Shadowfetch

Shadowfetch keeps important dates visible, whether you are counting down to something ahead or counting up from something that already happened. Add a birthday, anniversary, trip, launch, deadline, ceremony, or personal streak. Shadowfetch sorts it, counts it live, helps you protect it with reminders, and gives you clean exports when you need a backup or handoff. Core features: - Count down to future dates with live days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds - Count up from past dates for anniversaries, sobriety streaks, product launches, and milestones - Pin a priority event so it leads the home screen and widget - See a Countdown Progress bar showing how far through the wait you are - Organize events by category: Birthday, Anniversary, Travel, Health, Deadline, Celebration, Milestone, Sports, Holiday, or Other - Create one-time, yearly, or monthly countdowns - Choose all-day dates or exact times - Use absolute time zones or local wall time - Schedule local reminder alerts before important events - Enable milestone notifications for notable countdown moments - Personalize events with a color or background photo - Keep a priority countdown visible with home screen and lock screen widgets - Share polished countdown or elapsed-time cards - Export all events as a spreadsheet-ready CSV - Share an Event Health Report summarizing reminders, pinned items, recurrence, categories, photos, stale records, and upcoming dates Shadowfetch is local-first. It does not require an account, does not include analytics or tracking, and does not upload your event data to a Shadowfetch-operated server. MOMENTS (NEW IN 1.7) Every other countdown app dies at zero - Shadowfetch makes zero the whole point. Events glow TODAY when the day arrives, erupt into confetti in their own color at the exact moment, and then retire to a Memories shelf that keeps the story alive: "127 days ago." One tap turns a finished moment into a count-up ("days since our wedding") or a yearly tradition. Anticipation, celebration, memory - all offline, all yours.
