Trackdown is the days counter that feels like Apple made it. Count down to what’s coming. Count up from what matters. No account. No subscription. Just your days, beautifully counted. COUNT DOWN A trip, a birthday, a launch, a holiday. Pick a date and watch the number fall, while the dial shows how far along you are. COUNT UP Your first run, a new home, a fresh start. See how many days it has been, and every milestone along the way. MILESTONES 100 days, six months, a year, the halfway point. Each one earns a medal, and Trackdown can remind you when it arrives. TAP TO CHANGE UNITS See any count in days, weeks, months, hours or live seconds. CALENDAR Every event, repeat and milestone on a month view. Start a new event on any day. WIDGETS Countdown, Dial and Up Next on your Home Screen, and a gauge, a summary and the dial on your Lock Screen. SIRI, SHORTCUTS AND SPOTLIGHT Ask Siri how long until your trip, or find any event in Spotlight. MADE TO SHARE Share an event as a poster, or add it to Calendar. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No server. No tracking. Your events stay on your iPhone.
