Countdown X is a simple, beautiful countdown app for the days that matter to you. Count down to birthdays, vacations, weddings, anniversaries, holidays, launches and deadlines, and see how many days are left at a glance on your Home Screen, your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Count Down to Anything Create a countdown in seconds: pick a date and time or make it all-day, choose its colors and style, and add notes. Set events to repeat every day, week, two weeks, month or year, so birthdays and anniversaries roll over on their own. Start from a template to count down to the end of the year, season or month in one tap. See Your Progress Show the time remaining or the percentage of progress, and set a start date to measure progress from any moment you like. Use Excluded Days to skip the weekdays that don't count, like weekends, and see only the workdays left until a deadline. Widgets and Live Countdown Keep your countdowns in view with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and tap any widget to open its event. Turn on Live Countdown to follow an event's final 8 hours on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, perfect for a flight, a launch or the start of a party. Reminders Get a reminder the moment your countdown reaches zero, and turn reminders on or off for each event. Reminders are free for everyone. Organize Your Events See which event is next on one clean dashboard and filter your events by Upcoming, Today, This Week, This Month, Later or Past. Duplicate any event in one tap, copy an event's colors and style and paste them onto another countdown, and blur a title to keep a surprise private. Share the Excitement Share any countdown as an image, sized for Instagram Stories, TikTok, feed posts and Messages, or save it to Photos. Works With Your iPhone Find your countdowns in Spotlight, create an event with Siri or Shortcuts, and add a new countdown in one tap from Control Center, the Lock Screen or the Action button. Import events from Calendar and Reminders, and keep everything in sync across your iPhone and iPad with iCloud. Countdown X Premium Countdown X is free with up to three events. Premium unlocks: - Unlimited events - Repeating events - Percentage progress display - Blur Title for private events - Calendar and Reminders import - Share images without the watermark or background Choose a monthly or yearly plan, or pay once with Lifetime.

Sincery is the days since counter you have always wanted. Add an activity. Check in when you do it. Sincery shows how many days have passed since the last time. That is all. Some things come around regularly — watering the plants, changing the sheets, calling a parent, taking the car in for service. Not often enough to keep precisely in your head, but often enough to matter. Sincery keeps track of the gap so you do not have to. HOW IT WORKS Add an activity and give it a name. Hold the number button to check in. Sincery shows the date of the last check-in and the number of calendar days elapsed. Set an optional expiry period and the check-in button changes color when you are overdue. Sort your activities by name or by days. NO NOISE No subscription. No ads. No account. No cloud sync. No notifications. No streaks. No scores. No data collection. Your activities stay on your device and nowhere else. PRICING Sincery is free for up to three concurrent activities. A one-time purchase unlocks unlimited activities — no ongoing fees.
