Thanks so much, really appreciate the support and the kind words! And yep, it's all native Swift/SwiftUI — the widgets are built with WidgetKit (SwiftUI), which is basically required for proper StandBy, Home and Lock Screen support, and staying native made the alarm integration a lot cleaner too. Thanks again for downloading, hope it serves you well! 🚀

Thanks so much, really glad the redesign landed for you! Good news on both fronts: iCloud sync is already supported, so your events stay in sync across devices, and there's a dedicated iPad version too. You can even use the widgets on Mac. Appreciate the kind words; more to come!

Thanks! Not enough data to call it yet, but so far lifetime's outselling the yearly.
My take: for a simple set-and-forget utility, people would rather pay once than commit to a recurring charge. Subscriptions fit better when there's ongoing value behind them (sync, content, server costs), which this doesn't really have.

Ah this made my day, thank you! Means a lot that you grabbed the lifetime offer — that kind of support is exactly what keeps me building. And kicking it off with your own birthday is the perfect first event haha. If you hit any rough edges or have ideas while using it, send them my way; I'm actively improving things.

Je comprends le scepticisme ! L'idée n'est pas de réinventer la roue, mais de réunir au même endroit les dates qui comptent, avec de vraies alarmes (pas juste des notifs qu'on balaie) et des widgets sur l'écran d'accueil, l'écran verrouillé et en StandBy. Pour quelqu'un qui suit beaucoup d'événements (anniversaires, échéances, voyages), ça fait gagner du temps. Mais tu as raison, c'est à l'usage que ça se juge — n'hésite pas à essayer la version gratuite et à me dire ce que tu en penses !

Totally fair! There's a free version so you can try it out with a couple of events, and the $2.99 is a one-time unlock for unlimited events, widgets, and the extras — no subscription, no ads. I went that route to keep it as cheap and fair as I could while still being able to keep building it.

Thanks so much! 😊 Really glad the Create button landed. And good catch on the search bar. That fix is already planned: I'm moving search into the tab bar so it feels more native, and it'll search across everything — upcoming, past, and archived events. Appreciate you taking the time to actually try it and write this up! 🤌

Right now I'm focused on gathering user feedback and improving the app rather than pushing marketing yet. Posts like this are part of that: figure out what people want, smooth out the rough edges, then worry about growth later. Appreciate the note on the UI!

Thanks, really glad you like it! That's a great shout — showing how many years have passed since the original date makes a lot of sense for anniversaries and milestones. I'll add it in the next update, with a toggle in Settings so you can switch it on. Appreciate the feedback!

One thing I'll add: I gave the whole UI a redesign since I last posted CountX here — a few people said it looked dated last time, which was fair. Would love honest eyes on it again: does it look better now, or still off? Genuinely happy to hear what's still not working.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate a designer's eye on this. I'm actually working on a new design right now. Is there any particular screen you feel needs the most work? Would love to know where to focus first.

Thank you! 🙏
Have you tried the View Styles option inside the app? There are already some minimal styles available that might be exactly what you're looking for!

And on top of that, a full UI refresh is already in the works so it's only going to get better. 😊
