Shadowfetch
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

Good parenting shouldn't mean living in your phone. Between school chats, doctor's appointments, permission slips, bills and endless reminders, family life can feel like a second job. Larchie takes that load off your shoulders. Meet Larchie, the world's 1st app brave enough to read the parentsβ group chats. Larchie keeps an eye on everything that's easy to miss: the message buried in a noisy school chat, the form due Friday, the payment you meant to make, and brings it all together in one short daily briefing. No more endless scrolling just to make sure you haven't missed something important. ONE DAILY BRIEFING Every morning Larchie tells you what actually needs your attention today and nothing that doesn't. VOICE MESSAGES, FINALLY READABLE That 2-minute audio from the class group?

TO-DO LIST, BUILT FOR YOU Larchie turns scattered messages and reminders into a clear list of what to do, so nothing gets forgotten. ONE CALENDAR, ALWAYS IN SYNC Everything stays in sync with the calendar you already use, so appointments, school events and deadlines all live in one place. SCHOOL CHATS, DECODED Important updates rise to the top. The 200 "thank you!" replies don't. Larchie reads the noise so you don't have to. ASK LARCHIE ANYTHING Ask questions naturally. Larchie remembers your family's schedules, routines and conversations, so you don't have to explain everything twice.
