Days Until: Countdown & Widget

MARKAROV.DEV

About this app

Count the days until a birthday or payday and keep the nearest date on your home screen. The countdown widget shows how many days are left and changes the number at midnight.

Type a name, pick the day, and the event joins the list. Dates still ahead come first, with the nearest at the top. The number changes colour when a date is a week away, and again the day before.

• Days until any date, then days since once it has passed
• Yearly and monthly repeats: a birthday or a bill starts counting down again the day after
• Ready occasions: birthday, New Year, anniversary, payday, bills due, holiday trip, exam and wedding. Tap one and only the day is left to pick
• Date calculator: days, weeks, months and working days between two dates
• Type a number of days and the calculator finds the date, for example 90 days from today
• The calculator's end date can be added to the list as a new countdown
• Home screen widget with the nearest date still ahead. It can be resized
• Tap an event to change its name, date or repeat. Press and hold to share it as text
• Export all your dates to a text file via settings
• Light or dark theme, or follow the system
• English, Polish, Russian or German

Good to know

Whole calendar days are counted, not hours. An event today shows ‘today’, and an event tomorrow shows one day. The number changes at midnight in your time zone, not 24 hours after you added the event. It is also recounted when the clock or the time zone changes.

The widget shows the nearest date still ahead, and you cannot choose a different event for it. A monthly event on the 31st falls on the last day of shorter months, and a birthday on 29 February is counted on the 28th in other years.

There are no reminders or notifications. The countdown lives in the list and on the home screen.

Working days are Monday to Friday, counting the first day and not the last. Public holidays are left out, because every country has its own.

Your dates are kept on the phone and the app does not send them anywhere. Android's own backup, if you have it turned on, includes them. No account is needed. The app has no adverts and nothing to buy, so the widget is free too. Anonymous usage statistics can be turned off in settings.

Independent development: one person builds and maintains this app. A letter to [e-mail] is read by that person, not by a support desk.

What’s new

New look: the nearest date is a large card, with a progress bar for events that repeat, and the other dates are rows under it. The counting rule sits right under the nearest date. Picking a date opens a calendar in the app's colours.
Sharing an event adds a link to the app on Google Play as the last line.
