A countdown that works beyond the holiday calendar
Fixed holiday apps cover public dates, but most anticipation is personal. Outside lets you count down to a flight, a college move-in, a playoff game or a reunion using the same simple format.
The date stays at the center while photos, reminders and sharing make the countdown useful for planning as well as anticipation.
