## What is days?

days, the perfect complement to Calendar - Keep track of the most important dates in your life!

① If you’re tired of fishing through calendar apps to find important dates that you occasionally need, either from the distant past or the far off future, then days is for you!

② If you want to see clearly the events coming up in your calendars without being shown lots of empty white boxes with entries in text so tiny you can’t even read what’s there on a given day, then days is for you!

③ If you want to know how long it’s been since you left school / university, had your last hair cut, saw a doctor, had a vaccination, started your current job, left your previous job, when you bought your car, how old your television is, then days is for you!

④ If you want to be reminded up to 31 days before your passport / drivers license expires, when your mortgage / loans run down, when your next medical appointment is, when you need to perform routine maintenance on your household devices, when you have to renew your subscriptions / contracts, how long to go before your vacation starts or you can retire, then days is for you!

⑤ If you want a single app that keeps track of ALL the most important dates in your life, and lets you manage these in a simple and clear UI, yet provides extensive categorisation, sorting, filtering, searching, and sharing capabilities, showing how old a past event is or a countdown to when a future event will occur, then days is for you!

Unlike most calendar apps which focus on events coming up in the near future, days has been designed to keep track of the most important dates in your life from the distant past to the distant future.  It manages this by seamlessly combining calendar entries with its own database to store events outside of calendar.  Use days to store distant past events such as your entire education, employment, medical history, and events off in the future like legal documents expiring, contracts running down, etc.

Use days own database to store events in three broad stores:

► Days Gone - Great for important dates you need to remember from the past: Medical Dates, Personal Dates, Project Milestones, Employment Dates, Education Dates, Equipment Age, Journal / Log Book

► Annual - Great for annually recurring events, just enter the details once and days will always remember: Birthdays, Anniversaries, Name days, Death dates, Public Holidays, Historic Events, National Celebrations

► Days To Go - Excellent as a to-do reminder store for keeping track of important dates coming up in the future:  Warranties Expiring, Membership / Subscription Renewals, Contractual Dates, Legal Documents Expiring, Bank Cards Expiring, Project Deadlines, Appointments, House Chores, Equipment Maintenance, Vacations and important Life Events

### 5/5 — Superbe application

*2026-01-09, version 4.1.6*

Acheté en 2010, utilisée pendant très longtemps jusqu'à ce qu'elle ne marche plus et à nouveau disponible depuis un an ... Merci.

### 5/5 — Very good!!!

*2025-08-11, version 4.1.6*

Very good app!! Happy to have it back again!!!

### 5/5 — Export and share

*2024-11-09, version 4.1.5*

Great underrated feature everyone will love. The recent update allows me to export all my information to a csv file. I’ve printed the information as a way to share information and to have others verify some important dates.  Also with this export I have a physical backup of my data

### 4/5 — It’s back!!!

*2024-08-24, version 4.1*

I used this for years and suddenly it disappeared. I’ve looked for a replacement ever since and nothing worked as well. I left it on my phone and was able to quickly populate from an old version. Thank you. It is super easy to track events in the past as well as countdown. 

-1 for removing date calculator from within events. 

It was  super easy to setup recurring events where you just added number of days, weeks, months or years to go versus having to pick a specific date. Example haircut every 5-6 weeks? Flip the week dials and it figures out target date. Easy.  Now go to calc and figure out new date?

### 5/5 — Thank you for resent updates

*2024-08-22*

This application was always my go to for calendar, events past events, and life history. It’s simple, easy, and easy to back up the data. I appreciate you taking the time to bring it back to life.

### 3/5 — sailor SD

*2018-03-04, version 3.4.4*

great app to log upcoming events, & easily convert those to diary of past events. But no maintenance since 2014.
What are best replacements?

### 5/5 — Geniales Produkt

*2017-12-02, version 3.4.4*

Kein Update mehr. Wie traurig. Kann jetzt die App leider nicht mehr mit Kalender 📅 verbinden. 
Alternative??

### 5/5 — Verdammt! Ich liebe diese App..

*2017-10-06, version 3.4.4*

Und muss jetzt feststellen, dass sie seit 3 Jahren nicht mehr aktualisiert worden ist, aber immer noch tadellos funktioniert, sogar auf meinem neuen iPad Pro mit iOS 11 :o

Aber ich wünschte trotzdem der Entwickler würde sich noch einmal dieser App annehmen, einfach damit ich die Gewissheit habe, dass ich sie noch lange Zeit verwenden kann, denn eine Alternative habe ich noch keine gefunden.

So, dear developer, please please don’t forget this wonderful app and do an update once in a while :)

### 2/5 — So So

*2017-08-14, version 3.4.4*

Definitely not very intuitive. Not very nice to use. App does work though and does what it claims to do.  After playing with it for 15 minutes I deleted it. 0.99 cents own the drain. Oh well. 

It's strange that there isn't a good simple Day Countdown app in the whole App Store that either doesn't look horrible or isn't very helpful in keeping track of events.

### 3/5 — Where is the developer?

*2017-07-02, version 3.4.4*

This is/was a great app but.....
No updates since mid 2014, developers website is no longer accessible! I originally gave it 5 stars but now it's lagging behind with no developer in sight. 
Let's hope the app works on iOS 11 or 3 years of information I've added to this app will be a great waste of time. 
Kinda makes me miss the simple and reliable old method of paper and pencil when this happens!
