Retirement Countdown+ tells you how many days you really have left at work. Not calendar days: workdays, with your weekends, federal holidays and PTO and vacation days already taken off. THE NUMBER THAT MATTERS Most countdowns subtract one date from another and stop there. This one counts the days you still have to turn up, and the hours still to do. Set a last hour at work and it can show hours, minutes and seconds under the number. BUILT FOR SHIFT WORK Not everyone works Monday to Friday. Set any repeating pattern from 2 to 28 days, or start from a 9/80 schedule or four on, four off. A two-week preview shows which days you work, so you can check it before you trust the number. YOUR COUNTRY'S HOLIDAYS, BUILT IN Pick the United States and every federal holiday comes off, Juneteenth included, with weekend holidays moved to the day they are observed. It works out the dates for every year until you go, not just this one. Also built in: the United Kingdom (England and Wales), Canada, Australia, the days most of Europe shares, and a simple worldwide set. Or start from nothing and build your own list. Add your state holidays, floating holidays and company shutdown days yourself, then add the PTO and vacation days you have booked. All of it comes off the count. YOUR KEY RETIREMENT DATES Add your date of birth and the app lists the dates that matter on the way out: age 59½ (IRA and 401(k) withdrawals without the 10% early penalty), 62 (the earliest you can start Social Security), 65 (Medicare), your full Social Security retirement age, and when required minimum distributions begin. Dates only, from official sources. Not financial advice. NEW IN 2.0: A WIDGET Your countdown on your Home Screen in two sizes, and on your Lock Screen. It moves on at midnight even if you have not opened the app. SIX PAINTED THEMES Coast, Night Shift, Golf Course, Garden, Last Light and Quiet Library, each with its own painting and typeface. Or put your own photo behind the countdown. No paying per wallpaper. A REASON TO OPEN IT A new quote every morning, a check-in streak, milestones from one year out to the last full week, and your lasts: your last working Christmas, New Year and summer. Keep a bucket list of what retirement is actually for. WORTH SHARING Turn your countdown or the day's quote into a card and send it to whoever keeps asking when you are finishing. IT DOES NOT END AT ZERO On the day, fireworks in your theme's colors and a "You did it" card to share. After that it counts up, so you can see how long you have been free. ALSO INCLUDED - A morning reminder at 8am, if you want one - Backup and restore, so a new phone is not a fresh start - Your own date format WHAT IS FREE The calendar-day countdown, the widget and the morning reminder are free for good. Before you pay, the app shows your own workdays-left number. ONE PRICE. NO ADS. NO SUBSCRIPTION. One payment unlocks workday counting, your schedule, federal holidays and PTO, hours left at work, themes and your own photo, retirement dates, quotes, milestones, the bucket list, share cards and backup, for good. No banners, no video, nothing to pay to remove. Restore your unlock on a new phone with the same Apple Account.

Your wardrobe, digitised. Photograph a piece of clothing and it is cut out of its background and filed in your closet. Build outfits from what you actually own, arrange them the way you would lay them out on the bed, and plan what to wear. PHOTOGRAPH WHAT YOU OWN Snap a garment and the background is removed for you. Name it, tag the colour and the seasons, and it is filed away. SEE IT WORN A flat photo can be redrawn so it has the volume and drape of something on a body. Your flat cutout is always kept, so you can switch between them for free. BUILD LOOKS Swipe through tops, bottoms and shoes to put an outfit together, then drag each piece where you want it. A dress sits in the same rack as the tops: pick one and the bottom rack steps aside. Add a jacket or a bag as another layer. PLAN THE WEEK Pin a look to a day and see what is coming. YOUR WARDROBE STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Your photos, outfits and calendar live on the device. A photo is sent to our server only when you ask for a cutout or a 3D pass, and it is not stored there. SUBSCRIPTIONS Cutting a piece out and redrawing it in 3D both run on a paid image service. Everyone gets a free start; a plan covers a set number each month. Starter - USD 5.99 per month: 60 pieces added a month, 20 of them redrawn in 3D. Full - USD 14.99 per month: 200 pieces added a month, 50 of them redrawn in 3D. One-off credit packs are available if you run out mid-month. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Unused allowance does not carry over.
