Count down to what matters, right where you look: your Home Screen and Lock Screen. NanoCount is a complete countdown app with no account and no subscription. A holiday, a birthday, a wedding, a deadline, a due date or a passport that expires: put a countdown on it and see how many days are left at a glance. Or count up since a date to keep a streak going: smoke-free, together, working out. In the final hours it counts down live, to the second. THE FREE MULTI-EVENT WIDGET All your countdowns side by side in one widget on your Home Screen. Most apps hide this behind a subscription. In NanoCount it is free, along with single-event widgets and widgets on your Lock Screen. DAYS SINCE, NOT JUST DAYS UNTIL Count up from a date and watch the number grow: smoke-free, sober, together, back at the gym, since the operation. Day 1 starts on the day you pick. Give a streak its own widget on your Home Screen, or line all of them up side by side. FREE, AND ACTUALLY COMPLETE - Unlimited countdowns and count-up streaks - Multi-event AND single-event widgets, on the Home and Lock Screen - Live on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island on the final day - Your soonest countdowns on your Apple Watch - A reminder on the day, plus milestone alerts (halfway, one week to go) - Counter styles: a ring, dots, a bar, a real draining hourglass, or a big number - Every color, a color picker, and a searchable library of hundreds of icons - Count in days, sleeps, weekends, or working days - Import in one tap from your Calendar or Reminders (Google, Outlook and iCloud come along) - Share a countdown as a card, in one tap - Search, pin favorites, recurrence (weekly, monthly, yearly), and notes - Full backup: export and import all your countdowns NANOCOUNT PRO (one-time purchase, never a subscription) - iCloud sync: all your countdowns automatically in step across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch - Your own photo behind an event and in the widget, slowly sharpening or revealing like an advent calendar - Premium counter styles: retro flip, analog dial, particles - Gift mode: hide a surprise behind a code name - Advance reminders: 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month before - Alternate app icons - Subtract public holidays from working-day counts - Siri and Shortcuts: ask how many days, or add a countdown by voice PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-in, no tracking, no data collection.
