Lets Countdown

Lets Countdown is the simplest way to count down to the moments that matter — birthdays, holidays, trips, deadlines, and everything in between.

Add your events, choose a colour or photo background, and place a widget on your Home Screen. Lets Countdown keeps your most important dates front and centre, always up to date.

COUNTDOWN YOUR WAY
• Days, weeks, months, or years — choose how your countdown is displayed
• "Days Since" mode to count up from a past date
• Annual repeat: automatically rolls over each year for birthdays and anniversaries

BEAUTIFUL, PERSONAL WIDGETS
• Small, medium, and large Home Screen widgets
• Lock Screen widgets for a quick glance
• Navigate between all your countdowns directly from the widget
• Photo or solid colour backgrounds with full customisation

CUSTOMISE EVERYTHING
• 6 font styles: Rounded, System, Serif, Mono, Avenir, Georgia
• Auto-contrast text, or choose your own colour
• Photo darkness slider for perfect readability
• Alternate app icons: Default, Dark, Light, Mono

STAY ORGANISED
• Import events directly from Apple Calendar
• Get notified on the day, or 1, 3, 7, or 30 days before
• Search, reorder, and sort your countdowns
• Add notes to any countdown

IPAD READY
• Full split-view layout — browse your list and view details side by side
• Optimised for landscape: sidebar + detail panel makes the most of the screen

SHARE THE COUNTDOWN
• Share a countdown link — anyone with Lets Countdown can add it in one tap
• Share as an image: widget style or landscape card

PRIVACY FIRST
• Your data stays on your device and your own iCloud — no third-party servers, no tracking
• iCloud sync is optional and end-to-end encrypted
• No ads, no locked features

Lets Countdown is free with an optional tip jar if you'd like to support development.
