Karm is a minimal daily task app built around one simple idea: unfinished work does not disappear. It follows you forward until it gets done. Add what needs doing today. Check tasks off as you finish them. Anything left undone automatically carries forward to tomorrow, so important work does not slip out of sight. As tasks age, Karm makes them easier to notice. Older tasks become visually heavier, helping you see what has been waiting and what you have been avoiding. Karm is built for daily use: no complex projects, tags, boards, or clutter. Just today’s tasks, your unfinished work, and a clear history of what got done.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Karm at none against Countdown's 1. Karm also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Countdown's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
