Description

Up Ahead is a playful, beautiful way to keep track of everything you’re looking forward to. Create events in seconds, and build yourself an eclectic timeline full of birthdays, weddings, holidays, vacations, game releases, sporting events, or anything coming up that brings you joy. As your timeline grows, you’ll unlock themed patterns that can be used to give your events personality. Keep your countdowns top of mind with customizable widgets for your Home Screen or Lock Screen.

CREATE EVENTS
Up Ahead events are quick and simple to create — just give your event a name, a date (with optional time), a category icon, and a color.

EVENT TIMELINE
View your events in a unique timeline format that gives you visual information about how much time is passing between events, and allows you to easily look back on your entire event history.

PATTERNS
As you create events, you’ll start to unlock decorative patterns that can be applied to any of your events and appear in both your in-app timeline and your widgets. Patterns are unlocked based on the content of your events, or as weekly gifts. How many can you find?

REMINDERS
Schedule flexible reminders to get notified about the events you don't want to miss.

ATTACHMENTS
Keep all your event information in one place by attaching short notes or links to your events.

HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
* "Countdown" widgets are simple widgets for counting down to a specific event.
* "Coming up" widgets come in multiple sizes and will dynamically count down to whatever event is coming up next. They can be customized with filters and display names, allowing you to create widgets such as “Next Raptors game” or “Upcoming game releases”.
* "Timeline grid" widgets give you a colorful high-level overview of all your upcoming events.

LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS
Simplified versions of “Countdown” and “Coming up” widgets are available to place right on your Lock Screen.

SIRI SHORTCUTS
Automate event creation or ask Siri about your events with Siri Shortcuts.

TIMELINE FILTERING
Quickly filter your events temporarily so that you can get a clean look at just the film releases you’re looking forward to, or the birthdays you want to remember.

RECURRING EVENTS
Mark an event as recurring — weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or yearly — to have it automatically replace itself in your timeline when an instance of the event has passed.

MULTI-DAY EVENTS
Give an event an optional end date to countdown to both an event’s beginning and its end.

ICLOUD BACKUPS
Automatically back up your events and pattern unlocks to iCloud Drive to ensure you never lose access to your data.

EVENT SHARING
Lightweight event sharing allows you to export and share colorful images of any event.

SOUND AND HAPTICS
Delightful sound effects and haptics bring the app to life.

...and lots more fun stuff to discover.

Best countdown/reminders app on iOS

TLDR: A great countdown that does everything you expect it to but with a great design, thoughtful features and a fun touch to everything. Pros: - Amazing design with pleasant animations - Really cute icons - Widget support with different types (can automatically show next event or you can set it to count down to a specific event in the future) - Adding reminders is really simple and fast - Seeing how long left is easy (with a little timeline) - Fun aspects like unlocking patterns as you add events are a joy - You can add a time and repetitions for each event - Events can last multiple days - Can add attachments to the events Cons (or suggestions): - Can only set one notification reminder for each event - I wish you could add multiple - More attachment types would be nice, currently only URLs and plain text - Maybe possible integration with the native reminders app

Amazing App

I plan most of my life/work around ‘how many days till x needs to be done’ and this is a great little app that has very quickly organised me so that I don’t need to try to remember or look up on an Outlook calendar.

I really like the patterns and countdowns etc. well worth paying full price. My own conundrum has been why can’t I find a Christmas pattern? Seems very elusive when New Years Eve triggers with New Years Day. Also, a 3 week repeat option would be so helpful for me.

Keep up the good work and hope the app keeps getting updates into the future!

Fantastic app for keeping track of important events

I cannot express how much I adore this app. Pretty animations and look, great colour scheme and nice icons. I really like how you gain new backgrounds from adding new events, almost like a treasure hunt to try and find them. This app has meant I have made countless more appointments and meet-ups with friends than I otherwise would have. The developer is great as well, really quick to reply and very helpful.
