BirthdayAlert ⁂ vs Countdown

BirthdayAlert makes it effortless to remember and celebrate the birthdays of the people who matter most to you. Simply connect your contacts and BirthdayAlert automatically finds every birthday — no manual entry required. Each day you'll see whose birthday it is and who's coming up this week, so you always have time to reach out with a message or call. FEATURES • Today's Birthdays — See at a glance whose special day it is right now • Coming Up This Week — Never get caught off guard by an upcoming birthday • Smart Notifications — Get reminded at the time that works best for you • Repeat Reminders — Optional hourly follow-ups so nothing slips through the cracks • Check-In — Mark when you've reached out and silence the rest of the day's reminders • Time-Sensitive Alerts — Cut through Do Not Disturb when it matters most • Privacy First — Your data stays on your device and is never shared

Create a countdown for anything — a trip, a birthday, a deadline — and pin it right to your Home Screen or Lock Screen. Each countdown gets its own emoji and color, and its own widget. Add as many widgets as you like, and pick exactly which countdown each one shows by long-pressing it and choosing Edit Widget. FEATURES • Create countdowns (1 free, unlimited with Pro) • Recurring countdowns — weekly, monthly, or yearly (birthdays, anniversaries, rent) • Pick an emoji and accent color for each countdown • Pin any countdown to its own Home Screen widget • Lock Screen widgets too • Optional reminder notification when a countdown arrives • Countdown Pro unlocks unlimited countdowns and a full set of premium gradient colors Countdown works entirely on your device — there is no account, no login, and nothing is ever sent anywhere.
