Countdowns for everything you are waiting for - with widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. All widgets free, at no extra cost. No subscription, no ads, no tracking. App Store privacy label: Data Not Collected. The whole app is 1.1 MB - comparable countdown apps run into the hundreds of megabytes. Add an event in under ten seconds and see exactly how many days are left. When something is less than two days away, the countdown switches to hours. The widgets show your countdown without opening the app. They roll over at midnight, on the day, not whenever the system feels like refreshing. Reminders reach you on the day itself, and optionally 1, 7 or 30 days before. Events can be shared as an image: one tap and the countdown goes out as a message. Your first 3 events are free, widgets included. If you need more, one payment unlocks everything, forever. Nothing ever leaves your device. Family Sharing is included.
