Count down to everything you're waiting for β beautifully. Soon turns the moments that matter into big, editorial countdowns you'll actually want on your home screen: a trip, a concert, exam season ending, a birthday, an anniversary, or "days since" something began. THE WIDGET IS THE POINT Put any countdown on your Home Screen or Lock Screen. Small, medium and lock-screen widgets keep the number perfectly correct β it flips at local midnight, every day. Give each widget its own countdown. MADE TO BE SHARED Tap any countdown for a full-screen, screenshot-perfect view, then export a gorgeous image straight to your story. UNTIL & SINCE Count down to what's coming, or up from what already happened β "Day 142 together." Birthdays and anniversaries repeat yearly and roll forward automatically, so they never go negative. YOUR AESTHETIC Dress every countdown in a clean soft theme, one of six vivid gradients, or your own photo. Big serif numbers, dark and modern β built to look good on your screen and in your screenshots. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud. No tracking.
