Provides advice, comfort and inspiration for all types of life situations, via carefully prepared text and photos. * Helpful advice for times of stress * Encouragement for any time * Use for centering or meditation * Use as a thought of the day to ponder Categories of text: - Choose For Me (a random selection) - Receive Encouragement - For Disappointment - For Sadness / Depression - For Anxiety / Fear - For Irritation / Anger - About Solace (explanation and instructions) You may either choose text by category, or allow a random selection especially for you. Optionally you can have the app open immediately to a random selection, as a "thought of day", and the text may be either autoscrolled or allow you to scroll manually. The app contains a collection of original passages of text composed especially for this application, inspired by Eckhart Tolle, Torkom Saraydarian, J.Krishnamurti and other teachers of the Ageless Wisdom. There is no religious content, but it is intended to be spiritually refreshing and stimulating. The text is non-trivial - it encourages you to explore deeply, inspires you to overcome your limitations, and provides comfort and self-empowerment in times of need. The background pictures of nature are beautiful, peaceful and inspiring, complementing the tone and mood of the text. Users are encouraged to take the time to absorb the meaning of the text and apply it to their own lives. The app has deliberately slow and elegant transitions from item to item - to encourage the user to become more still and focused, and thus become more receptive to the deeper meaning of the words.

Anniversary Countdown Tracker turns the dates that matter — your wedding day, the day you met, a birthday, a quiet milestone — into a live count you can see at a glance: how many days until the next one, and how many days you have already shared. Most countdown apps treat every date the same. This one understands anniversaries. It knows your 25th is Silver and your next big one is Pearl, counts time together in real years, months and days (never days divided by 365), lands a Feb 29 anniversary on the right day, and repeats yearly so you enter a date once and never again. WHAT YOU GET • "612 days until your Silver anniversary" waiting on your Home Screen widget — no need to open the app • A running days-together counter: 9 years, 4 months, 11 days — 3,421 days in total • Reminders that actually arrive: a week before, a day before, the morning of — at the hour you choose • The traditional gift for every year — Paper, Wood, Silver, Gold — surfaced before you have to search for it • A plan for the day: dinner spot, gift idea and place saved with each date, plus a photo and a note • Share cards ready to post — "1,000 days together" as a clean image in two taps PERFECT FOR • Couples counting the days together since their first date • Spouses who never want to scramble the week before a wedding anniversary • Anyone keeping birthdays, memorials and family milestones in one calm place • Long-distance partners watching the count to the next reunion WHY NOT JUST USE THE CALENDAR? A calendar tells you a date exists. It does not count the days for you, does not know your 30th is Pearl, fires one alert you will swipe away, and puts your anniversary next to a dentist appointment. Here, every date gets a countdown, a memory and a reminder plan of its own. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your dates, notes and photos stay on your iPhone. No account, no cloud upload, no tracking. The widget shows only the short summary it needs. FULL ACCESS Anniversary Countdown Tracker requires Full Access: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Full Access unlocks unlimited events, the Home Screen widget, multi-date reminders, every share-card design and all event colours. Add your first date today — by tonight, the count is already on your Home Screen.
