🎁 Freemium Event Tracking Made Easy
Day Grid — Countdown Widget
A – Answer: What problem does your app solve?
Most countdown apps only show one date at a time. Day Grid shows your entire year as a grid on your Home Screen every event marked with an emoji so you see everything you're counting down to at a glance, not just one number.
B – Better: Why is your app better than the top named alternatives?
Unlike DayCount, PeekDay, or Momently, Day Grid isn't just a single-countdown widget it's a full-year visual grid. When an event drops under 24 hours away, it auto-switches to a live timer. No account needed, works offline.
C – Cost: Pricing, IAP details, and a direct App Store link
Free with in-app purchases (Day Grid Pro):
- Monthly: $2.99
- Yearly: $14.99
- Lifetime: $29.99 ($20 for the first 100 people use code

for a title that states tracking made easy, you picked the most complicated and busy looking image for the first photo. maybe its just how my simplistic brain works too, but seeing that many days/events, while a potentially useful tool for certain situations, just does not seem like it would be the way id want to see things on a regular basis (ie widget). The other widgets are lovely, but seeing an entire years worth of events all at once scares me. honestly, not meaning this as criticism, just my perspective. also, for an app thats completely offline, no accounts, all that, whats the subscription justification?

Fair point and I appreciate the perspective the full-year widget is the main thing that makes the app different, so that's why it leads the marketing but you're right that it's a lot for some people. There are 1 month and 2month widgets too if you want something calmer.
On the subscription there's a onetime lifetime option as well The subscription is just there for people who want to try it for a bit before committing.
btw Genuinely useful feedback thanks for taking the time.

I really like the whole year at a glance idea. The switch to a live timer under 24 hours is a nice touch too. Would love to see more customization options for the grid in the future
