Overview

Days 2

Countdown to all-day events from Google Calendar — see how many days until your next birthday, holiday, deadline, or milestone.

Features

  • Countdown to all-day events — displays how many days remain until each upcoming all-day event from your Google Calendar
  • Multiple display modes — toggle between Days, Weeks + Days, and Months + Days with a single keypress (Enter). Smart toggle automatically skips irrelevant modes (e.g. no "weeks" for events less than 7 days away)
  • Hero event — the nearest upcoming event is highlighted at the top with a bold countdown
  • Past event tracking — search to find past events and see how many days ago they occurred (e.g. "3 days ago")
  • Calendar filtering — filter the list by calendar using a dropdown, or use the Manage Calendars command to select which calendars to display
  • Event details — view event descriptions, open events directly in Google Calendar
  • Background refresh — automatically updates a subtitle in Raycast root search showing the nearest event (e.g. "Birthday – 12 days"), refreshes every hour
  • Dark mode support — includes both light and dark mode icons
