What it does
A live countdown to your next thing, right on your Lock Screen. From 5 apps for people who are always running late.
Due 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. From 5 apps for when you can't feel time passing.
The developer describes it as: “If you have ADHD, you know the feeling: you glance at the clock, it says 2:15.”
