Read full description

DayCapsule helps you count down — and count up — to the moments that shape your life. Birthdays, anniversaries, trips, exams, weddings. Every event deserves a beautiful frame. — WHY DAYCAPSULE — Designed for people who care about how things look, not just how they work. The "Iced Cream" aesthetic — warm cream tones, champagne gold, and elegant serif type — gives your most important dates the visual presence they deserve. No forced subscription. No intrusive ads behind paywalls. No feature bloat. Just your days, beautifully displayed. — CORE FEATURES — Countdown & Count-up Know exactly how many days until your next birthday, or how many days you have been together. DayCapsule calculates both automatically. Home Screen & Lock Screen Widgets Small, Medium, and Large home screen widgets, plus three Lock Screen widget styles, all sharing the same beautiful design language as the app itself. 9 Event Categories Birthday, Anniversary, Travel, Work, Education, Sports, Health, Wedding, Holiday — each with its own icon and color accent. Lunar Calendar Support Dates display both the Gregorian and traditional Chinese lunar calendar simultaneously. Essential for users who celebrate both. Repeating Events Set birthdays and anniversaries to repeat yearly, or monthly for bills and routines. Custom Reminders Set iOS notifications at the exact time that works for you. Never miss a day that matters. Event Cover Photo Give every event a personal background image pulled from your photo library. 36 Event Templates Jumpstart your setup with preset events: Mom's Birthday, Graduation Day, Wedding Anniversary, and more. Notes & Emoji Add context and character to any event. "Today in History" & Milestones Discover what happened on this date throughout history, and celebrate your own milestones. Privacy First All data is stored locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded to any server. — WIDGETS THAT ACTUALLY LOOK GOOD — Most widget apps use generic system fonts and placeholder designs. DayCapsule widgets use the same brand typography and color palette as the full app, so your home screen and lock screen look considered, not cobbled together. — FREE, CLEAN, NO TRICKS — DayCapsule is free to download. Ad-supported with non-intrusive banner and occasional interstitial placements. No subscription wall. No locked core features. Contact: [contact info to be added]
