The Clean Countdown widget shows you how many days away an important event is. It's designed to be simple but customizable with no ads or logins. Set the name of your event and a date, and the widget will show how many days away that event is. You can customize the typeface by swiping on the countdown number in the app, and customize the background color by swiping through a few color options. The app supports Light and Dark appearance modes. After the event, the app will tell you how many days it has been since that day if you want to count up from a particular day. No login required, no data collected, no advertisements. This is the kind of countdown app that I wanted for myself, so I created it.
