CNDWN is a countdown and countup app for Apple devices.

It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch.

CNDWN works on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch and requires iOS 18.0 or later. Your countdowns sync automatically across all of your Apple devices through your own iCloud account, and Handoff lets you pick up where you left off.
A countdown shows the time remaining until a future date. A countup shows how much time has passed since a date in the past. A progress bar shows how far along you are between a start and an end date — great for projects, semesters or milestones.

Anything with a date attached: birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, exams, graduations, vacations, pregnancies, product launches, concerts, sobriety milestones, moving day or a long-distance relationship reunion. If it has a date, CNDWN can count down — or up — to it.

Yes. Import the date directly from Calendar or Reminders, or add it manually, then use a progress bar to see how much study or work time is left, or a countdown to see exactly how many days, hours and minutes remain.
Yes, CNDWN is privacy-first. Your countdowns are stored on your device and, if you enable sync, in your own private iCloud account. CNDWN has no ads, no third-party trackers, and does not sell your data. The developer has no access to your countdowns. Read the full Privacy Policy.
