'Til counts down to the dates you care about: birthdays, holidays, trips, due dates, deadlines, and anniversaries. It's free for 7 days. After that, one purchase unlocks it for good. No subscription, no ads. WIDGETS Add a widget to your Home Screen (small, medium, or large) or Lock Screen (rectangular, circular, or inline). It shows your next countdown. THE FINAL DAY On the day of the event, the countdown switches to hours, minutes, and seconds, in the app and on the widget. REMINDERS Set a reminder a week before, the day before, or on the day. You can also pick a custom date and time, write your own reminder text, and turn sound on or off for each countdown. Countdowns set to repeat annually move to the next year on their own. LOCK SCREEN Your next countdown shows as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and updates on its own. When it ends, 'Til can move straight on to the next one. FROM YOUR CALENDAR Bring in any event and 'Til fills in the name and date for you. Search to find it in seconds. Leave it connected, and if the event moves, your countdown moves with it. Your calendar stays on your iPhone. DETAILS Give each countdown one of six colors: rose, amber, sage, sky, lavender, or graphite. Set the app to Light, Dark, or System appearance. Choose from every emoji, and add Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year in one tap. Press and hold to arrange your countdowns in any order, sort them by time remaining, and swipe left to remove one. Tap a countdown for a full-screen view. Tap a notification or widget to open the right one. Share a countdown as a link. Everything stays on your device. No account, no cloud, no tracking. PRICING Seven days free, then one payment. Your countdowns stay whether or not you buy, so nothing is lost if you unlock later.
