How do I add a countdown to my home screen?

Add a countdown by turning on the Countdown toggle on any Key Date, then use the Countdown widget to display it on your phone's home screen.

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 the menu icon (☰). Depending on your app version, it will appear either in the top-left corner of the Home screen or in the bottom-right corner of the tab bar (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.
