Anticipāt counts down to the days you're looking forward to. Add a trip, a concert, a birthday, or anything else worth the wait, and watch the days fall away on your Home Screen, your Lock Screen, and in the Dynamic Island as the moment gets close. It's free. There are no ads, no subscription, and no account to create. NEW IN THIS VERSION Anticipāt has been redrawn. Your photo now gets the whole frame, with the countdown set below it on paper instead of printed on top of someone's holiday picture. Events sit in a ruled register you can scan at a glance, and there are five themes to print it all on, from cream paper to true black. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Count down to trips, concerts, birthdays, holidays, or anything you like. • Put a countdown on your Home Screen and Lock Screen with widgets that update on their own. • See your next event on your Apple Watch with a watch-face complication. • Watch the final hours tick down by the minute, with a Live Activity and Dynamic Island countdown on iPhones that support it. • Pick from five themes, and set a font and a colour on any single event. • Add a photo from your library or search free photos from Unsplash, then frame it exactly how you want it. • Get a reminder 30 days, 7 days and 1 day before, plus the day itself, and turn them off per event. • Share a countdown as a card for your group chat or your story, or copy a link a friend can open to add the same event. • Ask Siri how many days until something, or to add a countdown. • Keep birthdays and holidays recurring year after year, add notes, and import dates from your calendar. • Look back at your year with a shareable recap every December. YOUR EVENTS STAY YOURS Anticipāt works fully offline and stores nothing on our servers. Your events ride your device's normal iCloud backup, and you can export a file at any time. Turn on iCloud Sync and they keep in step across your own iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud, with no account to create. Photo search and calendar import use the network when it's there and step aside quietly when it isn't. Part of the Āpex Suite by HYTimes App Studio. Pay once, own forever. No subscriptions.
