WidgetCraftGet the appCountdown widgets for Android
A countdown widget counts the days left until a date you choose. 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.
What you need
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.
Typical size: 4 × 2 cells.
Common mistakes
- 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.
