About this app
The calm countdown widget for Android. Days until any event, right on your home screen — trips, birthdays, anniversaries, deadlines. No ads. No accounts. No subscription.
Days until anything you're waiting for
Add a countdown for a trip, a wedding, a baby due date, an exam, a deadline, payday, a birthday, an anniversary, a retirement date, a move — Soonish keeps the days remaining at a glance, sorted nearest-first. One-time, yearly, weekly, or monthly recurrence.
Where you are in time
Four progress bars for the day, week, month, and year you're in. Calm context, always up to date.
Widgets in four sizes
A single-event hero (1x1), a scrollable list (2x2), a wide hero with progress bar (4x2), and a full dashboard with all four cycles plus the list (4x4). A hero can be pinned to one countdown you pick. Each widget shows every countdown or just the groups you choose. Plus adds widget themes — Plum, Midnight, Monochrome, Honey, and Material You.
Give a countdown a photo
Add a cover photo to any event: it fills the detail screen behind the day count, and the 4x2 widget with Plus. No storage permission, nothing uploaded.
Holiday packs (Plus)
One-tap public holidays for 13 countries: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the US, the UK, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Poland, Canada and Australia. Every holiday rolls forward to its next occurrence automatically.
School-holiday packs (Plus)
School breaks across 10 countries and 100 regions: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Czechia and Slovakia. Every region carries all of its breaks, not just summer — winter, Easter, Pentecost, summer, autumn and Christmas.
Bring in dates you already have
Import events from your device calendar — read-only, nothing leaves your phone; recurring events arrive as recurring countdowns.
Share a countdown with anyone
Send a countdown as a link. It opens as a live countdown in any browser — the date rides in the link itself, so no server ever holds your dates. Anyone with Soonish gets it straight in the app.
A proper ending
When a countdown passes, keep counting: one tap turns "3 days until the trip" into "3 months since the trip".
No nags, ever
Reminders are optional and off by default — the only alerts are ones you set yourself. Plus adds an optional pinned notification for your soonest countdown: silent, no vibration, off unless you switch it on. No streaks, no engagement loops.
Privacy by default
Your dates stay on your phone. No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics SDKs, no trackers, no advertising ID. The widget works fully offline.
Free and Plus — pay once, no subscription
Free is fully usable: the four cycles, the home-screen widget, story-card sharing, and up to 10 countdowns. Plus is one unlock (CHF 4.90 / €4.99 / $4.99, never a subscription) that lifts the cap and adds groups, widget themes, holiday and school-break packs, photo widgets, milestone moments, and wordmark-free story cards.

What’s new
The emoji picker is new, and ours. Every emoji by category, skin tones on a long press, and a row of the ones you picked last — with category names in your language instead of always English.
The watch list tile showed a single row when you had pinned one countdown to the watch. It now shows that countdown's whole group — or all your countdowns, if it isn't in a group.
The arc tile is unchanged: still just the one you picked.
