Await | Menu Bar Countdown
A native macOS countdown for the dates you care about - in the menu bar, on the desktop, and full-screen when the moment hits.
Await is a native macOS countdown app that pins your next event to the menu bar and to a desktop widget, counts down in the event's own time zone, and celebrates full-screen on every display when it arrives.
The big day, at a glance.
Await is a countdown for the dates and events you actually care about - a flight home, a release date, a kid's birthday. Add them yourself or let it read your calendar; the next one stays pinned to the menu bar and sits on your desktop as a widget, while the rest wait their turn in the popover.

How it works
- Add an event by hand, or let Await read your calendar - read-only, so meetings and birthdays show up without being typed in twice.
- Give any countdown a note and a link. For a meeting Await finds the link in the invite itself, so joining is one click from the row - or from the notification when it arrives.
- Pin the one you want up front; Await counts it down in the menu bar and on the desktop widget, and recurring events roll forward on their own.
- When it arrives, each countdown does what you asked - a calm full-screen celebration on every display, a notification, or nothing at all.
Buying and licensing
Yes. Download the app and it runs in full for 30 days - no key, no card, no email. Nothing is held back during the trial.
No. You pay once and the license is yours for good, on up to 3 Macs. There is no renewal and no in-app purchase. The studio also sells an optional subscription that includes this app, if you would rather have every app instead.
Buy from the store and the key arrives by email right after checkout. Paste it into the app once and it stays activated.
The app locks until you enter a key. Nothing is deleted - your data stays on your Mac and comes straight back the moment you activate.
Yes, and thank you. Every app page has a Buy me a coffee button - one-off, any amount. It is not a purchase: no license is issued and nothing is unlocked, so every app works exactly the same whether you tip or not.
