Home Screen & Lock Screen

Small widgets.
Big feelings.

Small, medium and large on the Home Screen. Circular, rectangular and inline on the Lock Screen. Pick which event each widget shows and it does the rest.

  • Right at midnight. Every day is pre-computed, so the number turns over at 00:00 local time even if you never open the app.
  • Fourteen styles. Classic and Minimal are free. Pro adds Ring, Photo, Up next, Stack, Bold, Calendar, Progress, Aurora, Boarding Pass, Bloom, Blueprint and Vinyl.
  • Made for the Lock Screen. Monochrome vibrant widgets with a progress ring and a one-line inline countdown above the clock.

THE COLOR OF ANTICIPATION

Dawn

Included for free

Pick a color. Picture your big day.

The little details

Thoughtfully small.
Surprisingly capable.

Milestone reminders

A nudge at 30, 7 and 1 day out, and on the day itself. Scheduled on your phone, never from a server.

iCloud sync

Your events follow you to a new iPhone through your own iCloud account. Nothing passes through us.

Share cards

Export a square or Story-sized card of any countdown, in its theme, straight to Messages or Instagram.

Days since

When the day passes, the card flips to counting up. Anniversaries, sobriety, the day you moved in.

Light and dark

Warm off-white by day, near-black by night. The themes stay exactly as you set them.

Private by design

No account, no analytics, no servers of ours. Everything lives on your iPhone and in your iCloud.

In the app

A place for all your
can’t-wait moments.

FAQ

A few things
you might wonder.

How do I add a Bigday widget?
Touch and hold an empty area of your Home Screen, tap the plus button, search for Bigday, and choose a size. Then touch and hold the widget, tap Edit Widget, and pick the event and style. For the Lock Screen, touch and hold the Lock Screen, tap Customize, and tap the widget area.
Does the widget really update without opening the app?
Yes. Bigday hands iOS a timeline of pre-computed entries, one per day, so the number changes at midnight local time on its own. If you travel across time zones the count follows your current local date.
How is a "day" counted?
By calendar days, not hours. An event tomorrow shows "tomorrow", today shows "today", and a past event counts days since. The numbers you see in the app and in every widget always agree.
Is Pro a subscription?
Pro is a one-time $2.99 purchase that you keep forever, and it works with Family Sharing. If you prefer, there is also a $1.99 per year option with a 3-day free trial. Either one unlocks everything.
Which iPhones does it work on?
Any iPhone running iOS 17 or later. Bigday is designed for iPhone only.
What data do you collect?
None on our side. There is no account and no analytics. Your events stay on your device and, if you have iCloud enabled, in your private iCloud database. There are no ads and no tracking, in the free version or in Pro. See the Privacy Policy.
