Open it and you're already halfway there.
Pick a photo of the place you're going and the countdown fills the screen with it, seconds ticking. It's the thing you show someone at dinner when they ask how long until the trip.
- Your own photo behind the numbers
- Include a time when the exact hour matters
- Cross the days off as they go
The date is usually on your calendar already.
Turn any event into a countdown and it stays tied to that event. When the flight moves to Thursday, the countdown moves too. Your normal alerts stay as they were, so nothing buzzes twice.
- Link a calendar event, or add a date that lives nowhere else
- Repeat Yearly carries birthdays and anniversaries forward
- Feature the date that matters most, even if it's farther away
Every time you unlock your phone, one day closer.
Put a Countdowns widget on your Home Screen and the nearest date leads, with more upcoming moments behind it when the size has room.
- Widgets for Home Screen, iPad and Mac
- Photo rows show the picture you chose
- Tap a countdown to open its poster
