Some dates don't feel urgent until they're gone. The warranty that ran out three weeks before the screen cracked. The passport you renewed in a panic. The car service you meant to book in spring. None of them felt like a deadline at the time β which is exactly why they get missed. Countdown keeps all of them in one list and tells you before it's too late. EVERYTHING WITH A DATE, IN ONE LIST A warranty, a passport, an insurance renewal, a vet visit and a trip all live together, ordered by what needs you soonest. Nothing hides in a folder you forgot to open. IT ASKS THE RIGHT QUESTION Pick a category and the screen changes with it. Electronics asks when you bought it and how long the warranty runs. Insurance asks when the cover started and how long it runs. A passport asks when it expires. You never fill in a generic form. THREE WAYS TO ENTER A DATE - You know the date β pick it - You know the start and the length β the end date is worked out for you - It repeats β mark it done and it rolls forward on its own REMINDERS THAT ARRIVE Choose how far ahead you want to hear about it: a day, a week, three months. Reminders arrive at 9:00 in your local time, and they work on the free plan. KEEP THE RECEIPT WITH THE DATE With the unlock, attach a photo of a receipt or document to any item. It stays in the app's own storage on your device. The app never gets access to your photo library at all β it doesn't ask for the permission, because it doesn't need it. FREE Track 10 items with one reminder each. Archived items don't count toward the limit, so you never have to delete your history to make room for something new. ONE PAYMENT UNLOCKS - Unlimited items - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Repeating items that roll forward - More than one reminder per item - Receipt and document photos - CSV export One payment. No subscription. PRIVACY IS THE ARCHITECTURE, NOT A PROMISE No account. No sign-in. No analytics. No tracking. The app has no server and makes no network request except to Apple for your purchase. The app never sends your dates anywhere.

Verdict
Days Left and Countdown are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters β price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them β neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
