The day you're waiting for, every time you open your phone. Birthday, vacation, exam, wedding, payday… Pick a date and Day Counter does the rest. The days left fill the screen — or follow them down to the second. YOUR WHOLE YEAR IN ONE CALENDAR Months sit two by two, and every counter's day is marked in its own color. Tap a day to see what's on it, or add a counter right there. COUNT DOWN TO THE SECOND See the time left in days, weeks, months, hours or live: 234 days 16 hours 32 minutes 54 seconds. Just tap the big number. IT COUNTS THE DAYS SINCE, TOO When the date passes, the counter keeps going the other way. How long since you started the new job, met, or quit smoking? It also shows the next milestone: "Day 1000 · 87 days to go". MONTHLY AND YEARLY DAYS Payday, rent and your card bill roll over every month by themselves. New Year, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and more come back every year. A FASTER DATE PICKER Today, tomorrow, +1 week, +1 month, +3 months, +1 year — one tap.
