In short: Kounts countdowns can repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly — even a repeating time of day — and roll forward to the next occurrence automatically. It's made for anniversaries, birthdays and everyday routines, and it's free with no ads.
Countdowns that come back round
Repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly
Pick how often an event comes around and Kounts handles the rest. A daily habit, a weekly call, a monthly bill or a yearly anniversary — set the rhythm once.
Auto-advances to the next occurrence
The instant one occurrence passes, the countdown jumps to the next date by itself. There's nothing to reset and nothing to re-create — it just keeps going.
Perfect for anniversaries & birthdays
Yearly repeats are made for anniversaries, and birthdays come back on their own every year — the age ticks up automatically alongside a photo timeline.
Repeating time-of-day countdowns
Count down to a recurring moment in the day — like "bedtime at 11" — and watch it tick live to the minute, then reset for tomorrow without a tap.
Widgets roll forward with you
Pin a recurring event to a Home or Lock Screen widget and it rolls forward too — always showing the days until the next occurrence.
A reminder for every occurrence
Add a reminder from five minutes to a day before, and it fires for each occurrence — so a repeating event nudges you every single time it comes around.
Your events list, a full-screen repeating countdown, and widgets that roll forward.

Frequently asked questions
Can a countdown repeat automatically?
Yes. In Kounts you can set a countdown to repeat, and the moment one occurrence passes it rolls forward to the next date on its own. You set it once and it keeps counting down to the next time it comes around — no need to re-create the event each cycle.
What repeat options does Kounts offer?
A Kounts countdown can repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, and you can even repeat a time of day — like bedtime at 11 — so it counts down live to the minute. Whichever you choose, the event advances to its next occurrence automatically once the current one is reached.
Does a recurring countdown work for anniversaries and birthdays?
Yes. Anniversaries fit a yearly repeat perfectly, and birthdays recur on their own every year — the age ticks up automatically and you can build a photo timeline by year. Set the date once and the countdown comes back round each time without any extra work.
Do widgets roll forward with a recurring event?
Yes. A Home Screen or Lock Screen widget pinned to a recurring event rolls forward with it, so once an occurrence passes the widget starts counting down to the next one automatically. You can also add a reminder for each occurrence so you never miss it.
Is the recurring countdown app free?
Yes. Recurring countdowns, widgets and reminders are part of the free Kounts experience, with no ads. An optional Kounts Premium adds extra customization as a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase, but you don't need it to set up repeating events.
