Big Day is a countdown and day counter for the events you care about. See days until your wedding, vacation, birthday or exam at a glance — on your Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. SEE YOUR BIG DAY, EVERYWHERE A live counter of days, hours and minutes until (or since) the moment that matters — right in your app, on your Home Screen, and on your Lock Screen. WIDGETS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER Add a Lock Screen widget or a Home Screen widget for each countdown. Pin your wedding, your flight, and your best friend's birthday all at once — no need to open the app to check. A THEME FOR EVERY OCCASION Warm gradient themes for weddings, travel, birthdays, and deadlines. Pick a look that matches the moment, not a one-size-fits-all timer.
