Count Easy
Read full descriptionHide 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 ads. WHAT'S NEXT, FIRST Home leads with your next moment, like "12 days until Lisbon trip". For birthdays and other repeats, a thin bar shows how much of the wait since the last one 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 a card for Stories, a feed post or a square post, or as a short video for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, where the days count down as the wait fills. In Paper, Ink or your countdown's own color. MAKE IT YOURS Light, Graphite or Black, and eight accents, each with its own app icon. PRIVACY FIRST Zero tracking. Zero third-party code. Your countdowns stay on your device and are never sent anywhere. iCloud backup handles device transfers automatically. To help fix problems, Count Easy sends anonymous diagnostics, such as crash reports and which screens you open. They never include your countdowns, and nothing identifies you. They're on by default; turn them off at any time in Settings โบ Privacy. A TIP, IF YOU LIKE Count Easy is free and has nothing to unlock. If it helps you look forward to what matters, you can leave a one-time tip in Settings: a Day, a Week, a Month or a Year. Tips go through the App Store and change nothing in the app.
Lanparcel

Lanparcel sends a file from your iPhone or iPad to any nearby device on the same Wi-Fi network. The other device needs only a web browser: no app, no account and no cloud upload. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap Choose file and pick a file from the Files picker (On My iPhone, iCloud Drive or any other location you use). 2. Lanparcel starts a temporary web server on your local network and shows a QR code together with the local address, for example http://192.168.1.20:52814/Notes.pdf. 3. On the other device, such as a laptop, tablet or phone on the same network, scan the QR code or type the address into a browser. The file downloads straight from your iPhone or iPad. 4. A download counter shows when the file has been fetched. Tap Stop transfer session when you are done, or choose another file to replace it. WHAT TO EXPECT - One file at a time, sent from this device to browsers on the same network. Lanparcel does not receive files. - While a session is running, any device on the network that opens the address can download the file, so stop the session when you are finished and use Lanparcel on networks you trust. - Keep Lanparcel open on screen during the transfer; iOS pauses the session when the app is in the background. - The file is served over plain HTTP inside your local network. The connection is not encrypted. - The file is held in memory while it is served, so it suits documents, photos and everyday files. Very large videos may not fit. - Some networks, such as guest or public Wi-Fi, stop devices from reaching each other. Use a home or office network, or a personal hotspot, instead. PRIVACY Nothing is copied to a server, and Lanparcel has no account, no ads and no analytics. iOS asks for Local Network permission the first time you start a session; it is used only to serve your file.
