or share a single event: friends follow it live and add their pictures to a shared album REMINDERS Up to five reminders per event, and an Important event rings a full screen alarm, even in a Focus. LOOK BACK, TOO Add photos to any event and they stay with it. On This Day brings back countdowns from earlier years, and in December your year turns into a recap. SIRI AND SPOTLIGHT Ask Siri "when is Mum's birthday" or find an event in Spotlight. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, describe an event in plain language and Kounts fills in the details. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Your events live on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. There is nothing to sign up for, and Premium syncs them across your devices. Kounts is free, with room for 15 countdowns. Premium is one purchase, yearly or lifetime: unlimited countdowns, every card style, font, color and app icon, photo memories, iCloud sync, calendar sync, sharing, and the depth effect on widgets and share images. Pick a date you're looking forward to and start counting.
