See your whole year as one living wheel. Almanac Year turns 365 days into a single glowing ring. Every birthday, anniversary, deadline and holiday you pin becomes a point of light on the wheel — and the months that carry the most weight glow brightest. One glance tells you where the year builds, where it rests, and what is coming next. Most calendar apps show you a week. Almanac Year shows you the shape of the year, and how your time is balanced between Work, Rest, Play, People and Growth. WHAT YOU GET • Read your entire year at a glance — twelve months on one wheel, lit by how much each month holds • Never miss a moment that matters — a quiet reminder arrives the day before, at 9 in the morning • Count down to every milestone in days, with the anniversary or age number worked out for you • Spot your fullest and lightest months before they arrive, so you can rebalance early • See where your year leans — work, rest, play, people or growth — season by season • Keep an eye on the holidays you care about, with regional lists you can switch in a tap PERFECT FOR • People who forget birthdays and anniversaries until it is too late • Planners mapping out a sabbatical, a wedding, a launch or a big creative year • Anyone who feels the year slip away and wants to see where the time actually goes • Families juggling reunions, school years and travel around the calendar WHY NOT JUST USE A CALENDAR? A calendar is built to answer "what is on Tuesday?". It cannot tell you that October is overloaded, that spring has nothing restful in it, or that your fifteenth anniversary is 41 days away. Almanac Year sits above the calendar: it holds only the moments that shape a year, weighs them, and shows you the pattern. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your year lives on this iPhone. No account, no sign-in, no cloud sync, no tracking. Reminders are scheduled locally on your device and never leave it. FULL ACCESS Almanac Year is a premium app. Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a paid period is not refunded on cancellation. Pin your first milestone and watch the wheel light up.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Year Planner at none against Countdown & Tasks's 1. Countdown & Tasks's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
