Appearance

How Days Until looks on this device.

Colour mode

Works with light and dark. Automatic follows the calendar: Halloween, Christmas, New Year and Valentine’s around those days, otherwise the season where you live.

Make your own theme

Pick a colour: Days Until makes a light and a dark theme from it and keeps every text colour readable.

Presets and profiles

Change many settings at once. Presets are ready-made; profiles are your own saved sets, like “Work laptop” or “Kitchen tablet”.

Presets

A preset changes how things look and move. Your countdowns, reminders, country and language stay as they are. Undo puts it back.

Your profiles

    Colour and photos

    A highlight colour, the tone of the page, and how photos look.

    Highlight colour

    For focus outlines, link lines and selected text. Only colours that stand out on both the light and the dark page are used.

    True black changes only the dark theme; it saves battery on many phone screens.
