Does it sync across my devices?

Yes. iCloud keeps your countdowns current across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch automatically — no account or setup needed.

How does Apple Calendar sync work?

You can import events directly from Apple Calendar, export any countdown to Calendar with one tap, and two-way sync keeps changes matched between them. Calendar sync is a Premium feature.

What widgets are included?

Home Screen widgets in small, medium, and large sizes; Lock Screen widgets for an instant glance; and Apple Watch complications in circular, rectangular, corner, and inline styles.

Will I get reminded before an event?

Yes. Smart reminder chains notify you at one week, three days, and one day out, and you can add any custom reminder date and time you like.

What is Countdown and who is it for?

Countdown counts down to the dates that matter, and counts up from past ones, on cards and widgets. It is for anyone who wants upcoming dates visible at a glance. Add an event and its date, then put the free widget on your Home Screen.
