Count down to what matters, right where you look: your Home Screen and Lock Screen. NanoCount is a complete countdown app with no account and no subscription. A holiday, a birthday, a wedding, a deadline, a due date or a passport that expires: put a countdown on it and see how many days are left at a glance. Or count up since a date to keep a streak going: smoke-free, together, working out. In the final hours it counts down live, to the second.

Verdict
