When you live alone, no one reminds you. Car inspection, health checkup, passport renewal, insurance deadline — it all falls on you. And these things are easy to forget until it's too late. Demiva is a minimal life log for recurring tasks. Record when you last completed something, and get reminded when it's due again — without guilt, streaks, or pressure. HOW IT WORKS • Add an item: name, icon, color, and how often it repeats • Tap "Mark Complete" when done — add an optional note • Demiva tracks elapsed days and alerts you when it's time FLEXIBLE CYCLES • Flexible — every N days, weeks, or months • Weekly — specific days of the week • Monthly — a fixed day each month • Yearly — a fixed date each year MULTI-CALENDAR SUPPORT Track dates in Chinese Lunar, Islamic, Persian, or Hebrew calendars natively. Lunar New Year, Ramadan, Nowruz, High Holidays — set them once and Demiva calculates the correct date every year. SMART NOTIFICATIONS • Reminder at your chosen time on the due date • Lead-day alerts: 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, or 1 month before SNOOZE Not ready yet? Snooze an overdue item for a week, a month, or a custom date. The badge disappears and notifications pause — intentionally, not accidentally. WIDGETS • Home screen Small widget: your most overdue item at a glance • Lock screen widget: compact name and elapsed days • Tap to open the app directly to that item BUILT FOR LIVING ALONE When there's no one to remind you, Demiva steps in. No streaks, no judgment — just a calm answer to "When did I last handle this?" and a heads-up when it's due again. Available in 9 languages: English, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Indonesian, Arabic, Persian, Hebrew
