Existing counting settings stay the same until you change them. โ€ข See milestones suited to each kind, including 100 days, months, anniversaries, birthdays, and past milestones. โ€ข Search all days, filter by kind, pin a date, drag your personal order, and preview the next 30 days. โ€ข Repeat Korean lunar birthdays using offline solar-date conversion for 1900โ€“2050, with a choice of leap-month rules. โ€ข Use small and medium home screen widgets and lock screen widgets. Choose a different day for each widget (iOS 17 or later). โ€ข Set reminders in your local time. Choose date and milestone reminders and their hour. The nearest 60 reminders are refilled when you open the app. โ€ข Celebrate milestones and share square or portrait image cards.

Keep your special days close. Damda puts countdowns and anniversaries on your Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets, so you see how many days are left โ€” or have passed โ€” without opening the app. โ–  First widget in 3 minutes No account, no survey. Type a title and pick a date; the card is ready, with step-by-step instructions for adding the widget. โ–  Lock Screen + Home Screen widgets Three Lock Screen widgets (inline, circular, rectangular) and three Home Screen sizes. Show one date big, or a list of the nearest dates. Each widget can have its own date and theme, and you can hide notes and photos on the Lock Screen. โ–  Accurate day math D-day and D+day, count the first day as day 1, repeat every year, and a clear rule for February 29. Results stay correct across time zone changes and past midnight. Upcoming milestones such as 100 days and 1 year are shown ahead of time. โ–  Reminders 30 days, 7 days, 1 day before, and on the day, at the time you choose. Notification permission is only requested when you turn a reminder on. โ–  Make it yours Six themes โ€” Milk, Rose, Navy, Forest, Mono, Photo โ€” plus your own photo. The preview looks exactly like the real widget. โ–  No account, no server Dates, notes and photos stay on this device.
