## What is Thoughtful?

Never miss the people who matter.

Thoughtful remembers every birthday, anniversary, and holiday — then writes the message and opens it in Messages, ready to send. One tap, and you're the person who always remembers.

ONE CARD PER PERSON
Everyone you love gets a single card holding every occasion: their birthday, your anniversary, the holidays you text them for. See the exact message that will send for each one, tap to make it yours, or let Message ideas write it for you.

THE WHOLE LOOP, HANDLED
- Import every birthday from Contacts in one tap
- A reminder lands on the day — at the time you choose — every year, automatically
- Your message opens pre-written in Messages. You just hit send.
- Missed a day? The Catch up card keeps it in view until you text them or check it off

THE THOUGHTFUL DETAILS

- Back up everything to a file, photos included

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.10 — 2026-09-09

Remembered people stay quiet everywhere now: their holiday reminders, the prefilled text and the Send button all speak gently.

Invite a friend opens the share sheet, Year in Review carries the App Store link, and Settings has a quiet Rate Thoughtful row. Thoughtful asks how it is doing only after a few sent texts, and never after a condolence.

Labels on filled buttons and the active tab read clearly in dark mode, the welcome screen scrolls at any text size, and deleting one of your own holidays clears every snoozed reminder for it.

### 1.2.9 — 2026-09-05

Reminder fixes: snoozing a reminder from the notification works reliably again, shared holidays now arrive as one reminder that lists everyone instead of dropping people, the evening catch-up nudge knows when you already texted, and a reminder still texts the right number after you change someone's phone.

Saving a person now tells the truth about whether a reminder is armed, remembrance days never get confetti, and the back button on a person's page is easier to see.

### 1.2.8 — 2026-09-03

The bottom tabs now work like real tabs: each screen stays exactly where you left it, switching is instant, and there is no swiping between screens.

Press and hold anyone on Home or People for a quick look: their occasions with countdowns, when you last texted, and the next message, with Text now and View right there.

Home and Calendar lost their commentary lines, and adding an occasion from a person's page brings you back to that page.

### 1.2.7 — 2026-09-02

Tapping a reminder now lands you in Messages faster, with your text ready to go.

Editing lives on the person's page now. Tap their name to change their details. Tap any occasion to change its date, time, message, or type, or to remove it. Pick a heartfelt, funny, or short message right there, and clear a date if you need to.

Screens now switch with a soft fade, and the saved bar steps aside sooner.

### 1.2.6 — 2026-08-31

Every person's page now wears their own color — the soft tint behind their name matches their circle in your list, and it steps aside for a quiet gray on remembrance days.

One color language everywhere: amber for birthdays, rose for anniversaries, violet for your own special days, teal for holidays — on the year line, the occasion list, and the calendar. Memorial dates on the calendar are marked gently in gray, never in celebration colors.

And the big one: tapping a reminder on their day now takes you straight into Messages with your text ready to send.
