Countdown
Read full descriptionHide full description
Count the days to what you are actually waiting for. Countdown keeps your next event on the Home Screen and shows exactly how many days, hours and minutes are left: a wedding, a trip, a birthday, a due date, an exam, the end of a deployment. WHAT THE FREE PLAN GIVES YOU - 3 events, each with one reminder (or watch a short ad for one extra event) - 2 of the 8 display styles: Large and Minimal - 3 of the 6 backgrounds: solid, gradient and glass - Every widget, Lock Screen and inline included - Pin, favorite, archive, search and a timeline view WITH PRO - Unlimited events - Repeating events: yearly, monthly, weekly - The other 6 display styles: Flip Clock, Circular, Progress Ring, Progress Bar, Digital and Elegant - Animated backgrounds: moving gradient, stars and particles - A color wheel instead of the 8 preset colors - Up to 8 reminders on a single event: at the event, 1 hour, 12 hours, 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days before - No ads REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY ARRIVE A reminder is scheduled as a fixed instant, not as a time of day, so a flight across time zones or a daylight-saving change does not move it. iOS only holds 64 pending notifications per app, so this version keeps the nearest ones and rebuilds the list every time you open the app: the birthday next week no longer loses its place to an anniversary three years out. COMMON QUESTIONS Do I need Pro to put a countdown on the Home Screen? No. Every widget works on the free plan, Lock Screen ones included. Does it need an internet connection or an account? Neither. Everything stays on the device and there is nothing to sign up for. What happens to a birthday once the day passes? If you set it to repeat, it moves itself to next year the first time you open the app afterwards, and its reminders move with it. How many reminders can one event have? One on the free plan, up to eight with Pro. Can it count up from a date that has already passed? Yes, in days. Once a date has been past for a full day, the event shows how many days ago it was. Repeating events (Pro) jump to the next date instead. What language is the app in? It follows your iPhone. The interface is translated into 34 languages. PERFECT FOR Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, trips, exams, due dates, retirement, product launches, Christmas, sobriety milestones and deployments.

Keep your days together in sight. Flowment brings anniversaries, countdowns and small moments of care to your Home Screen. YOUR DAYS, TOGETHER Count the days since you met, remember an anniversary, or look forward to your next visit. Give each Home Screen widget its own card and choose a theme that feels like you. A SPACE FOR TWO Invite your partner to a Duo Space for shared cards. Keep meaningful dates and words together, leave notes, and send a βMiss youβ or βHugβ. Each person can belong to one space with up to two members. EVERYDAY ENCOURAGEMENT With companion check-ins, one person checks in while the other sends reminders and encouragement. Record shared activities, or use Last Time to remember how long it has been since your last date, walk or trip together. CALENDAR AND CHINESE ALMANAC Browse personal events and subscribed schedules in the calendar. Explore calendar sources or import a supported ICS subscription link. View lunar dates and traditional almanac guidance, and look up dates for specific activities. Almanac information is provided for cultural reference. MAKE ROOM FOR YOURSELF Create personal countdown, anniversary, text and check-in cards. Customize supported themes with your own photos and text styles, and arrange your cards in the order you prefer. Personal cards are not automatically shared with your partner. FREE TO START, WITH OPTIONAL PRO The free plan includes 3 personal cards, 1 shared card and 1 custom theme import slot. Shared history is available to both members without Pro. Flowment Pro offers unlimited personal cards and custom theme imports, personal cloud sync, personal data export, and up to 50 shared cards in your Duo Space. While your Duo Space is active, one person's Pro gives both members access to Pro features. Separately sold themes are not included in Pro. Choose a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings. Buying Lifetime does not automatically cancel an existing subscription. Local personal cards do not require registration. Personal cloud sync requires an eligible entitlement. Personal photos and imported theme files stay on your device; sharing Pro does not share your personal cards or photos.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Flowment at none against Countdown's shown. Flowment also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Countdown sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Flowment sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Countdown ships an update every 3 weeks, Flowment every 8 days. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
