Today is highlighted. - Three home layouts to choose from: Editorial, Centered, and Weeks. - Refreshes automatically at midnight, so what you see is always honest. COUNT DOWN TO WHAT MATTERS - Add events with a title, a date, and an icon you pick from a curated set. - Birthdays, trips, anniversaries, deadlines, holidays, marathons, or anything else. - Each event shows the days left, percent passed, and a dot-grid progress meter. - Optional reminders fire the day before, so important dates do not slip by.
