For people who still go to work
Most countdowns count every day. This one counts the days you actually work. Set your date below and see the difference, with the same maths the app uses.

workdays left
Themes
Six themes, each with its own face for the number and its own horizon underneath it. Three are dark, including Night Shift for anyone who finishes work when it is dark. Try one here and the whole site puts it on.
What it does
Workdays and rotas
Set a working week, a part-time week or any pattern that repeats: four on four off, three on three off, a nine-day fortnight, a 9/80. The app knows which days are yours and which are not.
Holidays and leave
Choose your country and the public holidays are handled, including the ones that move: Easter, substitute days, observed days in the US. Then add the leave you have booked and watch the number fall.
Milestones and a daily reason to open it
A new line each day, some of them from the world your theme is set in, and a streak for coming back. Every milestone on the way down gets marked, from the first thousand to the last hundred.
Bucket list
The trips, the Tuesday golf, the bread you keep meaning to learn. Write them down in the same place as the number and tick them off as you go.
Share cards
Turn your countdown or today's quote into a card and send it. It is the answer to "how long now?" that people actually want.
Price
Download it, set your date, and the number of days is yours for nothing, for as long as you like. Everything else is free for a week. After that, one payment keeps it all. There is no subscription to forget about and no ads, before or after.
The full app
One payment
Your local price is shown in the app before you buy. Nothing else to pay, ever.
Questions
Set your retirement date and your working week or shift rota. The app takes off weekends or non-rota days, the public holidays for your country in every year up to your date, and the leave you have booked. What is left is the number of days you actually have to go in. Try it on the calculator page without installing anything.
Yes. Choose a repeating pattern from 2 to 28 days, mark the days you work and set the day the cycle starts. Four on four off, three on three off, a nine-day fortnight and a 9/80 schedule all fit, as do ordinary and part-time weeks. There is a page on shift work with the detail.
The day count is free forever. Everything else is free for seven days, then a single one-off payment unlocks it for good. Nothing is charged automatically. The app shows your local price before you buy, and there are no ads.
Both. Download it for iPhone or get it on Google Play. Same trial, same one-off unlock. The home screen widget is Android only at the moment.
No. It counts time, not money. It will not tell you what your pension is worth or whether you can afford to go. It tells you how many days, workdays and hours you have left until the date you have chosen.
No account. Your countdown stays on your phone. Save a backup before you change phones and restore it on the new one. If you have paid, Restore Purchases with the same store account brings the unlock back. There is a support page and a short privacy policy.
