Some things are worth counting down to. Dayception turns the dates that matter — birthdays, trips, launches, anniversaries, the big day — into beautiful countdowns you'll actually want to look at. Counted in sleeps, with a live timer ticking to the second as the day nears, on your iPhone, iPad and Mac. Most countdown apps stop at "days until." Dayception keeps going. THE INSIGHTS ENGINE Under every countdown is a real analytics engine that reads the shape of your year. See where your months cluster on a year heat-map. Get smart cards that surface what's coming — the next milestone, your busiest month, your longest countdown. Break the year down by category. And flip a date you've passed into a count-up, to mark the time since it mattered.
