Daybird

Daybird turns every date that matters into a clean countdown β or a days-since counter β and puts it right on your home screen widget. WHY DAYBIRD β’ The widget is the point: your nearest day shows on the home screen, tap to open. β’ Automatic: future dates count down, past dates count up, and today shows "It's today" β there is no mode to pick. β’ Yearly repeat: birthdays and anniversaries roll forward to the next occurrence automatically, with Feb 29 handled correctly. β’ Clean and personal: a Material 3 design, with an emoji and a color for every event. β’ Pin what matters: pinned days sort to the top and drive the widget. PRIVACY, FOR REAL β’ Fully on-device β every event stays on your phone. β’ No network: the app requests no network permission, so "nothing leaves your phone" is something you can verify. β’ No account, no ads, no tracking. PRICING Free for up to 5 days. A one-time purchase unlocks Pro: unlimited days and all theme colors. No subscription, no hidden fees. Put the days that matter where you will actually see them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Daybird at 15.0 against CountedDays's 18.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
