Most countdown apps focus on ticking numbers. Metriso focuses on the joy of anticipation. Watch your moments beautifully unfold, day by day, right on your Home Screen. Instead of a generic timer, Metriso introduces Visual Reveals. Choose a beautiful image for your upcoming vacation, wedding, or personal milestone. As the big day draws closer, your chosen image slowly and beautifully reveals itself. It’s not just a countdown; it’s a living piece of art tracking your most anticipated moments. WHY METRISO IS DIFFERENT We believe that looking forward to an event should feel just as good as the event itself. By focusing on visual progression, Metriso turns your Home Screen into a canvas of calm anticipation. CORE FEATURES - Cinematic Reveals: Watch time pass visually. As your event gets closer, your image comes into focus. Experience standard reveals like Blur and Pixelation, or unlock premium animations like Puzzle, Wave, and Brush Stroke. - Curated Aesthetics: Choose from our hand-picked library of high-quality, minimalist photography, pick a calming solid colour, or let the app surprise you with a random aesthetic image. - Beautiful Widgets: Keep your anticipation front and center. Support for Small, Medium, and Large widgets ensures your Home Screen remains elegant and inspiring. - Flexible Repetitions: Automate your schedule. Set up simple repeats, like yearly for birthdays and anniversaries, or easily configure complex routines (like the 3rd Friday of every 2 months). - iCloud Sync: Create an event on your iPhone and watch it beautifully reveal on your iPad or Mac. Your moments are safely backed up and always in sync. - Smart Notifications: Choose how you want to be reminded. Get a gentle nudge on the day of the event, exactly one week before, or turn them off completely for a quiet experience. - The Memory Vault: When an event reaches zero, it doesn't just disappear. It is safely stored in your personal Memory Vault, allowing you to look back on past achievements, trips, and cherished memories. - Shared Countdowns: Counting down is better together. Send any countdown to friends and family via a simple link so everyone can watch the big day approach together. - Zero Clutter. Zero Ads: Designed strictly for digital wellness. No banner ads, no pop-ups, just pure, uninterrupted anticipation. THE INDIE PROMISE: NO SUBSCRIPTIONS. EVER. Metriso is a labor of love built by an independent developer who was tired of simple utilities charging expensive monthly fees. The core experience of Metriso is completely free to use. If you love the app, you can unlock Metriso Pro with a single, one-time payment. Metriso Pro unlocks: - Unlimited active countdowns - The ability to upload your own custom photos from your Camera Roll - Premium cinematic reveals (Brush Stroke, Puzzle, and Wave) Pay once, keep it forever, and support indie software. Anticipate beautifully with Metriso.
