Your countdowns, right on your wrist
A dedicated watchOS app
Kounts has its own Apple Watch app with an Up Next list — your upcoming events in order, with the days until each one, scrollable straight from your wrist.
Four complication styles
Put a countdown on your watch face with one of four complication styles, so you can pick the shape that fits the face you already wear.
Real-time sync
Events you create on your iPhone appear on the watch, and edits stay in step across both. The watch app keeps pace with the phone in real time.
Glanceable days-until
See how many days are left without reaching for your phone — a quick look at your wrist tells you what's next and how soon it's coming.
Hand-in-hand with iPhone
The watch app works alongside your iPhone widgets and the on-day Live Activity, so the countdown follows you everywhere.
Tap to open the event
Tap a complication and you land on that event inside the watch app — its countdown and details, right there, without picking up your phone.
The Up Next list on Apple Watch, a full-screen countdown, and the iPhone widgets it syncs with.
