Days left. And whether that's enough.

Most countdowns only tick down. This one does the arithmetic nobody does for themselves — at the rate you're actually going, do you finish before the date?

The sentence you came for
At this pace you finish 12 days late.

Or twelve days early. Either way you find out now, while there's still time to do something about it — not in the last week.

The Finish By app: 120 days left, with the line 'At this pace you finish 26 Dec, 5 days early', a streak and total, today's entry, and a 35-day bar chart of daily progress. The Finish By in its light theme, showing the same countdown, pace line and daily history.

One goal, one date, one number that tells the truth

See the days

The number gets the whole screen. Press W and everything else falls away — it becomes a live wallpaper you can leave open on a second monitor.

Mark the day

One tap and today is done. Pick your rest days and they never break a streak, because a planned day off isn't a failure.

Hear the truth

Set a total and it projects the date you'll actually finish from your real pace — and won't guess until it has enough days to be honest about it.

Put it on your home screen

It installs like an app on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac — its own icon, no browser bar, and it opens instantly.

  • Works with no internet at all, once installed
  • Nothing to sign up for, nothing to verify
  • Your data stays in your browser — it never reaches a server

Straight answers

What does it cost?
Nothing. There's no paid tier yet, and no card to enter.
Where does my data live?
In your browser on that device. There's no account and no server, so nobody — me included — can see what you're tracking.
Does it sync between devices?
Not yet. There's a Backup button that copies your data out as text, and pastes it back in on another device.
Can I track more than one goal?
Yes, as many as you like, switched from the menu at the top.
What if I just want to count days?
Then do only that. The daily target is optional — set a goal and a date and ignore the rest.
Who made this?
One person, because I wanted it for my own deadline. If something's broken or missing, tell me.
