In Nearly, open Settings › Save a backup and keep the file in Files, iCloud Drive or send it to yourself with AirDrop. On the new device, choose Settings › Restore a backup. Restoring adds what is missing and never replaces anything. The same file also brings your countdowns from your iPhone to your iPad. If you move to a new device with Apple’s own transfer or an iCloud Backup, Nearly comes along with all its data anyway.

Sign in with the same Apple Account, open Settings in Nearly and tap Restore purchases. Pro is tied to your Apple Account, not to the device.

Apple manages subscriptions. In Nearly, go to Settings and tap Manage, or open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name and then Subscriptions. Cancel at least a day before it renews. Pro stays until the end of the year you paid for, and countdowns you styled with Pro keep their look afterwards.

Apple handles every payment, so refunds go through Apple as well, at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Touch and hold an empty spot on the Home Screen, tap Edit and then Add Widget, and search for Nearly. For the Lock Screen, touch and hold it, tap Customize and choose the Lock Screen. In Nearly, Settings › Add widgets shows the way step by step.

The Live Activity is part of Pro and shows the last eight hours of a countdown that has a time of day. It starts when you open Nearly. If it still does not appear, check that Live Activities are turned on for Nearly in the Settings app.

Check that notifications are allowed for Nearly in the Settings app, and that no Focus is holding them back. Countdowns without a time of day remind you at the time set in Nearly under Settings › Time for all-day countdowns.

No. Nearly keeps everything on the iPhone or iPad you use it on and, if you have one, on your Apple Watch. iPhone and iPad do not share countdowns by themselves. To move them or keep a copy, there is the backup file. More about that in the privacy policy.
