What a spring 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 spring style shapes it

Spring widgets feel fresh: new-leaf green, blossom pink and pale yellow on a soft white ground, with rounded friendly type.
