Simple Countdown Widget App vs DayCapsule Countdown and Days

Simple Count is the easiest way to count down to the moments you're looking forward to most — vacations, birthdays, weddings, concerts, holidays, and everything in between. Every widget is free — Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Dynamic Island. No subscription, ever. COUNT DOWN TOGETHER Share a countdown with the people you're counting down with and it stays linked: when anyone changes the date, the photo or the note, it updates on everyone's phone, widgets included. You can also share any event as a beautifully designed card, or select several countdowns and share them all at once. Add a photo, choose an emoji, and bring your countdowns to life with beautiful widgets on your Home Screen. Every time you unlock your phone, you'll see exactly what you're excited about next. FEATURES • Every widget free — no ads, no subscription • Beautiful Home Screen widgets in multiple sizes, including a full-page widget on iOS 27 • Lock Screen widgets and Live Activities with Dynamic Island support • Notifications on the day of your event • Celebrate past events instead of hiding them away • Available in 12 languages, switch anytime in Settings • No account required — your countdowns stay on your device and in your own iCloud, and we never see them, even the ones you share • iPhone and iPad sync — your countdowns, notes and reminders stay the same on all your devices, and come back if you reinstall the app • Repeating events — daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom patterns like "the 3rd Sunday of each month" • Countdown reminders — days, hours, or minutes before each event • Notes with sections and checklists — keep tickets, addresses and packing lists right with the countdown; shared countdowns share them too • Search — find any countdown by name, note, or emoji (use the same emoji as a tag to group events) • Siri — say "Add a countdown in Simple Count" and just tell it what's coming, or ask how many days are left • Import from Calendar — events you have already planned become countdowns, repeating ones included • Count Down Together — shared countdowns that update for everyone. Share one for free; Simple Count Pro lets you share as many as you like at once. Joining is always free. • Photo backgrounds, and photos and files in your notes — Simple Count Pro, a one-time purchase. Whether you're counting down to your dream vacation, a special celebration, or your best friend's birthday, Simple Count keeps the excitement alive every day.

No intrusive ads behind paywalls. No feature bloat. Just your days, beautifully displayed. — CORE FEATURES — Countdown & Count-up Know exactly how many days until your next birthday, or how many days you have been together.

Home Screen & Lock Screen Widgets Small, Medium, and Large home screen widgets, plus three Lock Screen widget styles, all sharing the same beautiful design language as the app itself. 9 Event Categories Birthday, Anniversary, Travel, Work, Education, Sports, Health, Wedding, Holiday — each with its own icon and color accent.
