iDay makes sure you never again forget a birthday, wedding anniversary or any other important date. BIRTHDAYS FROM YOUR CONTACTS iDay takes birthdays and anniversaries from your contacts automatically and keeps them up to date. You can also create your own entries – no need for a separate contact for your Aunt Gwen or your dog Snoopy. FIRST DATE, ANNIVERSARY, HOLIDAYS Be reminded of the anniversary of your first date, enter name days, school holidays or your vacation – anything worth a reminder. Round anniversaries and 18th birthdays are highlighted in the list. REMINDERS AT YOUR CHOSEN TIME On days with a date, iDay reminds you at the time of day you choose. LOTS OF FACTS FOR EVERY DAY For every date iDay shows the calendar week and day of the year, the time elapsed, the zodiac sign, the Chinese horoscope, the totem animal, the Celtic tree and the moon phase. Links take you further: Wikipedia, the saint of the day, "On this day" at Britannica and the national days at Checkiday. BIRTHDAY WISHES RIGHT FROM THE APP Congratulate by phone, text message or WhatsApp – or with a beautifully designed birthday card by e-mail that sums up age, zodiac sign, horoscopes and fun facts about the birthday. BACKUP Save all entries including photos to a file with one tap – for example to iCloud Drive or by e-mail – and restore them on a new device. FILTER AND SORT Show all entries or only events, birthdays or holidays, and sort by days remaining, date in the year, first name or last name. The search field finds entries by name. LIGHT OR DARK, IPHONE OR IPAD iDay follows light and dark mode and shows the list and the details side by side on the iPad. SUBSCRIPTION The first five entries of the list are free to use. The annual subscription unlocks all entries and lets you add new ones. It renews automatically unless it is cancelled in your Apple Account settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
