Up Ahead is a playful, beautiful way to keep track of everything you’re looking forward to. Create events in seconds, and build yourself an eclectic timeline full of birthdays, holidays, vacations, game releases, or anything coming up that brings you joy.
I absolutely love Up Ahead! I love how playful and fun it is, while also just being incredibly useful and thoughtfully designed. I have all my upcoming events in here, no going back.
Hey folks 👋
I like keeping track of the things I'm looking forward to. Last summer, I decided it was time to move on from my messy Notes file full of random dates, and download a proper countdown app. There are about a billion of these things on the App Store, but I couldn't find a good one. So I made Up Ahead, and now there are a billion and one of them.
(This one's good though.)
I'm a part-time independent app developer, and Up Ahead has been a real passion project for a little over a year now. I realize a countdown app is not exactly a novel idea, but I've put a tremendous amount of effort and care into *every single detail*, and I think it amounts to an app that is genuinely fun and enjoyable to use, rather than just a get-in-and-get-out, pop-a-widget-with-a-photo-and-a-number-onto-your-homescreen kind of thing that so many of these apps do.
Up Ahead's timeline view gives you a fun look at how all your events fit together, past and present. It encourages you to build a calendar of good things to peruse, rather than just setting up one-off countdowns. I've also built in a bunch of unlockables in the form of "patterns", where as you add events over time, you'll unlock more and more themed patterns in lots of interesting ways that you can use to decorate your events.
It's all a bit goofy, and it's good fun.
Happy to answer any questions here. Appreciate you checking out Up Ahead!
Great looking app! I have a countdown app that I already use but this looks really nice. Would you consider adding the option for Push Notifications for events that have a specific time? It'd be awesome to get notified when an event starts.
What. An. App. I've been using the early-access version via TestFlight for a while now, and it's just so polished and lovely to use. Really happy that the rest of the world can enjoy it now, too. Congrats on the launch!
