Read full description

Count Easy counts the days until the moments you're waiting for, and the days since the ones that changed things. No accounts. No subscriptions. No data collection. WHAT'S NEXT, FIRST Home leads with your next moment, like "12 days until Lisbon trip", with a thin bar for how much of the wait is behind you. Below it: today's moments, everything coming up, and the counters counting up. ADD ONE IN A SENTENCE Type "Lisbon trip June 3", "Mom's birthday May 4" or "Quit coffee 2 weeks ago" and Count Easy reads the name, the date and whether it repeats. Or open the full form to pick the date, an icon or emoji, a color and a note. DAYS UNTIL AND DAYS SINCE Count down to trips, birthdays, weddings, launches and deadlines. Count up from the day you moved, started a job or quit something. On the day itself a countdown simply reads Today; the next day it starts counting the days since. REPEATS THAT KEEP THEIR DAY Repeat every day, week, two weeks, month or year. Birthdays come back every year, February 29 included in leap years, and monthly dates on the 31st land on each month's last day. RIGHT, WHEREVER YOU ARE Count Easy counts calendar days, so a countdown never shifts by a day when you travel across time zones or the clocks change. WIDGETS Small, medium and large Home Screen widgets and Lock Screen widgets show your next moment, or any countdown you pick. The medium and large sizes list what's up next. SHARE THE COUNTDOWN Send any countdown as an image, in Paper, Ink or Story. MAKE IT YOURS Light, Graphite or Black, and eight accents, each with its own app icon. PRIVACY FIRST Zero data collection. Zero tracking. Zero third-party code. Your countdowns stay on your device and are never transmitted anywhere. iCloud backup handles device transfers automatically.

Tally brings your countdowns and daily tasks together in a calm, personal space. Look forward to the next big moment, or count the days since one worth remembering. YOUR MOMENTS, AT A GLANCE Create countdowns for trips, birthdays, launches, weddings, goals and everyday plans. Clear, compact cards show the most useful time units as each event approaches. Open a countdown for its full time breakdown and exact date. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from more than 200 icons, pick a gradient color theme or add a personal photo. Your countdowns keep their own identity within a neutral Day or Night interface. Follow your device appearance or choose the mode you prefer. DAYS SINCE Track time since a milestone, a move, a new habit or another meaningful date. Countdowns and days-since events live together in the same library. STAY ORGANIZED Sort by date, name or creation time, or touch and hold a countdown to arrange it manually. Swipe left to delete. Keep past events available without crowding upcoming plans. Duplicate an event when you want a similar countdown. REMINDERS ON YOUR TERMS Set a reminder for the event time, one day before, one week before or a custom number of days. Choose morning and evening reminders for daily tasks separately. Notification permission is requested when you enable reminders. DAILY TASKS Keep a focused task list beside your countdowns. Add optional deadlines, icons and colors, mark tasks complete, and carry unfinished tasks forward. Undo an accidental deletion. SHARE AND PLAN Share a text countdown summary through the iPhone share sheet. Add a countdown to Calendar using Apple's event editor, where you review and save it. Tally remembers confirmed Calendar exports to help avoid accidental duplicates. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE No account is required. Countdowns, tasks, preferences and selected photos stay on your device. Tally works offline and includes local recovery safeguards for saved records.
