In short: Kounts lets you share a countdown with up to five people via a simple link in Messages or Mail. Everyone you invite follows the same live count to the day, and you all add photos to one shared album. It's free, with no ads.
One countdown, the whole group
Invite up to five people
Bring your partner, your family or a few friends into a single countdown. Up to five people can join the same event and watch it together.
Everyone sees the same count
No two phones drifting out of step. Everyone who joins follows the very same live days-until count, so you're all on exactly the same page.
One shared photo album
A shared event has a single album that everyone adds to. Drop in snaps as the day approaches and watch the memories build up together.
Share with a tap
Tap share and send a link through Messages, Mail or any app on your iPhone. The people you invite open it in Kounts and they're straight in.
Made for couples and groups
Perfect for couples counting to an anniversary, families waiting on a holiday, mates planning a trip, or any group event you're all looking forward to.
On everyone's widgets
Each person can add the shared countdown to their own Home and Lock Screen widgets, so it greets you all every day.
The shared full-screen card, your events list, and the countdown on everyone's widgets.
