About

Since is a quiet place for the days you share — and the things you want to do together. MAKE IT YOUR OWN Create shared notebooks with your own names and cover icons. Keep wishes, travel plans, packing lists, recipes, or any ideas you want to return to. Add notes, groups and optional dates; check off entries as you go. CONNECT NEARBY Open “Connect with your partner” on both iPhones, select the other phone and confirm once. Afterwards, your records sync when both apps are open nearby. Each notebook entry merges independently, and you can disconnect at any time while keeping your records. REMEMBER YOUR DAYS • Count the days since your relationship began and see upcoming milestones. • Save anniversaries, birthdays and meaningful dates, including annual and Chinese lunar-calendar repeats. • Set local reminders for dates you want to remember. • Record a daily mood and a short note for each person, with an optional photo reference; revisit them in a monthly calendar. • Add a Home Screen widget or a Live Activity to keep your day count close. YOUR RECORDS, YOUR CHOICE Optional automatic iCloud sync keeps records and notebooks across your devices using the same Apple Account while Since is open. You can also export and import a backup, or erase all data on this iPhone from Settings. Erasing local data turns off cloud sync and disconnects your partner; iCloud copies, exported backups and the other phone’s records are kept. No Since account is needed. Records stay on your device unless you choose nearby sharing, iCloud sync or export. We do not operate a server that collects your records. Photo files are not transferred; photo references may not work on another device. Nearby sync requires both phones to use a compatible version and keep the app open. All features are free. No ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases. Available in English and Simplified Chinese.
