Birthday Time turns every birthday into a special moment — twice a day. Here's how it works: your friend's birthday maps to a unique time. The month becomes the hour, and the day becomes the minute. July 4? That's 7:04 PM. December 25? 12:25 PM. January 1? 1:01 PM. Every person you know has their own Birthday Time, and it happens twice daily — once in the AM and once in the PM. Birthday Time sends you a notification at the exact moment so you never miss it. FEATURES • Automatic Birthday Detection — Import contacts who already have birthdays saved, or add anyone manually • Smart Notifications — Get notified at the exact minute of each person's Birthday Time, both AM and PM • Quiet Hours — Set a window so you're never woken up by an early-morning Birthday Time • Live Clock — Watch the current time and see whose birthday it maps to right now • Celebration Mode — When it's someone's Birthday Time, the app lights up with confetti and gold • Famous Birthdays — Discover which celebrities share the current Birthday Time, with photos from Wikipedia • Quick Message — Tap to send a birthday text right from the celebration screen • Home Screen Widget — Small and medium widgets that update every minute and celebrate active Birthday Times • Beautiful Design — Animated gradient backgrounds, floating particles, and glass effects Birthday Time is a fun, delightful way to think about the people in your life — every single day.

Echo is your personal notebook for the people you care about. Life gets busy. You mean to call your uncle, check in on a friend after their surgery, or ask your coworker about their big trip — and then weeks pass. Echo makes sure that never happens. YOUR PEOPLE, ALL IN ONE PLACE Organize everyone in your life — family, friends, colleagues, neighbors — into relationship circles that make sense to you. Each person gets their own profile with the details that actually matter: their favorite coffee, their kids' names, where they grew up, anything worth remembering. NEVER FORGET A CONVERSATION After a lunch, a call, or a catch-up — log a quick note. Next time you talk, you will know exactly where you left off. No more scrolling through months of old messages trying to remember what they told you. ALWAYS KNOW WHEN TO REACH OUT Set follow-up reminders for every person — every 30 days, every 3 months, whenever feels right. Get reminded about birthdays, anniversaries, and special dates before they happen. The Timeline shows you exactly who needs a little attention today. THE LITTLE THINGS MATTER It is the small details that make people feel truly known. Echo helps you be the friend who remembers. The family member who shows up. The person who asks the right question at the right time. BEAUTIFULLY PRIVATE Everything stays on your device. No cloud, no accounts, no tracking. Your relationships are personal — your data stays that way too. Import contacts from your phone in seconds and make the app yours with five beautiful themes: Slate, Sienna, Cove, Mystique, and Petal. Echo is for anyone who wants to be a little more present for the people they love.
