One countdown for public and personal events
Outside is not limited to a fixed holiday list. You can use it for a bank-holiday break, a football match, a theatre booking or a date that only matters to your family.
Because you choose the date, the same app works for annual celebrations and one-off plans without forcing the event into a generic calendar.
