Countdown Widget vs Proximum

Countdowns helps you count down to something you're looking forward to, whether that's a wedding, birthday, or new iPhone! Need to count up from it instead? No problem! Designed to be more than a timer app, Countdowns is great for keeping tabs on how long it is until something, or how long it is since it happened. Count up from the last time you had a cigarette and down to your next cookie — if it happened in the past or is happening in the future, Countdowns keeps track of the time so you don't need to. Countdowns can keep your timers running no matter where you are. Available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, Countdowns can sync your timers between your devices so you're always up to speed. As a free download, Countdowns offers the following features: - Gorgeous, colorful widgets on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. - An unlimited number of countdowns. - Repeating timers which are perfect for birthdays and similar events. - Siri & Shortcuts integrations. - Support for importing events from calendars, reminders, and contacts. - Multiple unit options (days, weeks, etc.) and icons to make your countdown your very own. - Dark mode. - And more! An optional monthly, annual, or one-time in-app purchase unlocks additional features, including: - iCloud support to keep all of your timers in sync across iPhones, iPads, and Macs. - A compact display mode so you can see more timers at once. - Lists so you can more easily organize your timers — put all of your birthday timers in a list, for example. - Directional indicators so you always know whether a timer is counting up or down. - Custom notifications and sounds so you'll never miss a timer again. - Archive function that saves old timers. Countdowns subscriptions can be canceled at any time, but will renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the next payment is due.

Proximum puts your next events where you actually look — the Home Screen, the Lock Screen, and StandBy — in a clean, customizable widget. No app to open, no clutter. Just what's coming up. It reads every calendar already on your iPhone, so iCloud, Google, Exchange and Outlook all show up together the moment you grant access. Nothing to configure, no extra sign-ins. THREE WAYS TO SEE YOUR DAY • List — a dense, glanceable agenda grouped by day • Spotlight — your next event front and center with a bold countdown • Timeline — a vertical time-spine with a live "now" marker SMART, AT A GLANCE • Automatic event icons — flights, workouts, birthdays, meetings, calls and more • A free/busy summary line: how many events today and when you're next free • A live progress bar on whatever's happening right now • Relative countdowns ("in 25m") so you always know how long you've got WIDGETS FOR EVERY SPACE • Home Screen — small, medium and large • Lock Screen — inline, rectangular and a countdown ring • StandBy — glanceable on your nightstand • A "+N more" row so a packed day never gets cut off awkwardly MAKE IT YOURS • Six hand-tuned themes, or build your own colors • Recolor every event to match the theme, add an ambient glow, or keep your calendar colors • Choose how many events, how many days ahead, and the density • Group by day; sort by time, duration or title • Font design and text size — including Easy-to-Read Times • Pick exactly which calendars appear, and mute events by keyword • Every widget can override the defaults with its own look A BEAUTIFUL IN-APP AGENDA Open Proximum for the full, scrollable version of your widget feed — the same curated events, grouped by day, with rich detail a tap away. PROXIMUM PRO — OPTIONAL, ONE-TIME Unlock once and keep it forever. Never a subscription. • One-tap Join — Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, Whereby and more, straight from the widget • Leave-by travel alerts — Proximum works out when you need to head out for your next event and tells you before you're late • Live Activity — your next event on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, counting down • Week at a Glance — a heat-map widget showing how busy your next seven days are • Day briefing and double-booking alerts, written entirely on your device • An optional morning digest notification, at a time you choose PRIVATE BY DESIGN Proximum reads your calendars read-only and renders them on your device. Your events are never uploaded, there are no accounts and no Proximum servers, and there is no tracking or advertising. What's on your calendar stays on your iPhone. Leave-by travel alerts are opt-in and off by default. Turn them on and your location and your event's address are used to ask Apple Maps for an ETA — exactly like asking for directions. Proximum never receives, stores or transmits that anywhere else. BUILT FOR iOS Native SwiftUI and WidgetKit, designed for iOS 17 and later. Light and dark, Dynamic Type friendly, and fast. Add Proximum to your Home Screen and always know what's next.
