## What is Candley?

Always forgetting birthdays or leaving cards and presents until the last minute? Candley helps you stay ahead of every important date — calmly, clearly, and without noise.

Add people once and Candley does the rest. It automatically tracks upcoming birthdays, calculates ages, counts down the days, and sends reliable reminders so you have time to plan properly. Whether you want a simple nudge on the day or advance notice to sort a card or gift, Candley keeps everything under control.

In version 3, the notification system was completely rebuilt from the ground up. Candley now fully supports unlimited people and unlimited notifications, so it scales effortlessly — no matter how big your family, friend group, or contact list is.

Candley also includes an optional Christmas mode. For each person, you can note whether you need to buy them a card, a present, or both — and even record thank-yous that need to be delivered. It’s a simple way to stay organised during the busiest time of year, without turning your app into a to-do list nightmare.

Key features:
• Unlimited birthdays and contacts

This is fantastic I’ve been using it for some time now and I have never missed a birthday. They also have a card buying site which takes all the pressure of getting a card and posting it.
Well done.
