A photo of the one you follow, and the next date that matters, kept on your home screen. β–  WHAT IT DOES - Register who you follow, then add photos and dates - Pick one of three widget looks - See the days remaining and a day counter on your home screen β–  WIDGETS Small, Medium and Large are supported. On iOS 27 and later an Extra Large portrait size is also available. The three looks are PHOTO CARD, TICKET and EDITORIAL. Background colour, text colour, the days remaining and the day counter can each be turned on or off. Photos can stay on one picture, or rotate automatically. β–  DATES Five kinds: live/event, streaming, release, birthday and anniversary. Enter a name and a date and time, and a note if you want. Live and event entries can carry a ticket mark. Birthdays and anniversaries repeat every year. Dates that have passed are folded away. The day before reads TOMORROW, and the day itself reads TODAY. With no dates entered, the widget switches to a photo-only layout. β–  PHOTOS Photos are chosen with the standard picker, so no full photo library permission is requested. On import the app measures where the face is, on the device only, and shifts the crop so text does not sit on it. All that is stored is the rectangle's coordinates. No face print or identifier is created. If you do not like the result you can crop it yourself. β–  FREE One person, 3 photos, 5 dates, the Small widget and PHOTO CARD. β–  FULL (JPY 980, one-time purchase) Unlimited photos, dates and people. All four sizes - Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large (portrait) - and all three looks. Background colour, text colour and which lines appear can all be adjusted. It is a one-time purchase and can be restored with the same Apple Account. β–  NETWORK AND DATA No account. Nothing is sent to a server. No ads. Photos and dates are stored on the device only. Requires iPhone, portrait, iOS 18.0 or later (the Extra Large portrait widget needs iOS 27).
