Stay effortlessly connected with your partner, family member, or the person who matters most. Remember, reach out, and nurture your most important relationship. Everything to stay close • Every Date, Remembered – Save a birthday, an anniversary, a first date, or a trip, and Darling counts down to it. Dates already in your contacts arrive on their own. • Reminders That Arrive in Time – A week before, the day before, and on the day itself. You decide whether the notification names them. • Smart Contact Preferences – Darling automatically gathers that person's phone numbers, emails, addresses, and important dates from your contacts. • Glanceable Widgets – Keep your favorite person close on the Home Screen, and put the Date Countdown and Quick Contact widgets on the Lock Screen and in StandBy (Premium). • A Widget for Their Photo – The Portrait widget shows their picture on its own, in every Home Screen size (Premium). • A Background You Choose – Dress your start screen in the classic Darling artwork or one of six backgrounds. Cards, countdown rings, and the map pin follow it. • A Color for Every Date – Give a date its own color, or let it follow your background and change with it. • Optimized for iOS 26 – Experience the refined Liquid Glass look with depth, translucency, and dynamic accents. • Available in 36 Languages – Darling speaks your language, with dates and counts that follow your region's conventions. Free and Premium Darling is free to download. Every date you save is remembered and reminded — that is never metered — and your start screen counts down to the next one. The free app lets you choose one person, call, FaceTime, text, or email them, and wear any of the six built-in backgrounds. Premium draws every date on your start screen at once and adds the Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy widgets, the in-app date and address cards, instant messaging, and social profiles. It also lets you make a background of your own — nine colors, shuffled until the mix looks right, with one of six patterns over the top. Premium is a subscription: a weekly plan with a 3-day free trial, or an annual plan. Both plans support Family Sharing, so one subscription covers up to six family members — including the person you set up in the app. Prices are shown in your local currency on the App Store. Requirements Darling runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 17.6 or later, and on Apple Silicon Macs as an iPad app. Terms: https://www.alientoes.se/terms/ Privacy: https://www.alientoes.se/privacy-policy/
