Read full description

Set alarms for your reminders and events so that you are notified well in advance. Don't miss a single reminder or event. This app enables you to set up audible alarms at a time of your choosing. So often you are likely to miss an event because the phone only issues you a silent notification. This app displays events and reminders from your calendar and helps schedule an audible alarm at a time you want to be notified. - all possible due to Apple's new APIs. With soothing colours and Liquid Glass effects introduced in iOS 26, this app gives you peace of mind making sure you never miss an important event. Ability to add or delete events and reminders to your calendar directly through the app makes it very convenient for the user not having to flip between different apps. Best of all the app does all of the above without collecting ANY data about you or your events - thanks to Apple's strict privacy protection.

About

Countdown Widget Go

Features
Read full description

Countdown shows you exactly how long until the things you care about, or how long it's been since. Make one for a birthday, a trip, an anniversary, an exam, your last day at work, or just New Year. It sits on your Home Screen and your Lock Screen so you see it every time you pick up your phone. Every countdown is yours to customize. Pick an emoji, set a color or let it adapt to light and dark mode, drop in your own photo as the background, and tag it however you like. Set it as an all-day event or count down to the minute. Repeating events roll forward on their own, and the repeats are smart: "last Friday of the month" stays the last Friday instead of drifting to a fixed date. The widgets are the point for a lot of people. Single-event widgets come in four styles โ€” a big number, a progress ring, a progress bar, or number tiles โ€” for the Home Screen, plus circular, rectangular, and inline versions for the Lock Screen. Track several events at once with the medium and large widgets. Empty slots fill in with whatever's coming up next, and anything you pin jumps to the front. What you get: - Count down to a future date or up from a past one - Home Screen widgets in four styles, plus Lock Screen widgets - Your own photos as widget backgrounds - Smart repeats: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, including patterns like "2nd Tuesday" that don't drift - Emoji, custom colors, and tags - Pin your favorites and reorder by hand - Reminders the day before, a week before, or when the day arrives - Choose which units you see, from years down to seconds - Count only the days that matter by skipping weekends or any weekday you pick - Sort by soonest, latest, name, or date added - Works in nine languages Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no servers, no tracking. The app is free, has no ads, and nothing is locked behind a purchase.
