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.
