About

TageBis

Features
Read full description

Countdowns for everything you are waiting for - with widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. All widgets free, at no extra cost. No subscription, no ads, no tracking. App Store privacy label: Data Not Collected. The whole app is 1.1 MB - comparable countdown apps run into the hundreds of megabytes. Add an event in under ten seconds and see exactly how many days are left. When something is less than two days away, the countdown switches to hours. The widgets show your countdown without opening the app. They roll over at midnight, on the day, not whenever the system feels like refreshing. Reminders reach you on the day itself, and optionally 1, 7 or 30 days before. Events can be shared as an image: one tap and the countdown goes out as a message. Your first 3 events are free, widgets included. If you need more, one payment unlocks everything, forever. Nothing ever leaves your device. Family Sharing is included.

Countdown turns your calendars into a clear, bold countdown of the days left until every date that matters — work deadlines, birthdays, bills, trips and exams. • Big, glanceable numbers: "12 days", "Tomorrow", and hours and minutes on the final day. • A timeline drawn to scale, so busy weeks look busy. • Imports from Apple Calendar, Google, Exchange and Reminders — every event, only the calendars you pick, or just the ones matching keywords like "deadline", "birthday" or "exam". • Birthdays from your contacts, always the next one, with the age. • Categories and tags with their own colors, icons and reminder schedules. • Widgets for the Home Screen, Lock Screen, StandBy and Mac desktop, with a done button. • Live Activities count down the final hours on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — automatically on the day, or pin anything. • Siri and Shortcuts: "How many days until my next deadline?" • Syncs through your own iCloud. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Try everything free for 7 days — nothing is charged automatically. Then unlock Countdown for life with one purchase, shared with your family through Family Sharing. In English and Spanish.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: TageBis at weekly against Countdown's monthly. TageBis also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Countdown's advantage is device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
