What a sakura 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 sakura style shapes it

Sakura widgets borrow the colors of cherry blossom season: pale petal pink on a soft white ground, a dark bark brown for text and a deeper blossom accent, with drifting petals.
