This update is mostly about widgets. Countdown has always been a simple way to keep track of dates that matter, but with 1.2 I wanted those dates to feel much better on the Home Screen.
Not every countdown has the same job. Some are things you’re looking forward to, some are things you need to remember, and some are just dates you want kept in view.
Today I’m excited to share something I’ve been using for a while and finally decided to release: Countdown is now available on the App Store.
Why I Built Countdown
I often found myself trying to keep track of important dates such as birthdays, trips, deadlines, appointments—but most apps I tried felt overly complex or cluttered.
Enjoy GiftList on a bigger screen with layouts that make it easier to browse people, lists, and gifts at a glance. This is the foundation for richer iPad features coming in future updates.
Spanish and Norwegian
GiftList is now available in Spanish and Norwegian.
We’re excited to announce that both GiftList and RewardMe are part of the Indie App Sales event! For a limited time, you can get both apps at 50% off — but hurry, this offer is only available 15th & 16th of July 2025.
RewardMe is now just $3.99 (regularly $7.99), and GiftList is only $2.99 (regularly $5.99). If you’ve been considering trying out either app, this is the perfect opportunity to get them at a great price.
I’ve released my second app to the App Store. RewardMe helps parents set tasks for their children and recognise progress with points towards rewards.
The idea for the app came about when I was looking for a reward app for my daughter. I tried other apps, but they did not work the way I wanted them to, or they seemed to be abandoned and no longer updated. I didn’t set out to create a finished product; rather, I started tinkering and experimenting with ideas until I had something that was simple and functional. It was only later, when it started to resemble a finished product, that I decided to release it.
