Event Countdown Widget

How many days until the thing you are actually looking forward to?

List Countdown puts that number on your home screen. Add a date — a holiday, a birthday, a wedding, a flight, a deadline — and a widget counts the days down for you. No account, no cloud, no sign-up, and it all works with the phone in airplane mode.

★ HOME-SCREEN WIDGETS
• A single-event widget: one big number, the name, and the date
• Pin each widget to a different event, or let it follow whatever is soonest
• A compact "next 3 events" strip for everything coming up
• Tap any widget to open that event
• Widgets never show ads. Not one, not ever.
• Battery-friendly by design: they redraw when your data or the date changes, not on a timer that wakes your phone all day

★ A COUNTDOWN THAT KEEPS UP
• Days to go, at a glance, sorted soonest first
• Add a time and the final day ticks down in hours, minutes and seconds
• "Today" and "Tomorrow" say so in words, because that is what people say
• Days are counted in your own calendar, so a clock change never adds or loses one — and a flight to another timezone never moves the date

★ BIRTHDAYS AND ANNIVERSARIES
• Switch on yearly repeat and the countdown rolls over the moment the day ends
• A 29 February anniversary is observed on the 28th in the years without one
• Give each event an emoji and a colour so you know it from across the room

★ ALERTS AS THE DAY GETS CLOSER
• A heads-up 30 days out, 7 days out, the day before, and on the day
• Every event picks its own — switch them all off for the quiet ones
• Once each, never twice, and never for something that has already happened
• Battery-friendly: one inexact check a day, no exact alarms

★ THE DAYS SINCE, TOO
Events that have passed keep counting — upwards. Days since you started the job, since the move, since the day you want to remember. Or hide them in Settings if you would rather look forward only.

★ YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
• Works 100% offline — internet is used only to show ads
• No account, no cloud, no tracking of what you are counting down to
• Android cloud backup is switched off on purpose: data never leaves the device
• Export a readable JSON backup of every event and import it back any time. Never locked behind a paywall.

★ MADE TO FEEL GOOD
• No banner ads. Ever. Nothing sits on top of your list.
• Material You design that follows your wallpaper, light and dark themes
• Prefer no ads at all? Watch one short video and go ad-free for 24 hours

List Countdown needs an internet connection only to show ads. Adding events, the countdowns, the widgets, the alerts, export and import all work in airplane mode.

For screen readers:

• The New event button now says what it does. It was read out as just "Button".
• Each colour in the event editor is read by name, and the chosen one says it is chosen. The eight circles were eight identical buttons.
• The chosen emoji is announced as chosen, not only drawn with a border.
• The switch beside Time is named "Set a time of day". It was read as just "Switch".
