Read full description

Count down to the days you are waiting for, with your own photos on your Home Screen. Until That Day is a countdown app for baby milestones, anniversaries, payday, exam day and family dates. Choose what the date is for, add it, and keep it in view with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. What you can count • Child: Enter a birth date and get monthly milestones from 1 to 11 months, the half birthday and every birthday. See days since birth and the calendar age in months and days. • Couple: Enter the day you got together to count the 6-month anniversary and every anniversary after it. Choose whether the first day counts as day 1. • Work: Set your payday and a weekend rule (keep the date, previous weekday or next weekday) to see your upcoming paydays. Public and company holidays are not included. • Study: Enter a confirmed exam date and count down to it. • My car: Enter the expiry date from your inspection notice so it does not slip by. • Family: Birthdays and family gatherings. • Free date: A trip, a graduation, a move - any day worth remembering. You choose which suggested dates to keep. Only the dates you add appear on Home and get reminders. Lunar calendar dates Switch a Family or Free date to the lunar calendar. Add the lunar year (optional), a leap month and yearly repeat, and see the matching solar date before you save. A yearly lunar date moves to next year's solar day once it has passed. Lunar conversion follows the Korean lunar calendar and covers lunar years 1900 to 2050. Reminders you control • Days: pick from D-100, D-30, D-7, D-1 and D-Day, or add a custom number of days before. Once a date has passed, choose D+100, D+200, D+365 or a custom number of days after. • Time: 8 AM, 9 AM, noon, 8 PM, or any time in 5-minute steps. • Change them any time from the date's detail screen. You can save and view your dates even if notifications are turned off. Photos and widgets • Use your own photo as a date's cover and set its focus. • Widget layouts: photo, big number, several dates, progress bar and calendar. • Small, medium and large Home Screen widgets, plus Lock Screen widgets (circular, rectangular and inline). • On iOS 17 and later, choose a different date for each widget. On iOS 16, widgets show the main date from the app. • Large widgets also list up to three of your nearest other dates. • A photo appears in widgets only if you turn that on for the date.
