Yonks - A Well Designed Day Counter
Yonks is a well-designed iOS app
that works quite well as a standalone app on Apple Silicon Macs. It's a
day counter that determines how many days since and event or how many
days until an even with lots of extra special touches. For a one time
purchase of $1.99 in
the App Store vs. subscription apps at 4X that price just for a year
of use, it's almost unbeatable.
Ever wanted to know how many minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years have passed since you were born or since you got married? What about counting down to your next vacation or the end of an important project? Maybe you want to count the days since you started a diet, quit smoking or drinking or started a new fitness routine. Do you want a way to count down the time until a new movie or video game is released. Yonks (British slang for "a long time") can do it for you.
Features
- Choose between counting minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years and select a custom emoji and color for every counter.
- Order your counters manually, alphabetically, increasing or decreasing by date or by color.
- See when a notable milestone occurs (e.g. "When is your 1000 day anniversary?") and add it to your calendar.
- Need to remember more than just a date? No problem, just add a custom note to your counter.
- Yonks has a growing list of popular counters from a variety of categories (holidays, sports, movies, games, …) for you to add with one tap.
- Change the date, time and number formats according to your local or personal preferences.
Yonks does not have iCloud syncing but I had no trouble creating my setup on my phone and exporting a json file via the settings that I easily imported on my MacBook via the same mechanism.
According to the developer, Stefan
Grund, a new update is scheduled to drop on 2024-10-14 and version 2
of the app is in the works.
