Countdowns are a sub-feature within Key Dates. Once you've enabled a countdown on a Key Date, you can display it on your phone's home screen using the Countdown widget.


​

Step 1: Turn on Countdown for a Key Date

You can enable a countdown when you create a Key Date, or by editing an existing one.

  1. Open Cupla.

  2. Tap More (bottom right) and then Key Dates.

  3. Tap an existing Key Date to edit it, or tap + to add a new one.

  4. Toggle Countdown on.

  5. Save your changes.

Step 2: Add the Countdown widget to your phone's home screen

Once a Key Date has a countdown enabled, you can display it on your phone's home screen using the Countdown widget.

See How do I add a Countdown widget? for step-by-step instructions.

Platform note

The Countdown widget is currently iOS only. Other Cupla widgets (Calendar, To-dos, Grocery List) are available on both iOS and Android.
