eve - countdown to what matters eve is a beautifully minimal countdown app that keeps your most-anticipated moments always in view - on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and in Siri. Add a moment in seconds. Give it a name, pick a date and time, choose an accent color, and you're done. eve handles everything else. A widget for every spot. Choose from three widget sizes - Small, Medium, and Large for your Home Screen, plus Lock Screen and StandBy widgets that show a live countdown at a glance. Tap the cycle button on larger widgets to flip through all your upcoming moments without ever opening the app. Live Activity & Dynamic Island. Pin your most important event and eve puts a live countdown on your Lock Screen and in your Dynamic Island, counting down the hours and minutes as the moment approaches. Set how early it activates - anywhere from 24 hours down to 1 hour before. Ask Siri. Tell Siri "Add an event in eve" and it creates a countdown by voice. Ask "What's next in eve" to hear your nearest upcoming event read back to you - no screen required. Always accurate, always live. Day view counts down in days. When your event is less than a day away, eve switches to hours and minutes. In the final hour, a live timer ticks in real time across both the app and your widget.

InSight Countdown

Keep what matters in sight. InSight Countdown turns the wait for what matters into something you look forward to seeing. Set a countdown to an exact date and time โ€” your flight, an exam, a birthday, a deadline โ€” not just a vague duration. A huge, glanceable countdown fills your screen, ticking down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds to the precise moment. FEATURES โ€ข Count down to an exact date & time Pick the exact calendar date and time of your event โ€” or a simple duration when that's all you need. The closest event is always front and center. Add a note โ€” flight number, gate, address โ€” shown in small type under the name. โ€ข Synced across your devices Your countdowns stay in sync between iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your private iCloud โ€” the same events, each keeping its own visualization, follow you everywhere. Your countdowns are yours โ€” their content is never sent to us. โ€ข Choose how time looks Watch time melt away in a draining hourglass, a progress ring, a rounded bar, a Time-Timer-style shrinking disc, a dot grid, a dot dial, a solar eclipse, an unwinding spiral, or a sun along its day arc โ€” plus themed styles: a Christmas tree lighting up branch by branch, a birthday cake whose candles flicker on, a beach parasol opening as the sun rises, a juice glass that fills, a dumbbell loading up plate by plate, a car climbing a mountain road, a plane arcing around a globe, and lit-up landmarks (the Eiffel Tower, Burj Khalifa). Pick a look that fits the occasion โ€” a parasol for a trip, a cake for a birthday โ€” so a glance tells you what's coming. Swipe to switch right on the countdown; each remembers its own. Landscape keeps a linear bar. โ€ข Make it yours Pick a digit font โ€” from a clean system face to a retro seven-segment LCD โ€” and tint the whole app with a preset accent color or any color you choose. โ€ข Many countdowns, one glance The nearest event takes the main screen; the rest sit in a quick-access bottom bar. Choose per countdown when it takes the main screen โ€” always, only when it's near, only on its day, or never โ€” so a far-off event doesn't crowd out nearer ones. Or watch several at once on any device: Duo fits two to your screen, and a large grid shows four. iPad and Mac add a denser small grid and a zoomed layout that enlarges the nearest event. Called off? Archive it instead of deleting โ€” it waits until you set a new date. โ€ข Daily & weekly repeats Set a countdown to repeat every day, or on the weekdays you choose (say Mon/Wed/Fri), and it rolls forward automatically after it finishes โ€” great for routines, classes, standups, and recurring reminders. โ€ข Beat procrastination โ€” and have fun doing it A deadline you can see is harder to ignore. Keep the countdown in front of you โ€” full screen or on the Lock Screen โ€” and watch the remaining time melt away. Better yet, the task you kept putting off becomes a screen you want to watch. โ€ข Lock Screen & Dynamic Island Show your countdowns as Live Activities on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Choose per countdown when it appears. โ€ข Doubles as an alarm across your devices The instant a countdown hits zero, an alert breaks through silent mode and Focus โ€” and on iOS 26 it rings until you dismiss it โ€” or snooze it for five more minutes โ€” so any countdown works as a full alarm. Add an early reminder (from 10 seconds to a day before), or ring the alarm up to 3 minutes ahead. Because your countdowns sync through iCloud, the same alarm can ring on whichever device is with you. โ€ข iPhone, iPad & Mac The full-screen countdown adapts to any size and rotation โ€” a phone in your pocket, an iPad propped up as an always-on display, or a resizable Mac window. The controls fade away when you're not touching the screen, leaving just the countdown. โ€ข Stays awake when you want Optional screen-lock control keeps the display on โ€” always or only while charging โ€” so your countdown stays in sight. Free. No account needed. Your countdowns are yours.
