The day you're waiting for, every time you open your phone. Birthday, vacation, exam, wedding, payday… Pick a date and Day Counter does the rest. The days left fill the screen — or follow them down to the second. YOUR WHOLE YEAR IN ONE CALENDAR Months sit two by two, and every counter's day is marked in its own color. Tap a day to see what's on it, or add a counter right there. COUNT DOWN TO THE SECOND See the time left in days, weeks, months, hours or live: 234 days 16 hours 32 minutes 54 seconds. Just tap the big number. IT COUNTS THE DAYS SINCE, TOO When the date passes, the counter keeps going the other way. How long since you started the new job, met, or quit smoking? It also shows the next milestone: "Day 1000 · 87 days to go". MONTHLY AND YEARLY DAYS Payday, rent and your card bill roll over every month by themselves. New Year, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and more come back every year. A FASTER DATE PICKER Today, tomorrow, +1 week, +1 month, +3 months, +1 year — one tap. Your other counters show up as dots in the calendar. SHARE IT TO YOUR STORY Turn a counter into a clean card and share it to your story or in a message. Story and square formats, with a colored progress row. HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN Big counter, progress bar, ring, calendar, list and Lock Screen widgets. On most of them you choose which counter appears. REMINDERS ON TIME A month, a week or a day before — or that morning. Get a summary of the week every Monday if you like. DAY COUNTER+ No ads, Night and Paper share themes, and Light and Dark widget styles. Yearly subscription (first 7 days free for new subscribers) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Every core feature stays free. The yearly subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. SIMPLE AND PRIVATE No account, no sign-in. Your counters stay on your phone. Light and dark theme; English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish and Arabic.
