Date Reminder keeps every date you can't afford to miss in one place and reminds you right on time. Passport and visa renewals, vehicle inspections, car and home insurance, bills, subscriptions, birthdays and anniversaries: all in one list, sorted by time. A LIST SORTED BY TIME Your reminders sit in Overdue, Today, Tomorrow, This week, This month and Later. The closest date is always on top, and urgency colors show what needs attention at a glance. ALERTS THAT SET THEMSELVES The further away a date is, the earlier the first alert arrives. For a passport that expires in a year you hear about it three months, one month, one week and one day before. Pick your own alerts for any reminder if you like, and set your alert time and quiet hours. ADD IN THREE TAPS Title, date, save. Add with ready made suggestions, use "Save and new" to enter several in a row, or paste a whole list to add dozens at once. REPEATING DATES Set birthdays, yearly renewals and monthly payments to repeat. When you complete one, the next date appears on its own. TAGS, SEARCH AND BULK ACTIONS Group reminders with your own tags, search them, and complete, postpone or delete several at once. Deleted reminders can be restored for 30 days. WORKS OFFLINE Add and edit without a connection. Everything syncs when you are back online. NO EMAIL, NO PASSWORD You don't have to share any personal details to use the app. When you change phones, your recovery code moves your reminders to the new device. You can delete your account inside the app at any time. Available in English and Turkish.
