Span: Countdown & Time Tracker

Your relationship with time, all in one place.

Count down to birthdays, trips, and deadlines, or see how long it’s been since a milestone. Log recurring events with Trackers and explore history with On This Day.

No accounts. No ads. No tracking.

SPANS

• Live Countdowns — See years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds until or since a date. Date-only spans count calendar days.
• Apple Calendar — Choose events to import, review their details, and keep selected events updated or make one-time copies. Span never adds new Calendar events automatically or writes changes back to Calendar.
• Smart Emoji Suggestions — Get up to three matching emoji as you type, using on-device Apple Intelligence when available.
• Yearly Recurrence — Repeat birthdays and anniversaries, with smart holiday dates that adjust each year.
• Holiday Templates — Start with 22 US holidays and cultural events, including Thanksgiving, Easter, Christmas, Hanukkah, and Chinese New Year.
• Weather — Add a US ZIP code for historical weather or a forecast within the next 16 days.
• Tags — Give spans and trackers custom tags with optional colors. Read tag names on cards and filter by one or several tags.
• Organize — Filter by upcoming, elapsed, or archived; sort by date, name, or custom order. Choose Reorganize to drag rows into place.
• Share — Send a styled countdown image or a link that opens in Span.
