How many hours until your shift ends? How much have you made today? DoneAt answers both. Set your start and end times, and the countdown takes out your lunch break, so you see how much work is really left. The basic shift countdown is always free. On your wrist, too The Apple Watch app is free. Add a complication to your watch face and just raise your wrist to see how long until you're done. However you work • 9 to 5, alternating weeks, rotating shifts, night shifts past midnight: you can schedule them all. • Set your own lunch break. When lunch starts, the countdown pauses, and that time doesn't count toward your hours. • Came in early, leaving early, working overtime, or want to time a day you weren't scheduled? Just change that day, not your whole schedule. • Free roster: if your shifts are all over the place, plan each day yourself. The brush makes it quick: pick a shift, then tap or swipe across the calendar. Different summer and winter hours? Shifts can switch times by date automatically. • Want to see your pay? Turn on Money Earned Today, plus weekly and yearly earnings totals. Rather not? Leave it off. • Get reminders to start, stop, take lunch, or get up and move. • Plan time off: enter how much PTO and comp time you have left. DoneAt checks holidays and your shifts, finds the time off that works, and adds the one you pick in one tap. No need to open the app Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus Live Activities and Dynamic Island on supported iPhone models. iPhone landscape and iPad get their own layouts. Share your countdown as an image or a link. Available in 19 languages, following your system language. Made for iPhone Duo Unfold it and every page splits into two columns, so you see more at once. Half-fold it and the countdown switches to a split-screen view. Free to use The shift countdown is always free.

About

HomeStretch Countdown

Read full description

The part of the day you actually watch the clock for is the last one. HomeStretch puts that part on your Lock Screen. Make a counter for whatever you are inside of — the school day, the shift, the workday, the workout, the fast — and say when it ends. That is the whole setup. When the end gets close, a Live Activity appears on its own, counts down, and goes away when you have made it. WHAT YOU GET • Six templates to start from: School day, Shift, Workday, Workout, Fast, or your own • Repeating counters on the weekdays you pick, one-off counters, and quick countdowns • Six countdown styles: digits, dots, bar, ring, an LED clock, and a sentence you write yourself • Six palettes, all readable on a bright screen • Dynamic Island, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and wherever iOS mirrors Live Activities: Apple Watch Smart Stack and StandBy • A notification when the home stretch starts, and one when it is over • Dynamic Type and VoiceOver throughout ONE HONEST LIMIT iOS ends every Live Activity after eight hours, so a home stretch is at most 7 hours 45 minutes long. If the end is days away, a widget carries the countdown until then and the Lock Screen takes over by itself when the home stretch begins. There are no background tricks here: HomeStretch does not run while you are not looking, and it does not need to. HOMESTRETCH PRO Free gives you one counter, the digits and dots styles, three palettes and one widget configuration — enough for the one thing you count down every day. HomeStretch Pro adds: • Unlimited counters • All six styles, including bar, ring, sentence and the LED clock • All six palettes • Your own sentence templates around the countdown • Siri Shortcuts and a Control Center button • Quick countdowns straight from Shortcuts • End a countdown with an alarm that rings through Silent mode and Focus Three plans: Yearly and Monthly are auto-renewing subscriptions — Yearly opens with a 7-day free trial — and Lifetime is a single purchase, not a subscription. The price in your own currency is shown before you buy, and you can restore a purchase on any of your devices. PRIVACY No account, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics beyond purchases. Your counters and your history stay on your device. Notifications are scheduled locally — there is no push and no server of ours.
