Days Anchor - Countdown Events
Zhiqi Pan
Days Anchor is a widget-first countdown app. Four widget styles, two sizes, one idea: put the dates that matter right on your Home Screen. Pick Ring, Dot Grid, Bar, or Text — then watch the days tick by without opening the app. WIDGET-FIRST, ALWAYS • Four widget styles: Ring, Dot Grid, Bar, Text • Small and medium sizes for every style • Sub-styles you can cycle in the editor: circular or square dots, straight or curved bars • The in-app grid renders the same widgets you'd pin to your Home Screen — what you see is what you get COUNT DOWN OR COUNT UP • Days until a trip, a wedding, an exam, a launch • Days since a birthday, an anniversary, a quit date • Every widget flips automatically the moment the date passes RECURRING EVENTS • Weekly, monthly, or yearly repeats • Leap-day anchors (Feb 29) clamp correctly • Widgets always show the next occurrence, never a stale past date • Optional reminders fire on the next occurrence and reschedule themselves LUNAR CALENDAR • Mark any yearly event as 农历 (Chinese lunar) • Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn, lunar birthdays — all recur by lunar month and day, not by Gregorian date • Native lunar date picker in the editor when enabled in Settings TAGS AND NOTES • Attach tags to any event from a shared vocabulary — type a tag once, reuse it forever • Rename a tag in one place; every event updates everywhere • Free-form notes for the context that doesn't fit in the event name ICLOUD SYNC, ZERO SETUP • Events, tags, and notes sync across iPhone and iPad via iCloud • A sync banner tells you when a change is still in flight • Account-swap detection keeps other Apple IDs' data off your devices • Everything works offline; changes reconcile when you're back online DESIGNED FOR iOS • Per-event color picker drawn from a curated palette • App icon adapts to iOS 18 Light, Dark, and Tinted appearances • Native SwiftUI throughout • No ads. No tracking. No account required. Days Anchor is a quietly focused little tool — nothing you don't need, everything you do. Pick a date. Pick a widget. Put it on your Home Screen. Let the countdown do its work.
