Trial Day Counter Widget for iPhone
Forgetting When Free Trials End
You sign up for a 7‑day free trial of a design app, streaming service, or productivity tool. You plan to cancel before the trial ends—but life gets busy. Three weeks later, you notice a $12.99 charge on your card for a service you forgot to cancel.
It happens all the time. Free trials are designed to convert into paid subscriptions, and companies count on you forgetting the end date. What if your iPhone home screen could show "3 days left" every time you unlocked your phone?
A Trial Day Counter Keeps You in Control
A trial day counter widget displays days remaining until your free trial expires. You set the end date once when you start the trial, and the widget counts down automatically. When you see "1 day left," you make an informed choice: keep it and pay, or cancel before the charge hits.
Be My Widget lets you track multiple trials at once—Netflix, Notion, Adobe, fitness apps—with custom labels and color‑coded themes. Each widget updates daily, so you never forget a cancellation deadline again.
Track multiple trial subscriptions with labeled widgets.
How to Add a Trial Day Counter Widget
- Install Be My Widget (free on the App Store).
- Open the app and tap the Trial Day Counter widget.
- Set the trial end date (the last day before auto‑charge).
- Add a custom label like "Notion Trial" or "Netflix Free Month."
- Long‑press your home screen, tap the + icon, and add the widget.
- Press and hold the widget to choose a theme that stands out against your wallpaper.
That's it. Your trial counter now shows days remaining, updating automatically at midnight.
When a Trial Day Counter Saves You Money
Set reminders for trials that matter most.
- Streaming services: Track Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV+, or Disney+ free trials.
- Productivity apps: Monitor Notion, Evernote, or Todoist premium trials.
- Design and creative tools: Keep tabs on Adobe, Canva Pro, or Figma trials.
- Fitness and health apps: Track Peloton, Calm, or Headspace free periods.
- Software development: Monitor cloud service trials like AWS, Azure, or GitHub Copilot.
Pro Tip: Stack multiple trial counters in a Smart Stack so you can swipe through all active trials. Color‑code urgent trials (< 3 days left) with red or amber themes for instant visibility.
