Put the countdown on your Home Screen

A countdown you have to open an app to see is a countdown you forget. With Countdown Widget: Any Event you add the date once and it sits on the Home Screen or Lock Screen as a widget — the four standard widgets are free in every size, events are unlimited, and it can remind you on the day and as far ahead as you like.

1. Install the app and tap Add Event (or + once you already have events). Pick the template or type the name.
2. If you typed the name yourself, set the date to Friday, January 1, 2027. Turn on Repeat yearly if you want it back next year.
3. Long-press the Home Screen → Edit → Add Widget (on iOS 17, tap +) → Countdown. Choose the size you like.
4. For the Lock Screen, touch and hold it → Customize → Add Widgets → Countdown. The full steps are in our guide to Lock Screen countdown widgets.

Countdown ideas

• A countdown to midnight with the party address in the notes on the back of the event.
• A count-up from January 1 for a new habit — the widget shows the streak in days.
• One countdown for the first working day, so the holiday has a shape.

New Year in the next few years

New Year's Day is a week after Christmas, so you can keep both in one list widget: see the Christmas countdown widget for iPhone.
