## What is Candles?

Never miss a birthday again. Candles keeps every birthday in one beautiful place — with countdowns, smart reminders, and widgets that show who's next at a glance.

REMINDERS THAT GIVE YOU TIME
Get notified 1 week before, 3 days before, and on the day — enough time to find a gift, send a card, or plan something special. A monthly summary on the 1st shows everyone celebrating that month.

QUICK SETUP
Import birthdays straight from your contacts in seconds, or add anyone manually — friends, family, colleagues, even pets.

ALWAYS AT A GLANCE
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with live countdowns
• Apple Watch app — upcoming birthdays on your wrist
• iCloud sync keeps every device up to date automatically

CELEBRATE IN STYLE
Send beautiful shareable birthday cards, copy ready-made wishes, and enjoy confetti on the big day. Add notes for gift ideas so you're never caught empty-handed.

ONE PURCHASE. YOURS FOREVER.
No subscription. No ads. No tracking. One small one-time purchase unlocks everything, for life.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your birthdays belong to you. Data is stored on your device and synced privately through your personal iCloud — never on our servers.
