Countdown
Countdown is a countdown and day-counting app for Mac that helps you track upcoming events, anniversaries, deadlines, and past milestones.
What is Countdown?
Countdown is a Mac countdown app for tracking important dates and seeing how much time remains until an event or how much time has passed since one. It is published by Simonemontalto and is designed for people who want a simple way to follow birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, graduations, personal goals, and work deadlines from one place. Users can create multiple countdowns with custom names, dates, icons, and visual styles to keep events easy to recognize at a glance. The app also supports widgets, making it convenient to keep selected countdowns visible on the desktop or other Apple device surfaces without opening the full app. For everyday planning, it works well as a lightweight reminder and milestone tracker rather than a full calendar replacement. Countdown is available across Apple platforms, including Mac, and fits best for users who want a focused date-tracking tool with quick visual access to their most important events.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Countdown is a standard date-tracking app for Apple devices. Its normal use centers on information you enter, such as event names and dates, and the App Store listing states that the developer does not collect data. If you use widgets or reminders, expect the app to store your countdown details locally and keep them available for those features. As with any personal planner, avoid putting sensitive private information into event titles if you share your screen or use visible widgets.
Recommendation: Keep Countdown if you actively use it to follow important dates or like having countdown widgets on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing the app should mainly affect your saved countdowns, widgets, and any related settings tied to the app.
