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.

Optimized for iPhone Duo. Built with the latest SDK, the app fills the entire inner display and automatically adjusts its layout whether the device is folded or open. Scan contracts, receipts and IDs into crisp PDFs — then find any of them later by typing one word from inside the document. On-device text recognition (OCR) reads every scan and auto-sorts it into Receipts, IDs, Cards and Contracts, so you never hunt by file name again. It all works offline: nothing is uploaded, no account, same in airplane mode. Lock the app with Face ID and export password-protected PDFs. SEARCH INSIDE YOUR DOCUMENTS — OFFLINE • On-device text recognition (OCR) reads every scan automatically. • Search for a word and find the document that contains it — not just by its name. • Scans are auto-sorted into Receipts, IDs, Cards, Contracts and more — all offline. • View and copy the recognized text, or export it as a .txt file. It never leaves your device. LOCKED & ENCRYPTED • Lock the app with Face ID or your passcode. • Export password-protected, encrypted PDFs to share sensitive documents safely.
