You're excited about that upcoming trip/party/holiday! Ahead keeps the dates you care about in view. Create countdowns for trips, birthdays, launches, anniversaries, deadlines, and the holidays you never want to miss. Ahead gives each date a clear card, a flexible schedule, and widgets that make your next moment glanceable without opening the app. What you can do: • Create recurring countdowns for daily, monthly, or annual events. • Add holiday countdowns from built-in country, seasonal, and religious calendars. • Choose actual or observed holiday dates where available. • Style each card with gradients, text color, icons, and optional artwork. • Choose your own artwork from Photos. • Pin one, two, or four countdowns in configurable widgets. • Keep countdowns synced between iPhone and iPad and available to widgets. Ahead is built for the small moments and the big ones: the flight you booked, the birthday you nearly forgot, the launch date you are counting toward, and the holidays that deserve their own place on your screen.

Receipts in Photos. Service details in Notes. Warranty dates on paper. GarageProof brings them into one proof-ready vehicle record. EVERY SERVICE, ONE HISTORY • Record visits with multiple maintenance items, parts, fluids, costs, providers, mileage, and notes. • Attach receipts, photos, PDFs, and other source files to the record they belong to. • Keep odometer readings, documents, and service events on one searchable timeline. KNOW WHAT'S DUE • Track maintenance by date, mileage, or both. • See why an item is Due, Due Soon, On Track, or Later. • Complete a due item by recording the service. READY TO KEEP OR SHARE • Generate a readable PDF vehicle dossier. • Export normalized CSV files. • Create and restore full backups. • No account required; core features work offline. LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN Records and attachments are stored in the app's local storage. GarageProof doesn't sync records through iCloud. System-controlled device backups may still include app data. Exports are created only when you start one, and you choose where to save or share them. GarageProof organizes information you enter. It does not diagnose vehicles, certify records, independently verify attachments, or guarantee resale value. Lifetime Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks multiple active vehicles and custom Garage card backgrounds. Core records, reminders, backups, CSV export, and PDF dossiers remain available without Pro.
