What it does
Countdown works at the other end of the scale: days and months until the thing you're waiting for, sitting on the lock screen. From 5 apps for when you can't feel time passing.
The developer describes it as: “Countdown is a free, super easy to use countdown timer and reminder for the important events & dates in your life.”
Alternatives to Countdown
The closest alternatives to Countdown are Structured, Due Pal, MultiTimer and Toggl Track — 4 apps from the list Countdown appears on, “5 apps for when you can't feel time passing”, each answering the same moment a different way.
StructuredStructured draws the day as one vertical timeline, every task a block — so a full afternoon looks full before you promise it away.
Due PalDue Pal takes the day's anchor points and keeps a countdown to the next one on screen: a shape shrinking, rather than a number to interpret.
MultiTimerMultiTimer runs several labelled timers at once, so the laundry, the oven and the ten-minute break stop fighting over one timer.
Toggl TrackToggl Track is one tap to start and one to stop, synced across devices — and at the end of the week you can see where the hours actually went.
