Minday
Read full descriptionHide full description
Remember the dates that matter, with time to prepare. Minday brings birthdays, anniversaries, remembrance dates and everyday renewals into one simple date reminder. KEEP THE CALENDAR YOU USE Record dates in the Gregorian or Chinese lunar calendar. Set an event once, or repeat it weekly, monthly or yearly. For month ends, February 29 and lunar leap months or short months, choose how the date should be handled. GIVE EACH DATE MORE THAN ONE ALERT Add several reminders to the same event, each with its own time of day and number of days in advance. Prepare a week ahead, then get another reminder on the day. You can also save a date without notifications. SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN Check the next event and days remaining on the home screen. After adding reminders, preview the event date and all alert times before saving. One-time events show their single occurrence; repeating events show up to the next three occurrences. Past alert times are marked clearly. CHECK WHAT IS ACTUALLY SCHEDULED The reminder status screen shows notification permission, the next scheduled alert and the current coverage window. Send a test notification, or retry scheduling when a failure is shown. Saving a date and scheduling its alerts are reported separately. YOUR DATE RECORDS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE No account is required. Titles, notes, dates and reminder rules are stored on your device and are not uploaded to Minday's own servers. There is no cloud sync. Core date and reminder features are free. Optional Pro permanently removes ads. Minday uses iOS local notifications. Delivery depends on notification permissions and system conditions. Open the app periodically to replenish upcoming alerts; leaving it unopened for a long time may exhaust the scheduled reminders.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Turnada at none against Minday's shown. Minday's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
