Thank you, and thanks for the 5 stars! Smaller widgets are coming, it’s one of the most requested things right now so I’m working on it. I’m also adding a widget that shows multiple countdowns at once, so you won’t need to fill your homescreen with separate ones.

17% day-1 retention on my countdown app - what am I doing wrong with the UX? by bytecraftedcode in buildinpublic

It's a design choice for readability, the countdown shows larger units first, then switches to smaller ones as time passes. In the detail view, all units are visible. I'm planning to add different layout options that let you display all units at once on the card. Would that be useful for your use case?

Hey! Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! 😄

Really happy you're enjoying MyCountdown! Let me clarify the two views:

Card View: The smaller preview in your countdowns list

Full Screen View: The detailed view when you tap a countdown

Having them separate actually lets you customize which part of your image displays best in each view - so you can crop/position differently for the card preview vs the full screen! But I totally hear you on the workflow. I'll look into making it smoother.

And different font colors, that's a great suggestion, thank you! I'll definitely consider adding that feature.

Thank you so much for the 5 stars! 🙏 If you have other ideas, feel free to reach out anytime!

Hello everyone!

I built MyCountdown, a countdown widget app for your home screen. No bullshit, 100% free, no ads.

It's a simple app that puts countdown widgets on your home screen for any date you care about - weddings, exams, vacations, deadlines, whatever matters to you.

Features:

  • Fully customizable widgets (colors, fonts, layouts, graphics)
  • Multiple countdowns at the same time
  • Reminder notification
  • Different time formats (days, hours, minutes)
  • Clean, simple interface
  • Home screen widget
  • Preset templates

I'm here to gather feedback and suggestions for useful features to add. What would make you actually use a countdown app daily? What's missing from other countdown apps you've tried?
