In short: Kounts is free to download with no ads. Countdowns, Home and Lock Screen widgets, the Apple Watch app, Live Activities, sharing, recurring events and reminders are all part of the free experience. An optional Premium adds customization only — there's nothing you need to count down that's hidden behind a paywall.
Free, and we mean it
No ads, no tracking
Kounts has zero adverts and doesn't track you across other apps. Just your countdowns, with nothing trying to sell to you in between.
Unlimited countdowns, free
Add as many events as you like, each with its own photo or gradient artwork. No cap on how many you can count down to.
All the essentials included
Home and Lock Screen widgets, the Apple Watch app, Live Activities, recurring events and reminders, the Classic card style and two custom categories — all in the free app.
Private, on-device, no account
Your events stay on your device. There's no sign-up and no login — download it and start counting down straight away.
Premium is optional polish
If you want it, Premium adds extra card styles, every accent colour, up to ten custom categories and automatic Apple Calendar sync — sold as a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.
Nothing essential is locked away
Everything you actually need to count down is in the free tier. Premium changes how things look, never whether the countdown works.
Your events, a full-screen countdown, and Home Screen widgets — all free.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kounts really free?
Yes. Kounts is free to download with no ads and no tracking across apps. The core experience is fully functional for free: unlimited countdowns with photos and artworks, Home and Lock Screen widgets, the Apple Watch app, Live Activities, recurring events, calendar import, reminders and sharing. There's nothing you need to count down that's locked away.
Are there any ads in Kounts?
No. Kounts has no ads at all, and it doesn't track you across other apps. Your events stay private and on your device, and there's no account to sign up for. The optional Premium upgrade is the only thing we charge for, and it's purely about extra customization.
What's included for free versus Premium?
Free covers everything you need to count down: unlimited countdowns, Home and Lock Screen widgets, the Apple Watch app, Live Activities, recurring events, calendar import, reminders, sharing, the Classic card style and two custom categories. Optional Premium only adds polish — all five card styles, every accent colour, up to ten custom categories and automatic Apple Calendar sync.
Do I need an account to use Kounts?
No. There's no sign-up and no login. You download Kounts and start adding countdowns straight away. Your events live on your device, which keeps things private and means the app works without an account.
How much is Kounts Premium?
Premium is optional and sold two ways: a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase you pay for once and keep. Prices may vary by region.
