Your widgets no longer forget you're Pro. On a cold launch, Dayception was telling its widgets "not Pro" a split second before it had actually asked the App Store - then correcting itself, sometimes too late for the widget to notice. It now keeps quiet until it knows. Pro and Founder: your Live countdown widget stays unlocked, and your Live Activity stops restarting every time you open the app. If a widget is still sulking after updating, open the app once and it'll come round.

Three fixes. No "bug fixes and improvements". We'd never do that to you. Live countdown is now actually live in the app. Pick the Live style and your event card ticks away in proper DD:HH:MM:SS. Previously this only worked on the widget while the app itself carried on saying "14 sleeps to go" and hoped you wouldn't notice. You noticed. The widget's little labels have found their digits. "hrs · min · sec" was standing noticeably off to one side of the numbers it was meant to be labelling, like the one person in a group photo who didn't get the memo. Everyone now lines up. Lock Screen and Dynamic Island countdowns behave themselves. No more numbers squeezed into "31:53:…", and no more mysterious dashes where your seconds should be. Your countdown now reads the way a person would say it — "1 day, 7 hrs" — and keeps itself up to date everywhere. As ever: no ads, no accounts, no nonsense. Just sleeps.

Sleeps dots are here. Every dot is a sleep. They fill in as the day gets closer, which is either soothing or unbearable depending on what you're counting down to. A proper welcome. New to Dayception? We'll walk you through your first countdown, rather than dropping you at an empty screen and wishing you luck. Bring in the dates you already have. Import from Calendar or Reminders in a couple of taps. Nothing leaves your device — your birthdays are nobody else's business. A live countdown, down to the second. (Pro) Days, hours, minutes, seconds, ticking away on your Home Screen. For when "14 sleeps" simply isn't precise enough. We understand. And a lot of work on larger text sizes. It turns out "each dot is a week" is not a useful legend when it renders as "each dot i…".
