How many days since your new job? Your first date? The day you moved in? DaysUp counts up from any moment, live to the second. See it at a glance on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Dynamic Island. Pick a starting point and DaysUp keeps a running count from then on. The big number is days; tap in for years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds, ticking in real time. WHAT PEOPLE TRACK • Days together, and anniversaries • Since a new job, or a new home • A new pet's age • A daily habit or practice • "Since I last ate out" • Anything you want to watch grow WHAT'S NEW • Made for iPhone Duo: half-fold it and your trackers spread across both screens • No ads, anywhere in the app • Design with AI: describe a feeling and get a card design. A badge shows whether it was made on your iPhone or with Apple's Private Cloud Compute • Customize: icon, style, colors and background glyph in one sheet • Your design follows your tracker to its widgets, Live Activity, Dynamic Island and StandBy • Today: all your counts in one quick daily check-in, with an optional reminder WIDGETS EVERYWHERE • Small and medium Home Screen widgets for any tracker • The Board widget shows all your trackers at once, in medium or large • Ring and Big Number widget styles • Lock Screen widgets • Live Activities on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a live ring toward your next milestone, also in your Apple Watch Smart Stack (Pro) MILESTONES & GOALS, ONLY IF YOU WANT THEM • Optional milestones celebrate a week, a month, a year, and beyond, with confetti • Optional goals show progress toward a target date or number of days • Keep it as simple as one number, or as rich as you like MAKE IT YOURS • Four card styles: minimal, bold, playful, and vivid • Color themes that look right in light and dark mode • A big library of symbols, and a background glyph that can match your icon or be its own • The AI card designer builds a look from a few words (Pro, needs Apple Intelligence) SHARE THE MOMENT • Turn any tracker into a shareable image, in four designs RESET WITHOUT JUDGMENT • For recurring "since last…" things, reset any time • DaysUp keeps a plain log of past counts: just dates and durations PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No ads and no tracking. DaysUp only counts anonymous app events (like "a tracker was added") to help improve the app, never your tracker names or dates • Your trackers sync across your devices with iCloud • Your tracker names and dates live in your own private iCloud account, not on our servers • The AI card designer runs on your iPhone, or on Apple's Private Cloud Compute DAYSUP PRO • Unlimited trackers • Live Activities on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Apple Watch Smart Stack • The AI card designer • Premium color and icon packs • Custom colors The free version covers 3 trackers and has no ads.
