Count days to or from dates with local home-screen widgets

CountAway keeps important dates simple and visible on your home screen. Create multiple local events and choose whether each one counts down to a future date or counts up from a start date. Pick an event type or custom icon and add compact or resizable widgets. Fixed widgets support both count directions, while Next countdown automatically follows your nearest upcoming count-down event. Add an optional time to an event for live hours, minutes and seconds on Home. A dedicated live-hours widget is designed specifically for timed events, alongside the classic day-count widgets. For distant dates, it can show days and a running clock when space allows. Count-down events can optionally repeat weekly, monthly, or yearly. Monthly dates keep their original day when possible and use the last valid day in shorter months. Optional local reminders can alert you on the event day or 1, 3, or 7 days before. Share an event as a local image card, export or restore your events with a JSON backup, and switch explicitly between English, Español, and Català or follow the system language. Everything stays on your device. No accounts, ads, analytics, cloud synchronization, or Internet permission.

**A fresh start, with a safety net.** Some counters are meant to start again. CountAway now lets you reset an eligible date-only count-up to today from its Home menu, with confirmation and Undo. ## What's new - **Reset to today:** restart a reusable date-only count-up without recreating the event. Timed or recurring events still use the editor. - **Optional automatic backups:** enable verified JSON copies of your events in About. On Android 10+, the default location is Downloads/CountAway; you can choose another folder. Older Android versions require folder selection. - **Keep a recoverable copy:** CountAway manages seven distinct verified snapshots when the provider allows safe cleanup. Existing manual Import restores your events from a saved JSON file. - **Clearer destination status:** see where copies go and whether a backup or folder change needs attention.

Automatic backups are off until you choose to enable them. JSON files contain event details, but not app settings or launcher widget placement. Backups run on Android's best-effort schedule, not at an exact time.

**Time, a little clearer.** Event times now follow your device's 12- or 24-hour clock setting across Home, the editor, widgets, sharing, and notification text. ## What's new - **Clearer recurrence:** the editor follows the next occurrence of repeating events and describes reminders more accurately. - **Easier live-hours widgets:** style names are readable in English, Spanish, and Catalan, and timed events appear in a more useful order. - **Safer setup:** the selected event stays selected when the screen is recreated, and events without a time cannot be saved to a live-hours widget. - **Less space on Home:** the live-hours widget offers a compact 2×1 layout on launchers that support it, while retaining larger resizable layouts.
