NiceDays - Minimal Countdown

A clean, straightforward countdown app. Open it up, and you immediately see how many days are left in big, clear numbers.

No ads, no popups, and no sign-ups or accounts required. Adding a day takes seconds: just type a title and pick a date. Lunar birthdays land on the right day every year, and your countdown widgets sit right on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Apple Watch.

Whether you're waiting on a vacation, counting down to payday, or tracking an anniversary, NiceDays keeps what matters in front of you.

Key Features:

• Gregorian and lunar dates
Count down by the standard calendar or Chinese lunar calendar. Birthdays and traditional festivals land on their exact date every year, leap months included.

• Auto-repeating events
Weekly plans, monthly paydays, and yearly anniversaries roll forward automatically once the date arrives.

• Date ranges with progress bars
Set a start and end date for vacations, exam prep, or fitness goals. Track elapsed days and progress percentage at a glance.

• Full-screen countdown view
Tap any event for a full-screen big number. Scroll down for notes and details, swipe to switch events, or long-press the number to toggle between total days and a years/months/days breakdown.

• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
Check your countdowns without opening the app. Single-event cards, multi-event lists, and progress widgets (bars, rings, and dot grids for the year, month, week, or day).

• Apple Watch and watch face complications
Glance at your wrist. A dedicated Apple Watch app plus rectangular, circular, and inline complications.

• Local reminder notifications
Get notified on the day, or 1, 3, or 7 days ahead, at whatever time you set. All alerts run locally, with no remote push servers.

• Categories and drag-to-reorder
Organize events with simple tags. Sort by date, drag into any custom order, or pin your top event.

• Apple Calendar integration
Import existing events from your calendar in one tap, or export your countdowns back to Apple Calendar.

• Clean share cards
Turn any countdown into a crisp image card. The classic layout is free; NiceDays Pro adds eight styles like polaroids, tickets, and magazine covers.

• Spotlight and Siri shortcuts
Search countdowns from the Home Screen search bar. Ask Siri how many days are left, or calculate days between two dates.

• Date calculator
Calculate the days between two dates, or find the exact date a set number of days from today.

• Backgrounds and grayscale display
New events include a gradient background by default. You can also pick a photo from your library, with an optional grayscale toggle in Settings.

• Colour themes and typefaces
NiceDays Pro unlocks four tailored palettes (Midnight, Sage, Sand, and High Contrast) plus Source Han Serif and LXGW WenKai typefaces.

• Privacy lock
Protect your events with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode, with a customizable grace period.

• Alternate app icons
Choose from four icon styles to match your Home Screen.

• Safe backup files
Export all your events to a single JSON file. Importing skips existing events without overwriting anything.

• Private iCloud sync
Syncs across your devices through your own private iCloud database. No third-party servers, no logins.

No accounts, no ads, no third-party SDKs, zero tracking. NiceDays makes no network requests of its own and works fully offline. Requires iOS 17 or later, and watchOS 10 or later on Apple Watch.

NiceDays is free with up to 5 events. iCloud sync, widgets, Apple Watch, reminders, backup, and calendar import stay free. NiceDays Pro removes the event limit and unlocks 4 colour themes, 2 typefaces, 3 detail layouts, and 8 share card styles, available monthly, yearly (7-day free trial), or as a one-time purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew; cancel anytime in Settings.
