Wedding and work anniversaries, name days and memorials, each marked with its own symbol.

Reminded on time
A daily reminder at the time you choose, only on days when something is coming up. Plus an optional badge on the app icon.
Widgets in your colors New
Small, medium and large on your Home Screen and Mac desktop. Give each widget its own color scheme, from presets or your own colors.
Lock Screen widgets Free
Put the next birthday right next to your clock: as a countdown ring, as one line above the time, or with name, countdown and age. Included like everything else, with no Pro version and no subscription.
Apple Watch
Upcoming dates on your wrist, and complications that put the next birthday on your watch face.
Everywhere
One app for all your Apple devices
