What an autumn countdown widget shows

A countdown widget keeps one date in view: a trip, a birthday, an exam or a launch. The number of days is the hero, the event name gives it meaning and a bar shows how far along you are.

WidgetCraft's countdown layer works from the phone's clock, so it is free, needs no permission and works offline. You pick the target date in the layer's details.

How the autumn style shapes it

Autumn widgets take their colors from falling leaves: rust orange, mustard, deep brown and cream, with soft serif type and a cosy mood.

Numbers: Keep numbers chestnut with a rust label.
Bars and rings: Use rust and mustard bars.

Tips for autumn countdown widgets

Combine rust, mustard and brown on cream.
Use warm photos.
Decide whether today counts; label the number "days left" or "sleeps" so it is not ambiguous.
Short event names fit best. Two or three words is ideal.
After the date passes, change the target or the widget will sit at zero.
Do not use cool blues.
Do not use pure white.
