NEW: Editing a synced trip’s name, dates or selected flights now updates Holiday Extras, while Sync Trips brings changes back into Countdown. You can also remove accounts from the sync list and unlock unlimited countdowns with your email. Switch between grid and a new photo-rich list layout for your upcoming countdowns. Shared countdowns now take friends straight to the app.

Meet the all-new Countdown app — rebuilt from the ground up to make looking forward to something feel almost as good as being there.

• A completely redesigned native iPhone experience with beautiful full-screen countdowns, Liquid Glass controls and automatic light and dark appearances.
• Piñata Magic, powered by Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones. Describe a countdown in your own words and get an editable event, trip, flight and reminder plan created on-device.
• Start with a screenshot. Add a booking image and Piñata Magic will pull out the useful details, then show you a clean summary instead of a wall of extracted text.
• Smarter holiday setup with guided dates, airport search, live flight lookup and simple outbound and return selection. Predicted, potential-match and confirmed flights are always clearly labelled.
• Beautiful Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with the full countdown, your chosen photo and the Piñata mark.
• Flexible private reminders, including milestone, weekly, daily and custom schedules — plus intelligent schedule suggestions.
• Social sharing made for Instagram, Facebook and Messages, with polished story, portrait and square layouts featuring your full countdown.
• Better photo controls. Drag, zoom and position an image once, then perfect separate crops for the countdown and widget.
• A brand-new birthday celebration: tap or shake the full-screen Piñata until it bursts into confetti and falling sweets.
• Add a holiday to Holiday Extras and carry your dates and flight details with you, ready to add parking, airport hotels, lounges and more.
• Your previous countdowns come with you, including past countdowns, so the moments you’ve already saved aren’t left behind.

This is our biggest update ever. We can’t wait to see what you’re counting down to.
