Time Together counts up to the second, and Countdown shows the time left to your next month or year anniversary.

Before you pick one
Find out where day 1 starts
On r/LongDistance, one user got 487 days in My Love and 488 in Cozy Couples for the same date. One reply put the gap down to counting: is the first day 0 or 1? Phorb starts at 0, and the love counter on this site lets you switch.
Decide if you both need to see it
One-phone counters mean you each enter the date and pick your own setup. A commenter on r/LongDistance said the same number on both phones feels nicer than two separate setups. Phorb, The Couple and Couple Joy need you both to install.
Check what the widget costs
All six apps are free to download, but the widget is often what you came for. My Love sells its widget as a $0.99 upgrade, and other listings show purchases up to $49.99. Add the widget before you settle in.
Love counter app questions
What is the best love counter app?
For couples, we pick Phorb: you pair once, and the Days Together widget shows the same count on both phones. For one phone, My Love has about 1.07 million US ratings, and Love Counter – Time in Love counts to the second.
Which love counter apps work on both phones?
Of the six here, Phorb, The Couple and Couple Joy connect two phones. The listings for My Love, Love Counter and Been Love Memory don't mention pairing, so each of you would enter the date on your own phone.
Why do two love counter apps show different numbers?
One app may count the day you got together as day 0 and the other as day 1, which puts them one day apart. Phorb's widget shows 0 on that day and 1 the day after. The love counter on this site shows both ways.
Which My Love app is which?
Two App Store apps share the name. My Love - Relationship Counter, by Bjoern Bartels, has about 1.07 million US ratings and a last update in May 2023. My Love: Relationship Counter, by Mst. Jahanara Sultana, has about 10,700 ratings, an update in September 2026, widgets and love quotes.
Is there a free love counter app?
All six are free to download. Phorb's widgets are free, and one Premium covers both partners if you want more. My Love charges $0.99 for its widget, and the others list in-app purchases, apart from Been Love Memory.
