Coming Up: Countdown Widget

Something wonderful is coming up. Watch it get closer.

Coming Up turns the days you're looking forward to into gorgeous, glowing countdowns. Trips, birthdays, concerts, holidays, the big day: every event gets its own living aurora of color, a giant countdown, and a place on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Apple Watch.

Fully compatible with iPhone Duo, too. Open it up, flat or folded, and your next event and your list each get their own side of the fold.

EVERY EVENT GETS ITS OWN GLOW
• 12 hand-tuned color themes, each a softly drifting aurora
• Use one of your own photos instead, zoomed and positioned just the way you like
• Add an emoji, a category, and notes like gate numbers or gift ideas
• A live preview shows exactly how your countdown will look as you create it

WATCH THE FINAL HOURS TICK BY
• In the last 24 hours, the day count becomes a live clock: hours, minutes, seconds
• A Live Activity counts down on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
• Add a time for concerts, flights, and parties, or keep it all-day
• Confetti when the day finally arrives

SEE THE WAIT EVERY WHICH WAY
• Years, months, and days, or weeks and days
• Sleeps to go, weekends to go, hours, and minutes
• Optional progress bars show how much of the wait is already behind you

COUNT UP, TOO
• Track the days since anything: anniversaries, new jobs, streaks, milestones
• Celebrate 100 days, 1 year, 1,000 days, and every milestone along the way

YOUR HOME SCREEN, LOCK SCREEN, AND WRIST
• Small, medium, and large widgets, bathed in each event's colors or its photo
• Medium and large widgets show your next event big, with the next three right behind it
• Lock Screen widgets with day counts and ticking timers
• Choose what each widget shows: your next event, a shuffle, or one favorite
• Tap a widget to jump straight to its event, or just open your list

ON APPLE WATCH
• Turn the Digital Crown and each event glides in on its own aurora
• A large watch-face complication with the countdown, plus circular, corner, and inline styles
• Add an event right from your wrist; it syncs to your iPhone
• Your events and photos sync from iPhone automatically

THOUGHTFUL TOUCHES
• Yearly events like birthdays and anniversaries roll over on their own, even on February 29
• Reminders on the day, the day before, a week before, or a month before, at the time you choose
• Filter by category, and keep past events to look back on
• One-tap starting ideas: vacation, birthday, Christmas, New Year's Eve, Halloween, anniversary, concert, wedding, and "days since"

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No ads. No tracking. No analytics. Your events stay on your iPhone and your own Apple Watch, and nothing is ever sent to us.
