As a Software Engineering student, I naturally wanted to develop an app during my winter break. As there were no good Android countdown clock apps, I decided to make one -- a spiritual successor to an app I designed a few years ago for iOS. With Hourglass, you can make and follow a countdown to your favorite events that you have to look forward to! Features - Notifications - Light / Night Theme - No frills design - Accessibility focused

@richardr0924 I dig the clean design! Any plans for an iOS version? 📲

@amrith Thanks so much!!!! And unfortunately I no longer have a Mac so I can't develop an iOS version at this time.

@v_s_design Thanks, I'll take that into consideration! My winter break is ending so either way it will be quite a while until I have enough time to port it to iOS. Also, what do you mean by `future events don't automatically convert to past events'? In my app, once the countdown reaches 0 it stays at 0 since I thought people don't really care about the time since an event occured

@andre_lima3 Well I guess I stand corrected!

Is there a widget with this? That would make it worth a purchase.

@claude_dech Not yet, but I plan on making a widget for the next update!

@claude_dech I've been using Hurry — a great Android countdown clock app that provides widgets: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.hurry

@claude_dech Just updated Hourglass, it now has a widget and is free!

@richardr0924 Thanks! I tried it out... The app is so beautiful but the widget doesn't seem to use any of that design. If it did, it would be perfect.

@andre_lima3 Thanks for the suggestion, it has a nice widget and I'll use it.
