Soon — beautiful countdowns with home screen widgets

Soon counts down to the moments you are waiting for — a trip, a birthday, a release, a deadline — and puts them on your home screen as widgets. The wait becomes visible without opening anything.

Frequently asked questions

What does Soon do?

You add a date that matters, and Soon keeps a live countdown to it — in the app and on your home screen as a widget.

How do I add a widget to my home screen?

On Android, long-press an empty spot on the home screen, open the widgets menu and pick Soon. Choose which countdown it shows and you are done.

What do people count down to?

Trips, weddings, birthdays, concerts, exam results, game and album releases, moving day, retirement — anything with a date and a feeling attached.

Why put a countdown on the home screen?

Because anticipation is half the joy of an event. A number you glance at every day turns a distant date into something you can feel approaching.

Can I have more than one countdown?

Yes — keep a whole list of upcoming moments and give the important ones their own widgets.

Does a countdown help with deadlines too?

Very much. A visible day-count makes a far-off deadline concrete, which is exactly the nudge that beats last-minute panic.

Do I need an account?

No account is needed to count down to things.

Is it free to get?

You can download Soon free on Google Play.

Does it work on iPhone?

Soon is currently an Android app, available on Google Play.

What makes Soon different from a calendar entry?

A calendar tells you when something is; a countdown tells you how close it is. The second one is the number your heart actually asks for.
