Mark the days that matter. Markday is a Lock Screen and Home Screen countdown widget that quietly counts the days until what matters most — birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, trips, exam dates, and personal milestones. Beautifully native to iOS. Quiet by design. No clutter. No urgency colors flashing at you. No endless calendar grid to scroll through. Just the day count, presented quietly. Add an event in seconds, pick a category and an icon, and watch the days count down on a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget that respects your wallpaper, your battery, and your attention. Why people choose Markday - Calm, modern design that feels at home on iOS 17 and later, on iPhone and iPad - Multi-event dashboard, sorted by what is closest, with custom group labels you create yourself - Quiet, human-written notifications you can set for one week, two weeks, three weeks, one month, two months, or six months ahead - Yearly auto-rollover for birthdays, anniversaries, and other recurring days, so the next year is always ready - Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets that update when the day changes, not when an ad refreshes - Optional iCloud sync to keep countdowns aligned across your iPhone and iPad - Light and dark mode with a manual override, full Dynamic Type, and VoiceOver from the first day - Available in English, Turkish, French, Spanish, German, and European Portuguese Privacy you can verify Markday collects no personal data.

If you opt in, Markday can read birthdays and selected events from your Calendar so you do not have to retype them, and it can also push your countdowns back into Calendar so they appear alongside the rest of your schedule.
