Countdown Widget Go vs DayRings

Countdown shows you exactly how long until the things you care about, or how long it's been since. Make one for a birthday, a trip, an anniversary, an exam, your last day at work, or just New Year. It sits on your Home Screen and your Lock Screen so you see it every time you pick up your phone. Every countdown is yours to customize. Pick an emoji, set a color or let it adapt to light and dark mode, drop in your own photo as the background, and tag it however you like. Set it as an all-day event or count down to the minute. Repeating events roll forward on their own, and the repeats are smart: "last Friday of the month" stays the last Friday instead of drifting to a fixed date. The widgets are the point for a lot of people. Single-event widgets come in four styles — a big number, a progress ring, a progress bar, or number tiles — for the Home Screen, plus circular, rectangular, and inline versions for the Lock Screen. Track several events at once with the medium and large widgets. Empty slots fill in with whatever's coming up next, and anything you pin jumps to the front. What you get: - Count down to a future date or up from a past one - Home Screen widgets in four styles, plus Lock Screen widgets - Your own photos as widget backgrounds - Smart repeats: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, including patterns like "2nd Tuesday" that don't drift - Emoji, custom colors, and tags - Pin your favorites and reorder by hand - Reminders the day before, a week before, or when the day arrives - Choose which units you see, from years down to seconds - Count only the days that matter by skipping weekends or any weekday you pick - Sort by soonest, latest, name, or date added - Works in nine languages Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no servers, no tracking. The app is free, has no ads, and nothing is locked behind a purchase.

"How many days left, again?" — DayRings puts the answer on your Home Screen as a ring, for the deadlines you can't afford to forget and the dates you can't wait for. License renewals, car inspections, warranty expirations, submission deadlines — the "forget it and you'll regret it" kind. Birthdays, anniversaries, concerts, trips — the "can't wait for it" kind. Two very different kinds of "how long until," managed with the same ring. ■ The widget is the whole point Just place a ring on your Home Screen or Lock Screen. You'll know how many days are left without ever opening the app. Home Screen small/medium widgets, plus three Lock Screen styles (circular/rectangular/inline). ■ Two ways to use it, one app Register practical deadlines and exciting countdowns side by side. Turn on "repeats yearly" for birthdays and anniversaries, and they automatically roll forward to next year's date — no re-entering required. ■ Choose how the ring moves Switch anytime between "Fill Up" (the ring fills with color as the date approaches — great for birthdays) and "Count Down" (only the remaining time stays colored — great for deadlines). ■ Color tells you the urgency Rings stay in your chosen color while there's time, turn yellow at 7 days or less, and turn red at 2 days or less (or overdue) — so you feel the urgency without opening the app. ■ iCloud Sync Your rings sync to your other devices via iCloud (can be turned off in Settings; your local data stays even if you do). ■ Notifications Choose independently: 7 days before, 3 days before, the day before, and the day of. ■ Privacy Nothing about your rings is ever sent off your device. Ads are non-personalized only — no sensitive data such as health information is ever touched. * This app helps you track deadlines such as license renewals and inspections; always confirm legally binding dates with the relevant official source.
