About the startup
The calm countdown widget for Android. Days until any event, right on your home screen — trips, birthdays, anniversaries, deadlines. No ads. No accounts. No subscription. Days until anything you're waiting for Add a countdown for a trip, a wedding, a baby due date, an exam, a deadline, payday, a birthday, an anniversary, a retirement date, a move — Soonish keeps the days remaining at a glance, sorted nearest-first. One-time, yearly, weekly, or monthly recurrence. Where you are in time Four progress bars for the day, week, month, and year you're in. Calm context, always up to date — the kind of thing you don't notice you've been missing until it's right there on your home screen. Widgets in four sizes A single-event hero (1x1), a scrollable event list (2x2), a wide hero with progress bar (4x2), and a full dashboard with all four cycles plus the event list (4x4). Each widget can show every countdown or just the groups you choose. Plus adds four widget themes — Plum, Midnight, Monochrome, Honey. Holiday packs (Plus) One-tap add public holidays from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the US, the UK, or France. Easter math handled — Soonish rolls every holiday forward to its next occurrence automatically. No nags, ever Soonish never nags you. Reminders are optional and off by default — the only alerts you'll ever get are ones you set for your own events. The app and the home-screen countdown widget are where your dates live, and that's the point. Anticipation is a quiet feeling. No streaks, no engagement loops, no shoulder-tapping to get you to open the app. Privacy by default Your dates stay on your phone. No accounts to create, no cloud sync, no analytics SDKs, no third-party trackers. The countdown widget works fully offline because it never needed the network in the first place. Free and Plus — pay once, no subscription Free is fully usable: the four cycles, the home-screen widget, and up to 10 countdowns. Plus is a single one-time unlock (no subscription, ever) that lifts the cap and adds groups, widget themes, holiday packs, multiple themed widgets, and a share-as-story card. Buy it once, keep it. Designed to be glanced at A calm, premium aesthetic — deep plum on cream by default. No neon. No engagement-loop animations. The visual job of every screen is the same: show you the days. Quietly. What you get - Countdown widget for any date — trip, wedding, birthday, anniversary, exam, deadline, due date - Live progress bars for the day, week, month, and year you're in - One-time, yearly, weekly, and monthly recurring countdowns - Home-screen widgets in four sizes (1x1, 2x2, 4x2, 4x4) - Holiday packs for 6 countries (Plus) - Groups + per-widget filtering (Plus) - Four widget themes (Plus) - Share-as-story 9:16 card for Instagram, Telegram, and friends (Plus) - Local-only storage — your data never leaves the device - No nags, no accounts, no ads, no tracking Made in Switzerland One developer.
