Countdown to Anything!
With icons for everything!
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Choose from the built-in countdowns or create your own, to count down to absolutely anything!
You can customise your countdown with hundreds of cute icons, so you can always find a perfect match for your countdown. Countdown to Anything has icons for birthdays, holidays, weddings, baby due dates, parties, movies, games, books, appointments and lots more!
FEATURES
• Create countdowns to any future date and time, or even countups from a past event
• Customise your countdowns with hundreds of icons, for every occasion
• Create repeating countdowns, such as yearly countdowns for a birthday, or even a weekly countdown for the start of the weekend!
• Got lots of countdowns? Add custom tags to them so you can see similar countdowns at once. Try creating a "Birthdays" tag!
• Get a notification when your countdown ends
• Share your countdowns with your friends, even if they don't have the app
• Add notes to your countdowns for safe-keeping, like birthday present ideas, or travel details
• No ads! I really don't like ads in apps, so there are no ads and no analytics tracking at all in Countdown to Anything
• Upgrade to Premium to get home screen widgets, over 220 exclusive icons, unlimited colour options, and more! Premium purchases help me to keep making the app, and to keep it ad-free!
BUILT-IN COUNTDOWNS
• Holidays such as New Year's Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, Easter Sunday, Halloween, St Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day
• Sporting events such as the World Cup and Olympics
• Other events including Eurovision and the US Presidential Election
Thanks for checking out my app :) If you've got an idea for a new icon, or a countdown that should be built in, contact me from the Settings screen in the menu. I'd love to hear from you!
ABOUT PREMIUM
Premium is an optional upgrade, available as an annual subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Annual subscriptions will automatically renew unless auto-renew is tuned off at least 24 hours before the end of the subscription period. You can manage your subscription on the Premium screen in the app, or in your iPhone's Settings app.
more I downloaded this app a few years back, and it is perfect whenever I am excited for an upcoming event and want to know exactly how far away it is. I also love the fact that you can change your time setting to show your countdown differently; for example, there is a setting where you can just see how many days until the event, but another setting where you can see right down to the very second. Not to mention every icon in the app is adorable!! There is a premium version that you can purchase, but I find that it is not necessary since they give you so much of the app for free (thank you, creators😉). I hope that this review helped someone out. Thanks!

It is so fun cute and really easy to set up an alarm. And it’s makes you so happy when the timer goes off. And it makes you really happy around this time when you set an alarm for your summer break. It is fun to make alarms and to look at all the cute characters you can choose to explain your celebration. It is a great game and you should definitely get it. And the best part is that it is is free to get the app and to get premium it is not a lot of money at all. And I think you should definitely get it just for a better experience in this fun game.

Very easy to use and it is nice that your countdowns will be in order of how soon they are happening. I also like how they already have holidays available so you don't need to make your own countdown for holidays. The only thing is that all of my countdowns randomly disappeared out of nowhere a few weeks ago. I didn't delete the app or do anything that could have made this happen. I waited a few days to see if they would reappear, but they didn't. I have spent the last week and a half re-adding my countdowns, but am still nowhere near finished. I am a little disappointed that I need to add all of my important events again when I thought they would be there.

3.3.0 4d ago
The 2026 Spring Update is here! This update is all about improvements from your feedback.
Countdowns no longer automatically become countups when they finish, keeping your countups section for events you specifically want to count up from.
- You can still turn any finished countdown into a countup with one tap if you want!
- This also fixes a long-standing issue where countups from right now didn't work correctly.
- Countdowns which previously became countups before this update will remain as countups
The Countdowns and Countups screens have a new header which takes up less space, especially when using tags.
- A countdown's tags are now shown whenever you tap on it, which can be tapped on to see all countdowns with that tag
The date and time pickers have been updated to be easier to use, and to fix a few issues.
- Fixes an issue where countdowns to midnight were always assumed to be full-day countdowns, which was always a little confusing.
- Fixes the date picker being cut off if the phone is using a large Display Zoom setting
Yearly countdowns have a new option to show how many times it has repeated.
- This is perfect for birthdays - set the target date as someone's date of birth, and this will show what age they will be at their next birthday!
This update also brings a bunch more fixes, performance improvements and some new icons!

SPECIFIC COUNTDOWN WIDGET:
As before, you can still choose a specific countdown to always show in a widget, but I've made improvements to it so it makes much better use of the available space.

This big update adds new languages! For the first time, Countdown to Anything is now available in Spanish and German. I'd love to hear your feedback!

- Faster launch times and improved app performance for people with lots of countdowns
On a personal note, these new languages are the result of over three months of work. It wouldn't have been possible without your Premium purchases, which meant I could take time off from my day job to focus on my apps. Thank you all so much for your support, I really appreciate it so much! - Gary
