Daysleft turns the days between now and the moments you care about into a clean, glanceable countdown — on your Home Screen, your Lock Screen, and in the app. No clutter, no noise. Just the days that matter, counting down. TWO KINDS OF COUNTDOWN • From date — set a start and a goal and watch your progress fill as time passes. Perfect for a project, a pregnancy, a savings goal, or a trip you're building toward. • Days left — pick a goal date and count down from today. Perfect for a birthday, a holiday, a deadline, a wedding, or a return home. A FINISH WORTH WATCHING • As the day nears, the widget ring catches fire over the final three days — building each day. • On the day itself, a little celebration marks the moment. • And after it passes, your countdown keeps going, counting the days since — so the moment never just disappears. A GUIDED START • A friendly welcome explains both countdown types with a live example of each, so your very first countdown is easy to set up and looks exactly how you want. MADE FOR YOUR HOME & LOCK SCREEN • Small and medium Home Screen widgets • Lock Screen widgets (circular and rectangular) • Each widget shows exactly one countdown, so you decide what earns the space • Choose which countdown a widget displays — long-press to switch it anytime SEE IT BEFORE YOU PLACE IT • A live widget preview inside the app shows precisely how your countdown will look — while you edit and in your list — so there are no surprises on your Home Screen. MAKE EACH ONE YOURS • Give every countdown a title, an accent color, and an icon • Keep several countdowns side by side and open any one for the full view SIMPLE, PRIVATE, YOURS • No account, no sign-up, no ads • Your countdowns stay on your device Set a date. Watch it approach. Celebrate when it arrives. That's Daysleft.
