What is there to say about a countdown app? It counts down. You add the things you can't wait for. Countdown tells you how long is left, in years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds, ticking live on a card you'll actually want to look at. And when the day has come and gone, it keeps counting, so "the day we moved in" becomes "2 years, 3 months and 14 days ago". Memories with a running clock. THE SLIDER Drag it to measure how anxious you are. 2 months? Fine. 9 weeks? Getting real. 1,616 hours? Go pack. THE SMALL THINGS, DONE WITH CARE ⢠Birthdays that come back: mark an event as yearly and it rolls forward on its own, telling you which time it is ⢠Photos, because the home screen deserves it: a picture turns every card into a little poster ⢠Eight quiet colours, one for every mood ⢠Widgets for the home screen and the lock screen: the next event, always in sight ⢠Reminders on the day, one day before, one week before ⢠Past events count up, with totals in days, weeks, hours and minutes ⢠English and Portuguese, following your phone FREE iCLOUD SYNC iPhone and iPad, always the same list. No account, no server, nothing to sign up for. YOUR DATA IS YOUR DATA Everything lives on your phone and in your own iCloud. Nothing is collected, tracked or sent anywhere. And you can always take it with you: export a CSV with all your events, keep it in Files or Drive, import it back on any device. Changed your Apple ID? Lost a phone? Moving to another app? The file is a plain spreadsheet, so even if you leave, you still know when everything happened. FREE FOR TEN EVENTS Ten events cover most of life's waiting. Need more? Countdown Unlimited is a single purchase, not a subscription, and it follows your Apple ID to every device. Widgets, reminders, sync and backup are free for everyone. Made by one person.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple Baby Widget at none against Vitrine's 1. Vitrine's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
