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.

Make room for your thoughts. Muun brings your written notes, voice recordings, and next steps into one calm workspace. Capture an idea before it disappears, give it a home, and return to it when you need it. WRITE OR SPEAK Start a written note or record your voice with speech transcription. Keep the original recording alongside your note and listen again whenever you like. A HOME FOR EVERY IDEA Organize notes into folders, add hashtags, pin the ones that matter, and search your library. Archive thoughts for later or restore a note from Recently Deleted. SEE THE CONNECTIONS Link related notes, explore topic groups and a visual connection graph, or browse your thoughts on a timeline. SMALL STEPS, MADE CLEAR Keep checklists inside your notes and see unfinished items in Today. Review suggested tasks and optionally add scheduled steps to your calendar. ASK YOUR NOTES Find answers and create weekly summaries using an available on-device model. You can also connect your own supported provider API key in Settings. Model availability varies by device and language; external providers may charge for use. YOUR NOTES, YOUR PACE Choose light, dark, or system appearance. Muun follows your preferred supported device language: English or Turkish. Export notes as Markdown files. Notes, folders, and tasks sync through your private iCloud database when iCloud is available; audio recordings stay on the device where they were made. Speech recognition runs on the device when supported; otherwise Apple's speech service may process audio. If you connect an external AI provider, relevant note text is sent to that provider for answers and summaries. A little less noise. A little more room to think.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Muun at none against Countdowns's 6. Muun also leads on ads (none vs shown). Countdowns's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On price there is nothing between them.
