Until Then - Event Countdown is a clean, ad-free way to count down to the moments you're waiting for. • Create as many events as you like - birthdays, trips, anniversaries, deadlines - each with its own emoji, color and optional photo. See exactly how long is left, down to the second on the day itself. • Home Screen widgets in every size, plus Lock Screen widgets • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island in the final hours • Custom reminders - as many as you want, from hours to months before • Yearly events that roll over automatically for birthdays & anniversaries • Optional iCloud sync across your iPhone and iPad * Share time left with others * Time zone aware or constant time - your choice * Count up from event, or continue to count after the event arrived * Siri & shortcuts integration No ads. No tracking. No accounts. No locked features. Everything stays on your device. I built it for myself because every other countdown app I tried was full of ads and paywalls. I'm sharing it in case it's useful to you too - free, clean, and it'll stay that way.
