There are dates that are not just numbers on the calendar, but moments that really matter. A birthday is an opportunity to make someone feel important, to dedicate a thought, a message, a smile. Birthday Schedule was created for this very reason: to help you never forget the people who are part of your life. With Birthday Schedule, you can save all birthdays easily and instantly. The app automatically calculates their age and always shows you the next birthday, even in future years, so you know in advance who will be celebrating and when. You can organize the list however you like, filter by month or year, and have everything under control in seconds. Notifications are fully customizable: you can decide how many days in advance to receive the alert, at what time, and choose whether to enable or disable them for each individual person. Notifications are recurring every year, so you never have to re-enter anything. The app takes care of everything, you just have to enjoy the moment. Each birthday can be made even more personal by adding a photo, taken directly with your camera or chosen from your library. A face, a memory, an emotion: when you open the app, you'll know immediately who it is, without even reading the name. When the special day arrives, Birthday Schedule lets you take immediate action: you can send birthday messages, emails, or share your thoughts on social media, or search for a gift online or a nearby store for a last-minute surprise. Everything is designed to make the gesture simple and natural. Thanks to iCloud synchronization, your birthdays are always available on all your Apple devices. Birthday Schedule is available in Italian, English, French, Spanish, German, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Russian, so you can use it in your own language or recommend it to anyone, anywhere in the world. Simple to use, elegant in design, and reliable every day, Birthday Schedule is the perfect app for those who want to take care of their relationships without forgetting anyone. Download it now and turn every birthday into a truly special moment!

Jot. Swipe down to add tasks or notes. No menus, no nested folders, no project-management overhead. Just today's plan, focused and clear. — EVERY TASK HAS A FATE — Jot. doesn't believe in infinite backlogs. Swipe to complete a task. Hold to shelve it for another day. Rescue it from yesterday's pile if it still matters. Active, completed, shelved, rescued. Every task finds its resolution. — A PHYSICS PILE, EVERY MORNING — Unfinished tasks don't vanish quietly at midnight. They tumble into a letter-pile physics simulation overnight. Drag the pile to send letters flying. Pick up what still matters. Let the rest go. — DAILY NOTES — Pull down on the note page to open a full-screen markdown editor with a floating toolbar. Bold headers, bullet lists, numbered lists, code blocks — your thoughts, formatted the way you mean them. — HISTORY — Every resolved task is saved by date. Browse by week, month, year, or all time. Filter by completed, shelved, or uncompleted. Search by task name. Export any day's work as a clean markdown file. — THE PHILOSOPHY — Jot. is built on one idea: your to-do list should expire every morning. Yesterday's priorities are not today's. A fresh start, every day. Do more. Think less. Just Jot.
