FEATURES

Built for the days that matter.

Everything you need, nothing you don't. Lumen counts the days down with calm — and gets out of the way.

Live Home Screen widgets

Four sizes, four styles. Pin the day that matters most, glance at it from anywhere, and watch it tick down on your Lock Screen.

Cinematic photo covers

Search Unsplash from inside the app, or bring your own. A subtle film grain, a warm gradient — every event feels like a film still.

Calendar sync, two ways

Import birthdays and trips from your iOS calendar with a tap. Or push Lumen events back out so they live next to everything else.

Quiet notifications

A gentle nudge at one week, one day, the morning of. No badges, no noise — just a tap to remember why you're excited.

Share a beautiful card

Tap to export a portrait card of any countdown — perfect for Instagram, group chats, or the fridge. Always with your photo and your date.

Past Days, kept

When the day comes and goes, Lumen quietly archives it. Look back and count the days since — the trips you took, the people you saw.

WIDGETS

One tap. Always there.

Four treatments to match your Home Screen. Pick the one that suits the day — or use a different one for every event.

WHY LUMEN

The ones you're excited for. The ones you'll never forget.

Most countdown apps feel like spreadsheets. Lumen treats the days you're waiting for like the small films they are — with typography that breathes, photos that stop you, and a number that glows.

  • Designed for the wait. Editorial typography, warm cinematic palettes, and a number that grows as the day approaches.
  • No ads, no tracking, no clutter. Lumen is a one-time purchase. Nothing follows you home.
  • Made for iOS, beautifully. Native widgets, Live Activities, and Lock Screen support — all the small details that feel like home.
