Every deadline, birthday and exam, counted down in days.

Countdown reads the calendars you already use and lays what’s coming on a timeline you can take in at a glance.

Countdown timeline on iPhone 18 Pro, held in a hand

Pick a point to see its countdown.

The final hours, on your Lock Screen.

On the day, Countdown starts a Live Activity for you — eight hours out, never before 7:00 — so the timer waits on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

You can also pin any deadline yourself.

Lock Screen with Live Activity

Starts with the calendar you already have.

Anything in Apple Calendar — including Google and Exchange accounts added in Settings — plus Reminders with a due date and birthdays. There’s nothing to sign in to.

On your wrist, too.

The Apple Watch app shows what’s next and how many days are left, and complications keep the next date on your watch face.

  • Mark things done or add a countdown from your wrist.
  • Start a Live Activity on your iPhone with one tap.
  • Complications for the corner, circular, inline and rectangular slots.

Or just ask.

Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight know your deadlines, and you can add one without opening the app.

  1. You: How many days until my next deadline in Countdown?
  2. Siri: 12 days until Tax return.
  3. You: What’s coming up this week in Countdown?
  4. Siri: Client pitch and Rent due.

Try it for a week. Keep it for life.
