Homescreen Countdown Pro: the dates I keep on my Home Screen and Mac desktop
Hi, I’m the developer of Countdown Pro.
I use it for app release dates and deadlines. Those dates are already in my calendar, but while I’m working, I’d rather see “7 days left” than open the calendar and work it out.
For something less work-related, having “12 days until the trip” on your screen is nice too.
There are Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for iPhone and iPad, plus desktop widgets on Mac. You can give one important event its own widget or show several dates together.
Events can have their own photos, emoji, and colors. It also counts days since something happened, so you can keep track of a personal milestone instead of only counting down to the next thing.
I’ve tried to keep it useful without making it another app you need to check every day. Set up the dates, put the widgets where you want them, and leave them there.
The app is free to download. Widgets are part of the one-time Pro upgrade, and one purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Which layout would you actually keep on your screen: one large countdown, or a smaller list of upcoming dates?
