Description

Up Ahead is a playful, beautiful way to keep track of everything you’re looking forward to. Create events in seconds, and build yourself an eclectic timeline full of birthdays, weddings, holidays, vacations, game releases, sporting events, or anything coming up that brings you joy. As your timeline grows, you’ll unlock themed patterns that can be used to give your events personality. Keep your countdowns top of mind with customizable widgets for your Home Screen or Lock Screen. --- CREATE EVENTS Up Ahead events are quick and simple to create — just give your event a name, a date (with optional time), a category icon, and a color. EVENT TIMELINE View your events in a unique timeline format that gives you visual information about how much time is passing between events, and allows you to easily look back on your entire event history. PATTERNS As you create events, you’ll start to unlock decorative patterns that can be applied to any of your events and appear in both your in-app timeline and your widgets. Some pattern unlocks are achievement-based — e.g. “Create 3 events” — and others are unlocked based on the content of your events. How many can you find? REMINDERS Schedule flexible reminders to get notified about the events you don't want to miss. ATTACHMENTS Keep all your event information in one place by attaching short notes or links to your events. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS * "Countdown" widgets are simple widgets for counting down to a specific event. * "Coming up" widgets come in multiple sizes and will dynamically count down to whatever event is coming up next. They can be customized with filters and display names, allowing you to create widgets such as “Next Raptors game” or “Upcoming game releases”. * "Timeline grid" widgets give you a colorful high-level overview of all your upcoming events. LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Simplified versions of “Countdown” and “Coming up” widgets are available to place right on your Lock Screen. SIRI SHORTCUTS Automate event creation or ask Siri about your events with Siri Shortcuts. TIMELINE FILTERING Quickly filter your events temporarily so that you can get a clean look at just the film releases you’re looking forward to, or the birthdays you want to remember. RECURRING EVENTS Mark an event as recurring — weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or yearly — to have it automatically replace itself in your timeline when an instance of the event has passed. MULTI-DAY EVENTS Give an event an optional end date to countdown to both an event’s beginning and its end. ICLOUD BACKUPS Automatically back up your events and pattern unlocks to iCloud Drive to ensure you never lose access to your data. EVENT SHARING Lightweight event sharing allows you to export and share colorful images of any event. SOUND AND HAPTICS Delightful sound effects and haptics bring the app to life. ...and lots more fun stuff to discover. --- The free version of Up Ahead is free forever, and contains no ads.

  • Great app and almost a calendar replacement!

    5
    By Collin Bentley
    Use this exclusively for my calendar needs, and it makes me much happier than consulting a full calendar for life events. Only missing feature for me is the ability to set an “end date” when configuring a repeating event. Without this feature, I need to delete the event once it’s no longer relevant. This works but, I’d like to still have the past events stored in my history. A cleaner solution would be allowing me to set the end date. Other nice to haves would be allowing .ics imports (for bulk importing things like US holidays) and ability to set default selection of color to a random color.

    The app is pretty basic and does its job well. Can paid users expect any more updates or new features coming up? It’s been 9 months after all.
  • This is app is amazing

    I am in love with this app. It's as colorful and simple as a countdown app. I can't wait to keep using this in my personal life and my college life. Also, the app's creator, keep up the job; you are doing an excellent job. P.S I never wrote a review of an app before, so this is my first review of any app. I can't see the future of this app.
  • Terrific design and feel, missing two things I want

    I love using this app, but I am using it wrong: I want to keep track of dates in the past, not upcoming ones. Happily, the app does a good job of showing those too… but I’d like to be reminded periodically of anniversaries of those dates, and maybe have a widget that shows me some nearby milestone for today (“six months ago: thing” or “on this day in 2021: other thing”). Currently, it doesn’t do either of those things (which is reasonable! it’s not Up Behind), but everything else about it is fantastic—with those additions it would be perfect for me.
  • A novel take on the calendar

    This app is such a simple but clever idea! This is such a better way to plan events that I don’t even use a calendar any more. The app is well built, polished and fun to use. It motivates you to try new things with its hidden, unlockable patterns.
  • Fantastic App!

    I love how easy and fast it is to use this app! Definitely recommend for anyone who needs to remember events or birthdays. The widget is also great! It shows upcoming event on the surface. Great job on the app!
  • Beautiful Design

    Great execution of a “simple” countdown timer! Tons of fun, quirky styles to customize with and a gamification system that gives you motivation to add dates that rewards more customizations. Core functionality is rock solid and everything you could hope for in a countdown timer. A joy to have and use!
  • Best count down app

    By RB24app
    This is probably the best count down app on the App Store. There hasn’t been an update in some time. I hope the developer continues to develop and support the app.
  • Awesome, beautiful, simple

    I’ve seen a few variations on this sort of app. This one wins by a mile.
