DAYS: Private Countdown

DAYS counts the days to the moments that matter, and keeps counting after they've passed.

EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE
There is no account to create. No server to talk to. No sync. No analytics. No tracking. Nothing you type and no photo you add ever leaves your iPhone. DAYS has one network request in the entire app — it quietly checks whether a newer version is out, and sends nothing with that question. Not your name, not your device, not anything. The answer is four words. That is the full extent of DAYS touching the internet.

FREE, AND OUT OF YOUR WAY
No ads. No subscription. No AI anywhere near your days. You pay nothing and nothing is shown to you. DAYS does not have a premium tier waiting behind a paywall, a weekly digest email, a usage limit, or a rate my app popup. It opens, shows your days, and gets out of the way.

WHAT IT DOES
• Count down to birthdays, anniversaries, trips, exams, weddings, due dates — anything with a date
• Count up from dates that have already passed — how long you have been together, how long you have been sober, how long since you lost someone
• Repeat events weekly, monthly or yearly, with leap years handled correctly
• Set a reminder for the morning of the day, or up to a week before — your choice per event
• A hand-drawn calendar that shows every event at a glance across the whole month
• Insights that count only your own events and show only real numbers — nothing is made up or prefilled
• Lock the app behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode so your countdowns stay private
• Full Dynamic Type support — the whole app scales with your text size setting
• Full VoiceOver support

DRAWN, NOT STYLED
Every icon, border, button, dialog and illustration in DAYS is drawn as pen strokes in code. Not one element comes from a stock icon set or a design system. The app uses two colours — ink and paper — and a single handwritten typeface throughout. There is no chrome, no gradient, no drop shadow and no animation that exists to impress rather than to inform.

YOUR DATA IS YOURS
DAYS uses SwiftData, Apple's own framework, to store everything on your device in the same encrypted storage that protects your messages and health data. When you delete the app, everything goes with it. There is no account to deactivate, no data to request, no support ticket to file. It is gone because it was always only yours.
