## What is Candelina?

Candelina remembers the birthdays of everyone you care about, and then helps you actually say something.

Most reminder apps stop at the notification. That is the moment the problem starts: you know whose birthday it is, and you are staring at an empty message box. Candelina carries it through to a message you are happy to send.

REMINDERS YOU CAN VERIFY
Family and close people get a reminder the evening before, one on the morning, and a quiet nudge at six only if you still have not written. Friends get the evening before and the morning; work and acquaintances, the morning. Every scheduled reminder is shown in the app, read back from the system, so you see the proof instead of hoping.

A WISH IN THE RIGHT WORDS
Three drafts in the tone you pick: warm, funny, short, formal, heartfelt, or the way you actually text. Add a detail about the person, by typing or by speaking it, and it lands inside the wish. Then you send it yourself, from your own messenger. Candelina never sends anything for you.

SEVENTEEN LANGUAGES, WRITTEN NOT TRANSLATED
English, Russian, Ukrainian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Turkish, Croatian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Dutch, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian, with the right grammar for who you are writing to: formal or familiar, and the right endings for a man or a woman where the language needs them. Candelina guesses the language from the person's name and you can always change it.

GET THE DATES IN
Contacts and Calendar, or add someone by hand. Share a single contact into Candelina from any app. Or send one link in a chat and your friends add their own dates.

FORGOT SOMEONE? STILL FIXABLE
Candelina keeps the past week in one place, so a missed birthday is still a message away.

AND THE SMALL THINGS
Siri knows your birthdays. The age they turn and the next round birthday. Their zodiac sign. A gift idea kept with each person. Save a birthday back into your Contacts. Export everything as CSV or JSON whenever you like.

PRIVATE BECAUSE OF HOW IT IS BUILT
There is no Candelina account. Your people live on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, and nowhere else. AI drafts are off until you turn them on. Even then a request carries only what is needed to write the wish: a first name, your relation tag, their gender and the age they turn, the tone and language, your one-line note, last year's text and your own first name. Never your contact list, and nothing that ties two requests to the same person.

FREE, AND WHAT UNLIMITED ADDS
Free, with no expiry: as many people as you like, the reminders above, imports from Contacts and Calendar, and three AI-written wishes per year.

Candelina Unlimited adds:
- Knowing two weeks, a week and three days ahead, with your gift idea in the reminder
- An AI wish for everyone, in their language
- The birthday card sent or saved as a picture
- The Home Screen and Lock Screen widget
- Importing from Telegram, a contacts or chat export, a PDF, a calendar file or a screenshot
- Custom reminders for each person
