Seven looks
Every countdown gets the look it deserves.
Pick a look and Nearly builds the whole page around it, down to the font of the numbers.
Departure board
Split flaps, departure time, on time. For the trip you’ve been planning for months.
Plus twelve color worlds, a color of your own, your photos as backgrounds and fonts for every number.
The details
Everything that comes with waiting.
Reminders
A nudge a week before, a day before, on the day.
Checklist
Everything to do before the day, ticked off on the way.
Count up
Days since you started, with milestones along the way.
Apple Watch
On your wrist, as an app and a complication.
Widgets
On the Home Screen and the Lock Screen, in the look you chose.
Repeats
Birthdays roll over to next year by themselves. Or bring them in from your calendar.
Private by design
Your countdowns stay on your iPhone.
No sign-up, no tracking, no ads. Nearly has no servers that know what you’re looking forward to. A backup is a file you keep yourself.
A departure board that searches for your data and finds none: no accounts, no trackers, no ads, no servers.

Questions
Good to know.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the app and start counting. There is nothing to sign up for.
Where is my data stored?
On your iPhone or iPad, and on your Apple Watch if you use it. Nearly has no servers and no iCloud sync, so iPhone and iPad each keep their own. If you want a copy, save a backup file from Settings and keep it where you like.
What do I need?
An iPhone with iOS 26 or later, or an iPad with iPadOS 26 or later. Apple Watch is optional and pairs with your iPhone.
Which languages does Nearly speak?
32, from English and German to Japanese, Korean and Hindi. It follows the language of your device.
