Days Until: Countdown If you're anything like me, you may have tried to keep everything in your brain, at once. I created Days Until: Countdown because I wanted a tool where I can practice intentionality (e.g., pausing and inputting the dates that were important). View this app as a relationship with intentionality, to pause, breathe, and track the things important to you. It's helpful to see your countdowns in one clean vertical list. Built for everyday life and professional work: lawyers tracking filing dates, legal assistants watching response deadlines, office managers keeping team dates visible, students watching exams, and anyone who wants important dates out of their head and in one clear place.
