Birthdays, anniversaries, the day you met, a trip you can't wait for… some days are worth remembering. Noteday keeps track of every day that matters, shows how many days are left or how long it has been, and reminds you before it arrives. RECORD EVERY DAY THAT MATTERS • Just pick a date. Noteday automatically shows the days until or since, so there's no need to choose between a countdown and a count-up. • Supports the Gregorian and Chinese lunar calendars, specific times and end times, with automatic archiving when an event ends. • Flexible repeats: daily, weekly, every two weeks, monthly, yearly, or by weekday, such as the second Sunday of every month. • Add notes and photos to each event to capture the moment. • Milestones: Noteday highlights days worth celebrating, like Day 100, Day 1,000, the first month and every anniversary, reminds you on the day, and lets you add a note for it. WIDGETS • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show how many days are left without opening the app. • Single-event widget: keep your most important day on your Home Screen. • Event list widget (Pro): see several upcoming days at a glance. • Time progress widgets: see how much of today, this week, this month and this year has passed (Pro unlocks all). NEVER MISS A DAY • Daily reminders, advance reminders and custom reminder times. • Location reminders: get reminded when you arrive at a place. • Default birthday reminders: set reminders once for all birthdays, and changes apply automatically. • Live Activities: when an event with a specific time is about to start, a countdown appears on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. ORGANIZE AND STYLE IT YOUR WAY • Organize events into categories, each with its own icon and color. • Give events an avatar (photo or emoji), a background and their own color. Custom images and solid color backgrounds are Pro features. • Choose from several event list styles and patterns, plus your own accent color, app icon and number font. Dark Mode supported.
