A mix between a calendar and a clock that makes you wait faster.
About this app
Welcome to Ease The Waiting. This app is designed to ease the waiting for scheduled events in the future, such as special holidays, your birthday, or anything else. 🎉🎂🌴 It displays the number of days until the event and (optionally) a personal background image for each event.
How it works:
* Just tap the big red button ("Add Event") to add your first event. * In the next screen: * Enter title and date * Optionally, choose a custom background image for this event by tapping the preview field beneath title and date. 📝🗓️🖼️ * Save event by tapping the big red button that says "Save". * You will now be back on the main screen and see your event * To add more events, either tap the "+" sign in the bottom left, or scroll to the bottom of the event list and tap the "Add New Event" button. * For a visually appealing experience like in the screenshots, use attractive images!
Features:
* 🔤 2 visual presets - Switch between big and small text modes by tapping the A, resp. B button next to the "+" button in the bottom line. * ✏️ Edit existing events - Tap on an event to modify its details. * 🔴 Live preview - See how your event will look as you add or edit it. * 🚀 Simple introduction - The app provides clear instructions if no events are added.

How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be v4lpt.vpt.f036.esw is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 1.1.0 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Valentin's PowerTools #036 - Ease The Waiting first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Valentin's PowerTools #036 - Ease The Waiting, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
