July 13th, 2026

πŸ—£οΈ Siri & Shortcuts

Your countdowns now work hands-free. Ask Siri to open a countdown, find events straight from Spotlight search, and build your own automations with the new Shortcuts actions.

πŸ“… Count down in weeks or months (Pro)

Each countdown can now show its time remaining in days, weeks or months β€” or pick Auto and it'll switch to the friendliest unit as the big day gets closer.

πŸ“Š New month progress widget

See how much of the month, quarter or year is left at a glance, with a clean week-by-week progress bar.

🌍 All-day events, fixed across time zones

All-day events now stay locked to the right day wherever you travel β€” no more dates drifting when you cross a time zone.

✨ A fresh coat of paint

We polished the countdown list and gave the welcome screen a brighter, higher-resolution makeover.
