One countdown, forever useful
Most countdown pages stop mattering the moment the date passes. Rouse countdowns don't: every holiday template recurs yearly and auto-advances the instant the date passes, so "Days until Christmas" becomes next year's countdown automatically. Movable holidays — Easter, Eid al-Fitr, Hanukkah, Lunar New Year, Thanksgiving — are computed from their actual calendar rules, not hardcoded dates.
Beyond holidays, Rouse counts down to (or up from) any date: birthdays, weddings, due dates, retirements, exams, vacations, sobriety milestones. Count-ups support streak tracking with best-streak history. Each countdown carries up to 5 alerts, and your most important date lives on the Lock Screen widget — see the full countdown & day counter app page. It's all part of the same app whose alarms fire through Silent Mode.
Common questions
How do holiday countdowns work in Rouse?
Rouse for iOS ships 31 one-tap holiday countdown templates across 7 categories (Major, United States, Christian, Jewish, Islamic, East Asian, Seasonal). Each template is dated correctly — including movable holidays like Easter, Eid, Hanukkah, and Lunar New Year — recurs yearly, and auto-advances to the next occurrence the moment it passes.
Can I get an alert before a holiday?
Yes. Each Rouse countdown supports up to 5 alerts at offsets you choose — at the moment itself, 1 day before, 1 week before, or any custom offset. On recurring countdowns, alerts re-aim automatically at each new occurrence, so '1 day before Christmas' fires every December 24.
Is the countdown feature free?
The free tier includes 2 countdowns with all templates, recurrence, streak tracking, and display-format cycling. Premium unlocks unlimited countdowns.
