In short: set the show date in Kounts and watch the days, hours, minutes and seconds tick down on a full-screen card. Pin the venue on a map, keep your ticket and setlist links on the event, and share the countdown with the friends coming with you. On show day a self-ticking Live Activity counts down the final hours in your Dynamic Island. It's free, with no ads.
Built for the wait until the show
A countdown to the gig
Add the show date and Kounts counts down the days, hours, minutes and seconds on a full-screen card you can dress in artist artwork or a tour photo. Stack a whole run of dates and the next one is always front of mind.
A live countdown on show day
On the day of the concert a self-ticking Live Activity and Dynamic Island countdown count down the final hours until doors — right there on your Lock Screen as you head to the venue, no app to open.
The venue, pinned on a map
Attach the venue with Apple Maps and the event shows a map preview, so when the night arrives you tap straight through to directions and know exactly where you're heading.
Tickets & setlist to hand
Paste your ticket, setlist or running-order links and Kounts pulls in each one's title and picture as a tappable card — so everything you need for the night sits on the countdown, not buried in your inbox.
Widgets on every screen
Add a Home or Lock Screen widget to keep "days until the show" in view all day, and the Apple Watch app keeps it on your wrist. Pin the gig or let the widget roll on to whatever's next.
Share it with your crew
Send the countdown to the friends going with you — up to five people follow the same live count — and you all add photos to one shared album, from the build-up to the encore.
A full-screen countdown, the Dynamic Island countdown on show day, and Home Screen widgets.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a good concert and tour countdown app for iPhone?
Yes. Kounts is a free event countdown app for iPhone and Apple Watch that's ideal for concerts, gigs and full tours. Add the show date and it counts down the days, hours, minutes and seconds on a full-screen card, a Home or Lock Screen widget, and a Live Activity on the day itself. You can attach the venue, your ticket links and a shared photo album for the friends going with you.
Does a live countdown show on the day of the concert?
Yes. On show day Kounts starts a self-ticking Live Activity and Dynamic Island countdown that counts down the final hours and minutes until doors open — no need to open the app. You'll see it on your Lock Screen and around the Dynamic Island as you make your way to the venue.
Can I save the venue and my ticket link on the countdown?
Yes. Each Kounts event holds an Apple Maps location with a map preview, plus notes and links. Pin the venue so you can tap straight through to directions, and paste your ticket, setlist or running-order links — Kounts pulls in each link's title and picture as a tappable card kept right on the countdown.
Can I share the concert countdown with the friends I'm going with?
Yes. Share a Kounts countdown with up to five people, so everyone going to the gig follows the same live count. You all add photos to one shared album too, so the night out is collected in a single place — from the build-up to the encore.
Is the concert countdown app free?
Yes. Kounts is free to download with no ads, and the countdown, venue, links, sharing, widgets and Apple Watch app are all part of the free experience. An optional Kounts Premium unlocks extra card styles and customization, as a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.
