Turn one sentence into a plan you can act on. Write "Review the homepage with the designer Thursday at 3pm, call Mom on Sunday night", then tap Parse.

Countdown
Read full descriptionHide full description
Countdown turns your calendars into a clear, bold countdown of the days left until every date that matters — work deadlines, birthdays, bills, trips and exams. • Big, glanceable numbers: "12 days", "Tomorrow", and hours and minutes on the final day. • A timeline drawn to scale, so busy weeks look busy. • Imports from Apple Calendar, Google, Exchange and Reminders — every event, only the calendars you pick, or just the ones matching keywords like "deadline", "birthday" or "exam". • Birthdays from your contacts, always the next one, with the age. • Categories and tags with their own colors, icons and reminder schedules. • Widgets for the Home Screen, Lock Screen, StandBy and Mac desktop, with a done button. • Live Activities count down the final hours on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — automatically on the day, or pin anything. • Siri and Shortcuts: "How many days until my next deadline?" • Syncs through your own iCloud. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Try everything free for 7 days — nothing is charged automatically. Then unlock Countdown for life with one purchase, shared with your family through Family Sharing. In English and Spanish.
