Your next big day, as a hand-drawn scene that grows a little every morning. Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy widgets. No account, no ads, no tracking, works offline.
Some days deserve more than a line in your calendar.
Tiny Countdowns turns each one into a small hand-drawn scene that grows a little every day, until the moment it finally arrives. Glance at your Home Screen and you don't just read a number — you watch it get closer.
A COUNTDOWN WORTH LOOKING AT
Every event gets its own illustrated scene, drawn by hand and animated as time passes. Ten scenes to pick from. As the day approaches the scene fills in: more detail, more color, more life. The last week looks nothing like the first. It is the difference between being told there are 12 days left and actually feeling it.
WIDGETS WHEREVER YOU ALREADY LOOK
- Home Screen widgets in small and medium
- Lock Screen widgets, so it's the first thing you see
- StandBy widgets for the nightstand
The widget always shows whatever is coming up next, handing over to the following event by itself at midnight. No opening the app, no tapping through — the scene is just there, a little further along than yesterday.
COUNT DOWN TO ANYTHING
The flight out. A wedding. Graduation. Payday. A due date. The last day of school. Moving day. The concert. Retirement. First day of the new job. The end of the semester. The half marathon. Race day. The visit you have been waiting months for. Anything you keep opening the calendar to check.
BIRTHDAYS THAT NEVER EXPIRE
Mark an event as yearly and it resets itself the moment it passes. Set a birthday or an anniversary once and it is still counting ten years from now, without you touching it again.
A JAR OF DAYS
All your countdowns live together in a jar you can scroll through, so the whole year ahead reads at a glance. When a day finally arrives it doesn't vanish — it moves into Afterglow, where finished days keep their scene and stay worth scrolling back to. The day you spent months waiting for doesn't get deleted the morning after.
DON'T MISS IT
Get one reminder on the morning of the day itself. On the day, and never any other time. No streaks, no nudges, no notifications begging you to come back.
YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS
No account. No sign-up. No email address. No ads, no tracking, no analytics, no third-party SDKs of any kind. The whole app works in airplane mode, on a plane, in a tunnel, abroad with data switched off.
Your countdowns are stored on your iPhone and mirrored through your own private iCloud account, so they follow you to a new phone and survive a reinstall — and nobody else, including me, can reach them. No iCloud, or iCloud turned off? The app keeps everything locally and carries on. You can also export a backup file whenever you like and keep your own copy, so your dates are never trapped in someone else's app.
BUILT FOR IPHONE
Native SwiftUI, written for iOS rather than ported to it. Every scene is drawn with Canvas instead of shipped as images, so it stays sharp at any widget size and takes almost no space on your phone. Dark Mode and Dynamic Type supported throughout. No login screen, no account to set up, nothing to configure — you open it and add a date.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Add a date and give it a name.
2. Pick the scene that suits it.
3. Put it on your Home Screen, Lock Screen or StandBy and let it grow.
Made by one person who kept losing track of how many weeks were left.
