Lock Screen countdown. Dynamic Island glance. Your event is present on your phone without you being in the app. Nothing to tap. Nothing to scroll. The app doing less — deliberately — so you can do the real thing.

The Problem
A decade ago, the average person picked up their phone about 80 times a day. Today, it's over 200. Every app on your Home Screen is competing for those unlocks — and winning. The event that was supposed to pull you into the real world? Buried three feeds deep, remembered fifteen minutes too late. The phone kept you. The night didn't happen.
A single notification right when it's already too late to leave.
The app is the only place the event exists. So the event gets forgotten.
A calendar block doesn't tell you "leave now for the tram."
No "how was it?" prompt. No close-the-loop moment. Just silence.
How it works
No toggle to flip, no permissions maze. Say yes to an event, the Live Activity starts the day of. It goes away automatically after. The app is present at the moments that matter — and silent the rest of the time.
Counting down all day. Switches to "live now" when the event starts. Asks "how was it?" right after. The app is present at exactly three moments — and silent the rest of the time.
On iPhones that have it, the Dynamic Island shows event state without taking over your screen. You see the countdown while you're writing a text. You don't have to open anything.
What you get
Native ActivityKit. Lock Screen + notification. Works on any modern iPhone. No custom push-server gymnastics — this is the operating system the way Apple shipped it.
Expanded and compact states. One-glance status from any app. The feature is more expressive on the hardware that has the Island, but it degrades gracefully on older phones.
If you RSVP'd yes but don't want a widget for this one, one tap turns it off. Your Lock Screen is sacred — we default to presence, but exit fast.
