Set the date, list what you want to do before it, and watch the number come down. Not sure where to start? Weekend Left suggests the days people around you count down to — Christmas, New Year, Diwali, Thanksgiving, Boxing Day, Golden Week — each already showing how many weekends are left. One tap makes it your goal. Count down together. Share a goal with friends or family and everyone sees the same number. - Countdown goals with target dates - Suggested goals for your country and language - A bucket list for each goal - Deadlines that repeat and remind you before they lapse — permits, licences, leases - Days, weekends and months remaining - An icon and colour per goal, plus tags and notes - Groups with invite codes - Home and lock screen widgets FREE: 3 goals, 20 bucket items, 1 group.
