Smart Day is the calm, beautiful way to plan your day — and actually be ready for it. It's more than a calendar. Smart Day checks the traffic and the weather, and tells you when to wake up, when to leave, and what to wear — so you walk out the door on time, every time. No more scrambling in the morning, no more "what do I even wear," no more forgetting the thing you swore you'd remember. WHAT YOU GET - A calendar that feels good to use Add events in seconds — just type it naturally, like "watch the game with the boys friday 8pm," and Smart Day figures out the date and time. Events can repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. - Wake up and leave on time Tell Smart Day where you're going and where you're leaving from (home, work, or any address), and it works back from live traffic to tell you when to get up, when to be ready, and when to leave to arrive early. - Reminders that reach you A week before, a day before, an hour before — as many as you want, right on your lock screen, even when the app is closed. - Scan a schedule (Pro) Take a photo or screenshot of your class or work timetable and Smart Day reads every block and turns it into your weekly schedule — in seconds. You check everything before it's saved. - Your own AI outfit stylist (Pro) Tell it your plans and it puts together what to wear — dressed for the real forecast, the temperature swing, and whether you'll be inside or out. Date night, the gym, a big meeting? It has a look for it, and warns you about rain or cold before you head out. - Live weather, built in (Pro) Daily and hourly forecast, feels-like temperature, and UV index — right alongside your plans, for your exact location. - Your UV tan window (Pro) Smart Day reads the day's UV and tells you the best window to catch some sun — and when you'll want sunscreen or shade instead. - Shared calendars (Pro) Keep a calendar in sync with your partner, your family, or your best friend. - Your calendar on every device (Pro) Sign in with Apple or with email and password, and your whole agenda follows you to every iPhone and iPad. - National holidays Canada, United States, and Mexico — turn on any you follow and they show up on your calendar. - A to-do list and a "Today" home screen Your next event, your morning plan, today's weather-and-outfit line, and your top task the moment you open the app. - Two looks Soft and warm, or clean and cool.

A countdown that never loses your days — and never holds a widget back. Add the day that matters, put it on your home screen, and watch it come closer. No limit on how many you keep, and nothing between you and the number. EVERY WIDGET, FREE • Four widgets: one countdown, the next few in a list, a spotlight, or a tile for each • Every widget size, on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen • Unlimited events — there is no cap, and there never will be • Count down to a date, or count up from one • Recurring events: yearly, monthly, weekly, or every few days • Reminders on the day, and as far ahead as you want • iCloud sync, with no account to make • Import from a calendar, a spreadsheet, or another countdown app — and export any time • No ads, ever COUNT DOWN TO ANYTHING A wedding countdown, a vacation or trip countdown, a birthday or an anniversary. Christmas, New Year, Halloween and Thanksgiving. Exam day, graduation, retirement, a baby due date, a concert, a deadline, payday. Or count the days since a day that has already happened. YOUR DAYS, KEPT Most countdown apps lose your events at the worst moment — an update, a reinstall, a phone that died. This one takes a snapshot of everything on this device every single day, and always before anything risky. Thirty days of history, one tap to restore, and nothing ever leaves your phone. Days that have already passed are never deleted either: they collect into a timeline you can look back through, with the longest wait of each year written next to it. THE MOMENT ITSELF When a countdown reaches a milestone — a hundred days, a week, the morning of — the app opens on the number, full screen, and gives you a card worth sharing. THE BACK OF EVERY EVENT Tap an event and it turns over to a page of its own. Write a few lines, add photos, record a voice — the story of the day, kept with the day. It syncs with iCloud, goes into every backup, and shares as one picture. MADE TO LOOK LIKE YOURS Thirty-six ready-made events, from a birthday to a first day at work, each already set up with the right repeat and the right reminders. Two hundred drawn icons and the whole emoji keyboard. A hundred and fifty-nine full-screen backdrops — twenty-two of them photographs — a hundred and seven in Pro. COUNTDOWN PRO Pro unlocks the Pro backdrops, with a new drop every month, your own photos behind a countdown, the Pro typefaces, the Lock Screen Live Activity, and inviting someone to count down with you. Whatever you unlock while subscribed stays yours for good — cancelling only stops the new ones arriving. Your countdowns, reminders and widgets work the same whether you subscribe or not. ——— Countdown Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Prices for the annual plan, which includes a 7-day free trial, and the monthly plan are shown in the app before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings at any time. A one-time Lifetime purchase is also available; it does not renew.
