Hi guys, I’m looking for a countdown calendar app that can tell me how many days it is until a certain day in the future. It’d be nice if it could save the date so that I wouldn’t have to continually re-enter it. Is there anything good like that on F-Droid?
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/cyou.sk5s.app.countdate
I download it occasionally for random events. It works as it should. Not sure why it requests network permissions. I deny it any privileges and it works as one thinks it should

Get the IzzyOnDroid repo or use Obtainium. There are tons more opensource apps not on F-Droid but released by the Developers themselves.
Izzyondroid just takes these releases.
ProgressBars (A simple timer / countdown app) https://f-droid.org/packages/org.mattvchandler.progressbars/
I used that one
It’s not FOSS but you can do this in Tasker easily enough.
edit: I wasn’t satisfied with what I said, so here’s another approach using things available on F-Droid.
With Termux, Termux:API, and Termux:boot, you can use
termux-job-schedulerto run a script to calculate your remaining time to a target date-time (use UNIX timestamp for the calculation and strftime to format it) and then usetermux-notificationto publish a notification on your system bar. You’d use termux:boot to make sure the script gets (re-)scheduled after each reboot.Termux is just generally useful for a lot of things. I think its worth the storage to maintain it, and I use it quite a bit myself like I use Linux terminal on the daily.
I also use Tasker quite a bit, and have your specific countdown use case implemented already. It was counting down the number of days remaining to 9am local time of a specific date, and would notify me every morning at 9am. I can share an export if you’d like.
There’s also https://github.com/sk5s/countdateapp of you want to go the purely app-based route
