How it works
From a date in your head to a countdown on both phones.
Add the day
Name it, pick a category and a date. Add a time if the moment has one, and choose days or days, hours and minutes.
Share it, or keep it
Choose Only me to keep it to yourself, or share it with your person. Shared events show up on both phones and either of you can edit them.
Watch it get closer
The list shows how many days are left. On the day it says Today, never a negative number.
You can use it on your own without an account. Signing in with Apple is only needed to pair with someone.
What’s inside
Made for the days you look forward to, and the person you look forward to them with.
Made for the big days
Weddings, vacations, birthdays, dates and special days. Pin the one that matters most to the top of your list.
Birthdays every year
Birthdays and special days can repeat yearly. For February 29, you choose whether other years use February 28 or March 1.
Home Screen widgets
With Premium, put a countdown on your Home Screen in small or medium size, in five looks: Paper, Essential, Soft light, Together and Photo.
Reminders and photo covers
With Premium, get personal reminders 30, 7 and 1 day before, and give each event a cover photo.
Inside the app
Screens from the current App Store listing.
Privacy, in plain words
Events you keep as Only me stay on your iPhone. Events you share are stored in the app’s cloud database so both phones can show them, including the name, date, look and cover photo. You don’t need an account unless you pair with someone.
The App Store privacy label lists the data the app collects, such as your name and user ID for pairing, shared content, purchase history, a device ID and diagnostics. It isn’t used to track you.
What it costs
Counting down and sharing events are free. Premium, a yearly subscription, adds Home Screen widgets, reminders, the Soft light, Together and Photo looks, and cover photos. One subscription also covers the person you’re paired with. Current prices are shown in the App Store for your country.

Questions
How do I share a countdown with my partner?
In Settings, open Partner and tap Invite my person. Your person enters the invite code in their app, and you’re connected. Then choose Shared when you create an event.
Can I share with more than one person?
No. You pair with one person at a time. To pair with someone new, disconnect first.
What happens to shared events if we disconnect?
You each keep a private copy of your shared events. Changes made after that don’t reach the other person.
Do I need an account?
Not to use it on your own. You sign in with Apple only when you want to pair and share events.
Are widgets free?
No. Home Screen widgets are part of Premium, along with reminders, cover photos and three of the looks. Counting down and sharing are free. One subscription also covers your person.
Does it work offline?
Your own events work offline, and shared events stay visible. Creating or editing a shared event needs a connection, and your partner’s changes arrive when you’re back online.
