Read full descriptionHide full description
CountCal is a calendar-based date log for work, life events, and equipment or service-use days. Tap the dates that matter, see your totals, and keep track of day limits in one place. WORK & TRAVEL Record work-from-home days, office attendance, business trips, annual leave, and PTO. Review your days by week, month, year, or a custom date range. LIFE EVENTS & BIG DAYS Keep a personal log of movie days, gym days, big meals, nights with friends, and other memorable occasions. Start with the Fitness template or create a project with your own name, color, and icon. EQUIPMENT & SERVICE USE Remember which dates you used a car, tools, shared equipment, or a service. Count usage days against a day-based allowance, or track them without a limit. Each project counts a calendar date once; it does not count multiple sessions within the same day. RECORD QUICKLY, REVIEW CLEARLY • Record today from Home, fill in past dates, or mark future plans. • Select a date in Calendar to see your active projects and open the relevant record. • Open Insights from Home and switch projects, or review the period you are browsing from the recording page. • Compare recorded days, future plans, weekday patterns, and period progress. TOTALS, LIMITS & REMINDERS • Choose weekly, monthly, yearly, or fixed custom periods. • Set an optional day limit and see used, remaining, and over-limit totals. • Future dates are plans and count toward the period allowance; historical patterns use days that have already occurred. • Keep recording even after a limit is exceeded. • Set date reminders or remaining-days reminders. REPORTS & EVERYDAY ACCESS Create a report image and choose whether to hide project names, dates, and future plans before sharing. Use iPhone and iPad widgets and Shortcuts to open a project, record today, or view remaining days. The Record Today widget opens CountCal to complete the action. Apple Watch provides another way to record and review your days. YOUR RECORDS, YOUR DEVICES Core tracking works offline. When iCloud is available, projects and records can sync through your private iCloud database. Notification permissions and schedules are managed on each device. Archive projects or export the data visible on your device as JSON. No developer account, subscription, or in-app purchase is required for this release. CountCal is for personal recordkeeping, not proof of tax, visa, medical, or employment compliance.
