Big Day: Countdown Timer

Count down to what matters. See it on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Apple Watch.

Countdown turns any date into a live countdown you can actually see — no opening an app, no digging through a calendar. Your next trip, your wedding, your exam, your due date. Always one glance away.

FREE, AND ACTUALLY FREE
No ads. Not on the free tier, not ever. No banners, no video walls, no "watch this to unlock."

WIDGETS THAT DO MORE
• Home Screen widgets in every size — small, medium, large, and inline
• Lock Screen widgets so you see it without unlocking
• Live Activities — watch the final hours tick down in real time on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Interactive widgets — mark events done or snooze right from the Home Screen
• Apple Watch complication showing your next event

COUNT DOWN — OR COUNT UP
Days until your holiday. Or days since you quit smoking, since the baby arrived, since you started. Both directions, same app.

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
• Recurring events that reset themselves — birthdays, anniversaries, rent, monthly deadlines
• Weekday-only counting for work deadlines (17 working days, not 24 calendar days)
• Multiple alerts per event — a week out, a day out, an hour out
• Categories with colors and icons — travel, family, work, health
• Custom photo backgrounds from your library or our gallery
• Choose exactly what shows: years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds
• Share a countdown to iMessage in one tap
