CountDaysNow: Event Counter
Countdown Plan: Work Backwards
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New Countdown Plan: give each event the steps to finish before it. Every step is due a set number of days before the date and moves when the date moves.
Plan backwards from the dates that matter. Countdown Plan gives any event its own preparation steps, such as renew the passport 30 days before a trip or order the cake 7 days before a birthday, and shows what is late, due today, due in the next 7 days and done across all your events.
Each step is due a set number of days before its event. Change the event date and every step moves with it; a repeating event starts each new cycle with a fresh plan. Countdown Plan is free, works on-device and needs no account.
Daily Focus saves one private Since / Today / Ahead choice each day and preserves that dated trail as milestones change.
No ads, no subscription, no account. One purchase unlocks everything for good.
• Ahead · Today · Since
CountDaysNow keeps future, current and past events in three clear views, with precise day counts and a date calculator for adding, subtracting or comparing dates.
• Events, categories and archive
Create and edit events, organize them into categories, search quickly and archive milestones without losing their history.
• Recurrence, reminders and Calendar
Set repeating events, including an optional end date, schedule reminders and import only the Calendar events you choose.
• Widgets, Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
Put any event on Home Screen widgets in every size, including iPad Extra Large, keep a live countdown running in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, and let the Next 3 widget show your three closest dates at once. Apple Watch stays useful offline.
• Milestone alerts and 15 calendars
A gentle nudge arrives 7, 3 and 1 day before, on the day itself, at day 100 and on every anniversary. Any event can show a second calendar beside the Gregorian date: Chinese lunar, Japanese, Hebrew, Persian, Indian, Islamic, Buddhist and more.
• 100 skins and share cards
Browse all 100 countdown styles before unlocking them, each with its own palette and layout, then export a share card as a square, portrait or story image.
• iCloud, shared countdowns and safe updates
Events stay in step across your iPhone and iPad through your private iCloud, a single countdown can be shared with other CountDaysNow users and updated together, and a local snapshot is written before every update so nothing goes missing.
Free
The free edition supports up to 3 active events, 3 categories and 1 reminder for each event, plus one selected event widget. Archived events remain available.
One-time Lifetime Pro
A single Lifetime Pro purchase—never a subscription—unlocks unlimited events and categories; the complete gallery of 100 exclusive skins; advanced recurrence, reminders and calendars; every widget and the full Apple Watch experience; Badge, photo backgrounds, Face ID, iCloud and JSON backup, and high-resolution sharing.
How do iCloud sync and shared countdowns work?
With Lifetime Pro, optional iCloud sync keeps events and categories up to date across your devices through your private Apple CloudKit database. Share Countdown sends only the selected event’s title, note, target date, calendar system, time zone, all-day setting, recurrence, symbol and color to the CountDaysNow users you invite; reminders, categories, the Calendar source identifier, favorite and archive status, photo backgrounds and every other event remain private. Sync also carries the technical event identifier, created and updated timestamps, and conflict-resolution metadata; invitees can view and edit only the user-visible fields, not this technical metadata. The owner can stop sharing or delete the shared countdown, and participants can leave it.
CountDaysNow uses no accounts, advertising, third-party analytics or tracking tools, and sends no data to developer servers.
Optimized for iPhone Duo, with a two-column layout on the inner display in landscape.

Refined the Apple Watch layout: the day count is now centered and your event list is no longer cut off.
