DayDrop turns the dates you care about into something you actually see. Make a countdown for a trip, a birthday, a launch, or a wedding. Give it a color, an emoji, and a photo. Then watch a progress ring fill as the day gets closer — on your Home Screen, your Lock Screen, and your Mac. One thing, done beautifully. BEAUTIFUL BY DEFAULT • A progress ring that fills as the date approaches • Ten colors, gradients, and your own photos as backgrounds • Big, friendly numbers you can read from across the room • Standard or compact cards, whichever suits your list WIDGETS EVERYWHERE • Home Screen widgets in every size • Lock Screen and StandBy widgets • An "Up Next" widget for your soonest countdowns, or just one folder • Live Activities that tick down the final hours on your Lock Screen • A menu bar countdown on Mac — free for everyone COUNT DOWN, OR COUNT UP • Days, weeks, hours, working days, or a full year-month-day breakdown • Count up from a start date for streaks, sobriety, and milestones • Repeating birthdays and anniversaries that roll over on their own • All-day dates never drift when you travel or change time zones NEVER MISS THE DAY • Reminders a week out, a day out, and on the morning of • Pick the time all-day reminders arrive • Past countdowns can archive themselves automatically SHARE IT • Send any countdown to a friend in Messages with a rich preview • They can open it in DayDrop and keep it, or just see the link • Import a calendar event and turn it into a countdown ON EVERY DEVICE • Native apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac — not a stretched phone app • iCloud keeps everything in sync through your own private database • Split view, keyboard shortcuts, and a real menu bar on iPad and Mac • Shortcuts and Siri support for making countdowns by voice • Export and import your countdowns as a file, any time PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No tracking. No ads. Your countdowns sync through your own iCloud, and nobody — including us — can read them.
