Awaited
A countdown on your home screen for the things you're waiting for.
Pick an event from your calendar and Awaited counts down to it right on the home screen: days while it's far away, hours and minutes on the day itself, seconds in the last minute, then a notification when it arrives.

What's new
The latest Awaited update, from .
Ten widget shapes
Rounded square, square, squircle, circle, teardrop, leaf, arch, hexagon, octagon and scalloped. The title narrows to fit each one.
Progress where you want it
A bold band above or below, both at once, or up the left side, the right side or both. The title and the unit sit right on it.
Add widgets from inside the app
Add new (1×1) and Add new (2×2) ask your launcher to place the widget, then open setup straight away.
Your own colors
Seven named reds from salmon to burgundy, or mix any color with hue, saturation and brightness sliders. Set defaults for new widgets and remove colors you never use.
Seconds in the final minute
In the last minute the widget counts 50s, 40s, 30s down to Now, whichever countdown format you picked.
Notifications on your schedule
Get the arrival notification on time, 1 to 10 minutes early, or not at all. It's colored to match its widget.
A cleaner calendar list
An event synced through several accounts is listed once, and events load two months at a time as you scroll.
Text that always reads
Titles show as many letters as the shape has room for. Wherever a color would make text hard to read, it turns black or white on its own.
Up and counting in three steps
Add the widget
Tap Add new (1×1) or Add new (2×2) in the app, or long-press your home screen and drag Awaited in from Widgets.
Pick the event
Your calendar opens as a list grouped by month. Tap an event, or create your own with a title, date and time.
Make it yours
Choose a shape, colors, where the progress line runs, how see-through the widget is and how the time left is written.
Make it yours
These are the same choices the app gives you: shape, where the progress shows, colors, transparency and how the time left is written.
In the last minute every format counts the seconds: 50s, 40s, 30s, 20s, 10s, 5s, Now.
Small details, handled
The parts you only notice when another app gets them wrong.
Tap for the details
Tap a widget to open its detail card, drawn in the widget's own colors. Edit the event from there with the pencil.
Gentle on your battery
Events days away refresh twice a day. On the day itself the widget updates every minute.
Done means done
Once the moment passes, the widget settles on a bold checkmark and stops refreshing.
Your language, not just English
31 languages, with plurals that read naturally and layouts that mirror for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu.
A heads-up when it's time
Choose when the arrival notification comes, or switch it off in General settings.
Survives restarts and updates
Reboot your phone or update the app and every widget picks up where it was. Copy logs in Settings makes bug reports easy.
