Widgets
The multi-event widget. Free.
Several events in a single widget on your Home Screen, with coloured chips. Most apps lock this behind Pro. Here it is simply part of the free version.
✓ Included in the free appTwo modes
Count down and count up.
Count down to a date ahead, or count up from the day something started. In count-up mode the day itself takes centre stage: Day 1 on the start date, Day 135 four and a half months in. One glance tells you how far you have come.
- Count down to any date
- Count up from a start date
- Keeps counting as “Day 135”, on your widget too
- Its own tab, so the two lists never mix

- Days or sleeps
- Weekends or working days
- Working days minus public holidays (Pro)
- Or ask Siri: how many days until…

Frequently asked questions

- Yes. The app is free and complete: countdowns, count-up, the multi-event widget, Live Activities and sharing are all included. Pro is a one-time purchase: launch price €6.99, normally €9.99. Not a subscription.
- What can NanoCount do that other countdown apps can't?
- The multi-event widget is free in the app (others charge for it), you get countdown and count-up in one app with days-or-sleeps counting, and you can share any countdown as a live link that keeps ticking in the browser.
- Does it work in the Dynamic Island?
- Yes. In the final day your countdown appears live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, down to the second.
- Does my data stay on my device?
- Yes. Your countdowns stay local on your iPhone and work offline. There is no account and no tracking.
- Can I share a countdown?
- Yes, as an image or as a live link (nanocount.app/c) that shows the countdown ticking in the browser, without the recipient needing the app.
- What does counting in sleeps mean?
- Alongside days you can count in "sleeps", the way children do. The evening before it is 1 sleep to go; the day itself is "today".
- Which devices does it work on?
- NanoCount is one app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch (iOS/iPadOS 17 or later, watchOS 10 or later, Mac via Catalyst). The Apple Watch app shows your soonest countdowns on your wrist. With Pro you can also sync your countdowns across your devices through your own private iCloud (off by default).
