Thirty seconds with Kounts
Card styles, widgets, the Timeline and more — the whole app in one quick look.
Everything an event countdown should be
Rebuilt from the ground up for iOS 26 with a Liquid Glass design, Kounts 2.0 turns every date into something worth looking at.
Countdowns for anything
Birthdays, trips, deadlines, concerts. Add a date, time and notes, attach a place with Apple Maps suggestions and a map preview, then watch the days tick away on a full-screen live countdown.
Milestones that count up
Some dates aren't over. Mark a past date as a Milestone and Kounts counts up from it: days smoke-free, years together, time since a big move, with a streak card and a gold ring filling toward your next anniversary.
Birthday countdowns
Add someone's date of birth and Kounts counts down to their next birthday every year, shows the age they're turning, and keeps a photo timeline back to the year they were born.
Photo memories
Give every event its own photo gallery. Birthdays and recurring events group their photos by year, so each celebration keeps its own memories and builds a history over time.
Shared events & albums
Share a countdown with up to 5 people. Everyone follows the same live countdown and adds their own photos to one shared album. Just send a link through Messages or Mail.
Siri & Apple Intelligence
Ask Siri how long until your next event, find countdowns in Spotlight, or describe an event in plain language and let Create with AI fill in the details for you.
Widgets & Live Activities
Six Home Screen widget styles, from a cinematic Poster to a photo Grid to a stripped-back Minimal, plus Lock Screen widgets. Pin a specific event or auto-follow whatever is next up. On event day, a self-ticking final countdown lives on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island until the moment arrives.
Apple Watch app
A dedicated watch app with an Up Next list, live countdown rings, and four complication styles, synced to your iPhone in real time.
Recurring countdowns & reminders
Daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly events roll forward automatically, even repeating time-of-day countdowns like “bedtime at 11”, live to the minute on widgets and the Dynamic Island. Smart reminders nudge you 5 minutes to a full day before, and Important events ring a full-screen alarm even on silent.
Calendar, Timeline & Year Ring
See your countdowns on a month-grid Calendar with a colored dot on every busy day, or on a timeline where nearby events cluster and distant ones drift apart, with a circular Year Ring for the long game. Pull events in from Apple Calendar, or mirror your countdowns back into it.
Share beautiful cards
Export any countdown as a high-resolution image or an animated video, styled exactly like your card, sized for stories, square posts and group chats.
Private by design
Your events live on your device. No accounts, no tracking across apps, and permissions are only requested when you actually use a feature.
Make every countdown yours
Ten card styles, ten hand-tuned gradient artworks with a subtle film-grain finish, your own photos, and five app accent colors.
Ten gradient artworks, tuned by hand
Categories that fit your life

Accent colors & appearance
Tint the whole app in Violet, Blue, Green, Red, or Dark Grey. Choose Light, Dark, System, or Dynamic, which follows the daylight.
