Dayward: Countdown Widgets

Dayward shows how long is left until the days that matter, and how long it has been since the ones that already happened — without opening a calendar.

Home-screen widgets that stay right
Add a small 2×2 widget for one occasion or a wide 4×2 widget for your next three. Widgets follow your next occasion automatically, or show exactly the occasions you choose. They update the moment you change something and roll over shortly after midnight, so the number on your home screen is the number you would get by counting on a calendar.

Made for real dates
• Birthdays and anniversaries repeat every year and roll over the day after they happen.
• 29 February occasions let you decide whether they count on 28 February or 1 March in other years.
• All-day occasions count calendar days; timed occasions keep the time zone they were created in.
• Daylight-saving changes never add or remove a day.

Yours to style
Ten illustrated covers, eight original colour themes, or your own photo with a legible overlay. Light and dark looks. Preview the widget live while you set it up.

Start in seconds
Pick a ready-made idea such as a birthday, vacation or New Year's Day, then adjust it. Each occasion also shows the time left in days, weeks and months, what year it marks, and can be added to your calendar.

Optional reminders
Turn on a reminder per occasion — on the day, or 1 day to 1 month before — at the time you choose. Dayward tells you plainly that Android may delay it by up to an hour to save battery.

Share a countdown card
Export a clean 1080×1350 image through the Android share sheet. You see the exact image before it leaves your phone; notes are included only if you tick the box.

Find things fast
Search, filter by category (birthday, anniversary, holiday, travel, deadline, other) and sort by soonest, title or recently added.

Your data stays yours
No account needed. Your occasions, notes and photos are stored on your phone and are never uploaded. Save a backup file whenever you like and restore it on a new phone; you see what the file contains before anything changes.

Dayward is free with ads. An optional yearly subscription removes all ads and changes nothing else.
