How to see how many days are left until a deadline every morning

Create a KeyRoutines routine with an At a time trigger in the morning, Time between dates from now to your deadline in days, and Show notification with the whole-number result.

Steps

  1. 1

    Schedule it

    Add At a time at 09:00 on weekdays, with missed runs set to run once.

  2. 2

    Count the days

    Add Time between dates with the earlier date empty for now, the later date set to your deadline such as 2026-12-15, and the unit set to days.

  3. 3

    Show it

    Add Show notification with the whole-number amount and "days until launch".

Tips

  • The amount is negative once the deadline has passed; add an If with Compare values to say "Deadline passed" instead.
  • Use Add to bell instead of Show notification for a silent entry.

Questions

Can it count weeks?
Yes. Set the unit to weeks; months aren't offered because their length varies.
Is it free?
Yes. At a time, Time between dates and Show notification are free.
