Your birthdays, anniversaries, and important dates โ€” all in one place, with reminders that actually work. We all know the feeling. You remember someone's birthday at 11pm, scramble for a last-minute message, and promise yourself it won't happen again. Or your wedding anniversary creeps up and you realize you forgot to make dinner plans. NeverMiss makes sure it doesn't happen. REMEMBER EVERY DATE THAT MATTERS Track birthdays, anniversaries, meetings, reservations, celebrations, holidays, and anything else life throws at you. Each event type has its own smart defaults, so birthdays automatically repeat yearly while meetings stay one-time. Set it once, forget about the setup, and let NeverMiss handle the rest. REMINDERS ON YOUR TERMS Stack multiple reminders on a single event. Get a heads up one month out to plan a gift, another one week before to make reservations, and a final nudge the morning of. Set your preferred notification time so you wake up to a gentle reminder instead of a midnight ping. SEE WHAT'S COMING AT A GLANCE Color-coded countdown badges show you exactly how many days are left. Red means today, orange means soon, green means you have time. The calendar view lays out your month so nothing sneaks up on you. WIDGETS THAT KEEP YOU ON TRACK Add home screen widgets to see upcoming events and birthdays without opening the app. Small, medium, and large sizes let you choose how much you want to see. Widgets update automatically so the countdown is always fresh. IMPORT WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE Pull birthdays from your contacts and events from your calendar in seconds. NeverMiss detects duplicates so you never end up with two entries for the same person. Already use another calendar app? Export all your events as a standard .ics file and share them anywhere. NOTES FOR THE THOUGHTFUL Attach notes to any event. Write down gift ideas, shirt sizes, dietary preferences, or that restaurant they mentioned wanting to try. When the date arrives, you'll know exactly what to do. YOUR DATA, SAFE AND SYNCED Everything backs up to iCloud automatically. Switch phones, restore from a backup, or just rest easy knowing your data isn't going anywhere. DARK MODE & 30 LANGUAGES Choose between light and dark themes. NeverMiss speaks your language with full support for English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Dutch, Polish, Ukrainian, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Swedish, Czech, Romanian, Greek, Hungarian, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Bengali, and Filipino. EDIT RECURRING EVENTS YOUR WAY Changed the weekly meeting time? Edit just this one, this and all future occurrences, or every instance at once. Set end dates for events that won't go on forever.
