Countdown to what comes next. Don’t just see how many days are left. Make the day worth arriving for. TimewiseCat helps you manage birthdays, adoptaversaries, anniversaries, upcoming plans, and other meaningful dates. It brings everything together, from counting down and preparing for an event to marking the day and sharing the memories you create. Beyond the usual countdown features, TimewiseCat includes full-screen animations tailored to each event and a message card editor that turns your photos and videos into something personal. It is not only a way to remember important dates, but also a place to prepare for them, experience them, and share them in your own way. 【Countdowns and Message Cards, Connected】 Link a message card directly to any special event you register. Because the event details and the card remain connected, you can check the date, prepare your card, preview the finished video, and share it without losing track of what belongs to each occasion. Once your video is ready, you can lock the card until the event date to protect it from accidental changes. 【Fill the Screen When the Day Arrives】 When an event arrives, TimewiseCat fills the screen with an animation that matches the occasion, including balloons, confetti, fireworks, spotlights, and stars. Instead of ending with a countdown reaching zero, TimewiseCat turns the moment the day begins into part of the experience. 【Turn Photos and Videos into Something Original】 Create personalized message cards by combining your favorite photos or videos with text, decorations, backgrounds, and animations. ・Create a video from multiple photos ・Crop photos and videos and adjust their position ・Customize text, fonts, colors, and speech bubbles ・Arrange images and decorations freely ・Add solid-color or gradient backgrounds ・Combine two animation effects in one composition ・Create portrait or landscape content ・Share the finished result as a video or still image Rather than simply sharing a screenshot of a countdown, TimewiseCat lets you create an original video made especially for the occasion. 【For Days of Celebration and Remembrance】 The time we share with pets, family, and friends is marked by many different milestones, not only birthdays and anniversaries. TimewiseCat can manage adoptaversaries, birthdays, birth anniversaries, remembrance days, and memorial services as part of one continuing story. After saying goodbye to someone important, you can choose whether birthdays and anniversaries should continue to appear. It is a place not only for joyful plans, but also for quietly remembering the days you never want to forget. 【Keep Special Occasions and Everyday Plans Organized】 ・Adoptaversaries ・Birthdays for you, your family, and your friends ・Wedding anniversaries, business anniversaries, and other milestones ・Trips, exams, concerts, and other scheduled dates ・Events that repeat every year or every month ・Flexible events containing multiple dates Special occasions and everyday schedules can be organized separately, while the Home screen brings together today’s events and your upcoming plans. For practical monthly schedules such as payment or transfer dates, events can also be moved forward or backward when they fall on weekends or holidays. 【Stay Ready with Reminders and Widgets】 Set reminders for the day of an event, 1 day before, 3 days before, 1 week before, or 1 month before. Each event can have its own notification time, helping you prepare gifts and message cards in advance. Widgets can display the next event, the next special event, the next everyday event, or an event you select. See how many days remain without opening the app. Count it. Remember it. Mark it. Create it. Share it. Turn an important date into more than just another item on your calendar.
