Until is a calm countdown to the moments you are looking forward to — and a quiet helper for getting ready. A COUNTDOWN YOU CAN TRUST Every number is calculated in the event's own time zone, by calendar day, so it is right the moment you glance at it. Count in days, in workdays, as a percentage of the way there, or keep counting after the day has passed. ALWAYS IN VIEW Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep working without a network connection. Pick which countdown a widget shows, or let it always show the next one. GET READY, NOT JUST EXCITED Add milestones for the weeks before, a short checklist for the things you must not forget, and reminders that arrive when you choose. Passport check. Hotels booked. Who is coming. YOURS, PRIVATELY There is no account. Your countdowns live on your device. Until never adds to or changes your calendar, and it only asks for notification permission the first time you add a reminder. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from 200 photo covers or use your own photo — every cover is free. Birthdays and anniversaries can repeat every year, and Until follows your phone's light and dark mode. PRO, WITHOUT THE ADS Until Pro removes advertising and unlocks every theme and every widget style. Choose a monthly or yearly plan and cancel any time. Weddings, trips, exams, graduations, a new home, a baby, a concert, a launch. Whatever you are counting down to, Until helps you get there ready.
