Hey everyone 👋 I’m Ilias, the creator of Soony! I built Soony because I wanted a simple, aesthetic way to stay excited about what’s coming — whether it’s a trip, a product launch, or a personal goal. I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas for new features! Thanks for checking out Soony 💫

I wish to have such aesthetic countdown timers integrated into Instagram stories. (They still have those unattractive stickers, lol) :D

Ilias

@busmark_w_nika Thanks for the idea :) What do you think about such a export feature for instagram & co?

Nika

@cliffilias Is it possible to export the countdown for IG stories? Making it like a sticker? Because I dunno whether there are any restrictions (e.g. with API)

Ilias

@busmark_w_nika stay tuned to find out ;)

Nika

@cliffilias OMG, that would be pretty cool. Imagine millions of users using your IG sticker.

Beautiful! Congrats on the launch, trying it out now Ilias

@zdo I am looking forward to your critique my friend :)

Ilias

@zdo Thanks Santhosh!

@cliffilias I really liked the idea. It’s great to see all upcoming events in one place with a clear countdown - super helpful.

Just curious: for recurring events like birthdays or anniversaries, does the countdown automatically reset for the next year after the date passes, or do we need to create it again? Also, any plans for cross-platform availability in the future?

Congratulations on shipping this - looks really thoughtfully done. 🎉

Ilias

@rameshchauhanph Thank you so much! 🙏 Really glad you like it.
For recurring events (like birthdays or monthly meet-ups with friends), automatic reset is something we’re already working on — it’ll come in an upcoming update!
And yes, cross-platform (Android + web) is definitely on the roadmap too 👀

Appreciate your support and thoughtful feedback! 🎉

Ilias

@rameshchauhanph Thanks a lot! 🙏 Really appreciate that.
Recurring events like birthdays don’t automatically reset yet — but that’s something I’m already working on. It’s definitely on the roadmap since many people asked for it. 🎂

Cross-platform is planned too (iPad first, then Android) — I want Soony to feel seamless wherever you are.

Thanks again for the kind words and support! 🚀

Cool. But one tricky point is there is not always exciting events in the life but also some things get people nervous. The more important point for me is calm me down before these events haha
Ilias

@jinleelucky You are absolutely right! To exactly know when what happens helps to reduce anxiety. For example for important due dates :)

Ilias

@jinleelucky Haha I totally get that — not every countdown is for something exciting 😅
I actually started using Soony back in uni to keep track of my exam dates, and it helped me feel more in control instead of stressed.

Sometimes seeing the time visually makes it easier to plan ahead — and yeah, to calm down a bit before the big day too. 🧘‍♂️

Nice work @cliffilias! 🎉 Loved discovering Soony—your integration with Calendar Events (import & export) is a real game changer for iOS users who want to seamlessly sync their existing events. The widgets that beautifully display countdowns across your home screen are so thoughtfully designed. How do you see this evolving over the next 6 months? Wishing you great momentum!

Ilias

@kjosephabraham Thanks so much! 🙏 Really appreciate that you noticed those details — Calendar integration and widgets were huge priorities for us.

Over the next 6 months, we’re focusing on making Soony even more connected — think recurring events, cross-platform support, and deeper customization options for widgets.

Excited to keep improving it step by step 🚀

Ilias

@kjosephabraham Thank you so much! 🙏
I really appreciate that. Over the next few months, the plan is to make Soony even more connected and personal — with things like Google Calendar integration, birthday imports, and smarter event insights that help you prepare (not just count down).

The goal is to turn Soony into your daily time companion, not just a countdown app. Exciting stuff ahead! 🚀

Congrats on launching! The design is so clean and minimal — really well done 👏

Ilias

@m91michel Thank you!

@m91michel Thanks Mathias!

Very cool concept! :)

Ilias

@farah25 Thanks Farah!

Interesting. It would be great if the app could connect to Facebook, Google Calendar, and other apps to pull friends’ birthdays.

Ilias

@mykyta_semenov_ That’s a great idea — and it’s actually something I’ve been thinking about!
Right now, Soony focuses on events from your Apple Calendar, but Google Calendar and Facebook birthday integration are definitely on the roadmap.

The goal is to make Soony the easiest way to see what’s coming up — and who’s worth celebrating. 🎉

Sarah

It's a lovely idea, but I have one main question: What's the key feature that makes it different from other calendars? It just seems like it's lacking a strong reason or 'hook' to get me to start putting my schedule in.

Ilias

@sarah_chen0329 Great question — totally fair!
Soony isn’t meant to replace your existing calendar, but to extend it.

It adds beautiful countdowns to specific events from your calendar — right on your home screen and lock screen — so you can see time differently.
Instead of just dates and reminders, you get a visual sense of how close something really is.

That little shift turns deadlines, goals, and moments you care about into daily motivation.
