Every widget free — Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy. No ads, no account, nothing locked. Your photo, your countdown: count down to a wedding, a trip or a baby, or count the days since you quit, started a streak or saw your last concert. New widgets show your next event on their own and move on when its day has passed. They flip from "days until" to "days since" automatically. Your events and photos never leave your phone. Nothing to sync, nothing to lose in a sync. COUNTDOWN & COUNT SINCE • Count down the days to any future event • Count up from any date — perfect for sobriety, streaks and milestones • Show days, or weeks, months or years ("12 weeks, 3 days") • Switches automatically when the date passes, or lock it to always count down or always count since EVERY WIDGET, FREE • Small, medium, large and extra-large Home Screen widgets • Up Next: your next few events in one widget • Lock Screen widgets — circular, rectangular and inline • Your photo as the background — add up to 10 and the widget rotates through them • Color themes for events without a photo, including Birthday, Wedding, Trip and Holiday • Tap a widget to open its event MAKE IT YOURS • 10 ready-made looks, previewed live with your own photo • Frame your photo: drag and pinch until it fits every widget size • 8 fonts, any text color, 6 text positions and a readability slider • Photos stay visible on a Tinted or Clear Home Screen • Widgets follow the event's style, or pick a font and color for one widget alone REMINDERS & REPEATS • Repeat every year, month or week, or every few days, weeks, months or years — birthdays and anniversaries roll over on their own • Reminders on the day, or 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks or 1 month before, at the time you pick • Share any countdown as a square photo card SIMPLE & PRIVATE • Add an event in seconds — pick an occasion, a date and a photo • No account, no signup, no ads, no subscription • Your events stay on your device • In English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese and Swedish Perfect for: • Vacations, birthdays, weddings, holidays • Sobriety tracking & addiction recovery • Fitness goals & streaks • Anniversaries & milestones • Baby due dates & retirement countdowns Free to use.
