The Cosy People

Name the day.
We'll find the photo.

Every other countdown app hands you an empty box and a colour picker. Type Kyoto trip into Days Ahead and three photographs of Kyoto are already waiting. Pick one and it's your countdown — on your Home Screen, on your Lock Screen, and in your pocket until the day arrives.

What it does

The photograph, suggested

Start typing and the right images appear. No hunting through a stock library, no settling for a coloured square. Or bring your own photo, or an emoji on a gradient — whichever says it fastest.

On the Home Screen, free

The widget isn't the paid tier. A countdown you have to open an app to see is a countdown you forget about.

Counting up, too

Days since works the same way as days until. Sober since, together since, moved here since — the anniversaries that don't fit a calendar.

Yours, and only yours

No account, ever. Countdowns sync through your own iCloud and never touch a server of ours. There's no analytics SDK in the app and nothing to opt out of.

Share the day, not a screenshot

Send a countdown as a link and it stays live for whoever opens it. If they've got the app, it's theirs in one tap.
