Count down to what comes next—and keep what came before. Dayfolio connects countdowns, elapsed time, milestones, and memories in one calm journal for important days. Create birthdays, anniversaries, exams, trips, and plans manually. Follow meaningful anniversaries and day-count milestones, then keep the moments that actually happened with photos and notes. SEE WHAT COMES NEXT Review upcoming days in time order, count down to future events or count up from past milestones, and pin what matters most. Use the built-in categories or create your own. CELEBRATE EVERY MILESTONE Choose a birthday, memorial, anniversary, or general milestone rule. Dayfolio lays out meaningful anniversaries, hundred-day marks, full months, and full years without making you create each event again. TURN DAYS INTO MEMORIES Save a trip, breakfast, or quietly important evening with a photo and note. Link each memory to its day, so the story continues after the countdown reaches zero. CREATE EVERY DAY YOUR WAY Set a title, date, solar or lunar calendar, count direction, repeat cycle, reminder, and category. Manual creation is the complete default flow, and every field stays under your control. SUBSCRIBE TO PUBLIC DATE PACKS Add China holidays and make-up workdays, the 24 Solar Terms, Chinese traditional festivals, and selected UN international days. Choose which packs to follow and set a reminder preference for each pack. ONE CALENDAR FOR PERSONAL AND PUBLIC DATES Subscribed public dates appear beside the days you create without replacing them.

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Dayfolio at 13.0 against Countdown Pro +'s 16.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
