Make every day count. Deadline counts down to the things that matter: a trip, a launch, an exam, a birthday, the end of the year. See the days, hours, minutes and seconds left, and how far along you are. COUNT DOWN TO ANYTHING β€’ Give it a name and a date, and a time if you like. β€’ Pick a color and an icon for each deadline. β€’ Jump to a week, a month or a year from now, or start with the end of the year in one tap. β€’ Pin the ones that matter most. Search, sort and share the rest. ALWAYS IN VIEW β€’ Widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen: one deadline, or the next few coming up. β€’ A New Deadline control in Control Center. β€’ Reminders the day before and on the day. WHEN WILL I DIE? A short survey estimates your time from life tables and published research. See your time in numbers, like the weeks and summers you have left, and what shapes your estimate. It's a statistical estimate for motivation, not medical advice. Talk to a doctor about your health. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Your deadlines and answers stay on your device.
