Pend - Countdown Widgets
Days until birthdays & trips
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Countdowns and count-ups with widgets, Live Activities and iCloud sync, in a design that stays out of the way. Pend Pro is one purchase - not a subscription.
Pend tracks time remaining until future events and time elapsed since past ones - birthdays, trips, deadlines, anniversaries, milestones.
It runs on iPhone and iPad, and puts countdowns on the Home Screen, the Lock Screen, in Live Activities, and in Siri, Spotlight and Control Centre.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Pend now works from Siri, Spotlight, Control Centre and the Home Screen, without opening the app.
• Ask Siri how long until a countdown, and hear the answer
• Create a countdown by voice, or from Shortcuts and automations
• Countdowns appear in Spotlight search, with the number in the result
• Control Centre tiles for the next countdown and for adding one, both mappable to the Action Button
• Long-press the app icon for the three countdowns landing soonest
• A large-type treatment in StandBy, legible from across the room
Fixed: the large widget could fill with count-ups and leave out the countdowns landing soonest.
