Not in the Connect IQ store yet. Pick your watch, download the file and copy it to the GARMIN/APPS folder on the watch over USB. If you already have it from the Garmin store, uninstall that copy first, and delete an older file of it from GARMIN/APPS before copying a new one: two copies block updates and can use up all free slots on the watch. It works free for 30 days. The complication needs a watch with Connect IQ 4.2 or newer and a watch face with complication slots. Settings in the Garmin Connect phone app are not available for a file installed this way: use the menu on the watch (START). When the app is in the Connect IQ store, install it from there instead, so you get updates.

Day Counter Complication keeps a counter, either the days since a date or the days until one, and publishes the number to Connect IQ. In the settings of a watch face with complication slots you pick "Day Counter" from the same list as steps or battery. This is not a watch face: you keep the one you like.

  • One number complication, "Day Counter", for watch faces that accept Connect IQ complications
  • Refreshes itself after midnight in the background, so you do not have to open the app
  • Count up from a start date, like a streak, or count down to a date you are waiting for
  • Set the date, the mode and the label in Garmin Connect or on the watch
  • Ready labels (alcohol-free, smoke-free, sugar-free, screen-free) or your own text
  • Milestones at 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 30, 60, 90, 100, 150, 180, 270 and 365 days, with a progress bar and one vibration on the day you reach one
  • Restart from today after a confirmation; your best run is kept
  • Never shows a negative number: a start date in the future or a target date that has passed shows 0

Setup: open the app once and set the date, then open your watch face settings and choose "Day Counter" in a complication slot. Whether you can pick it depends on the watch face, so check that the face lists Connect IQ apps in its complication slots. If you only want the counter on its own screen, the Day Counter widget does that.

Works on watches with Connect IQ 4.2 or newer: Fenix 7 and 8, Epix 2, Forerunner 165, 255, 265, 570, 965 and 970, Venu 2, 3 and 4, Vivoactive 5 and 6, Instinct 3, MARQ 2 and others. Older watches have no complications, so the app is not offered for them.

This is a plain counter, not a medical or treatment tool.

How to use it

Open Day Counter Complication from the watch's app menu.

Controls: START (or a tap) opens the menu, BACK leaves.

FAQ

What happens after the 30-day free trial?

The app shows a screen asking for a one-time unlock code from dialforge.dev instead of opening normally. Buy the code once below, no subscription.

Does the app send my data to Dialforge?

No. The app works fully offline, and the unlock code is checked on the watch itself, without contacting any server.

The app does not work as described on my watch. Can I get a refund?

Yes. Write through the feedback form below, or to the e-mail in the footer. If we cannot fix it, we refund you, as described in the terms.

Changing your watch?

Write to me and I will move your code for free.
