Countdown is for people who want to track more than one special date and never lose them when switching phones — a desktop countdown app powered by iCloud sync. WHO IT'S FOR · People who track wedding countdowns, anniversaries, retirement, exam D-Days · People who glance at their Home Screen or Lock Screen for "how many days left" · People who use both iPhone and iPad and need data to sync automatically · NOT for: someone who just needs a single number and finds multiple widgets overwhelming 3 SCENES YOU'LL USE IT FOR · Want to remember a wedding/anniversary → enter the date once, it shows on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. When the day comes, it automatically flips to "married for X days" · Wondering "how long until retirement" → turn on Working-Days mode, counts Mon–Fri only · Lunar birthday reminders → set Lunar repeat, it updates automatically every year WHY NOT OTHER COUNTDOWN APPS · We don't rely on local storage — your data lives in iCloud, syncs across all devices automatically · We don't just show raw numbers — far-off dates read "2 months 12 days" or "~3 weeks", not just "73 days" · Focus + Overview in one — the Focus widget keeps your eyes on one date, while Timeline List shows all ABOUT US · Completely free, no ads, no tracking, no data collection. No account or sign-in needed. FAQ Q: Will I lose data when switching phones? A: No. As long as you use the same Apple ID, everything syncs via iCloud automatically. Nothing to configure. Q: Can I count only working days? A: Yes. Each event has a Working-Days mode that counts Mon–Fri only. Q: Can lunar birthdays repeat every year automatically? A: Yes. Choose "Lunar Repeat" when creating an event, it updates automatically each year. Q: Can I see multiple countdowns on the Lock Screen? A: Yes. The "Lock Top 3" widget shows your three nearest countdowns below the clock. Q: Is this app really free? Any ads? A: Completely free — no ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions. No registration required. Q: Will a long list of events look messy? A: No. Past events are automatically moved to "Past" section. You choose which ones appear on widgets.
