Create a personal Advent calendar and gift it to someone you love: 24 doors filled with photos, videos, voice messages and little surprises, opening one by one in December. Newly redesigned for 2026: fresh calendar designs, a warmer, calmer look, voice messages behind any door, and full iPad support with iCloud sync — in 20 languages. Why you'll love the Advent App Doors made for your loved one Fill every door with your favorite photos and videos, a special song, a voucher, a funny quote, or a little memory you know they'll smile about. Fill it your way, not all at once Because the calendar is digital, you don't need to finish everything by December 1. Add doors as you go and update them whenever you like. Gentle reminders so you never miss a day If you enable notifications, we'll send you a little reminder the day before each door opens. No account needed When you create your calendar, we generate a custom link you can send to your loved ones via WhatsApp, SMS or email. No sign-up for anyone — they simply download the free Advent App, tap your link, and their calendar is ready. Share with as many people as you like One calendar, one link — send it to one special person or the whole family. Gift it ad-free — or send it for free Sending an ad-free calendar is a one-time purchase per calendar — no subscription. And if you'd rather not pay, there's a free option too: your loved one simply watches a short ad before opening each door. Have fun creating and gifting, and have a tree-mendous holiday season!

Did you eat?
Read full descriptionHide full description
Did you eat? A simple question that shapes your day. This minimalist meal tracker turns your eating habits into a quiet, beautiful picture: one dot for every day from today until you turn 100. THE CONCEPT Every day is a dot, and every dot holds three meals. Log breakfast, lunch and dinner and watch today's dot fill with color. Over weeks and years, your grid becomes a picture of how well you take care of yourself. HOW IT WORKS • Tap once to log. The button knows whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner. • Eating dinner after midnight? It still counts for the right day. • Forgot one? Fix today or yesterday in a couple of taps. • See your streak of full days and your meals this week at a glance. • Get gentle reminders for the meals you choose, with a different nudge each day. SPECIAL MOMENTS Life isn't just meals. It's milestones. Your birthday, New Year, Christmas and your tracking anniversary live right in your grid and count down day by day: "15 days until my birthday." NEW: YOUR OWN SPECIAL DATES Add up to five dates that matter to you, like an anniversary, a trip or a big day, and watch them count down alongside the rest. Make them repeat every year or happen just once. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from 12 accent colors. Set meal windows that fit your schedule. Turn on reminders only for the meals you need. DID YOU EAT? PRO One-time purchase. No subscription. • Home screen widget: your streak, today's meals and your week, in your color • Detailed statistics: best streak, perfect days, completion rate and more • iCloud sync across your devices • Friendly summaries and daily encouragement, written privately on your iPhone by Apple Intelligence (requires an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence) MINIMALIST BY DESIGN No calorie counting. No food diaries. No complicated charts. Just a simple question asked three times a day: Did you eat? Start your journey today.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Did you eat? at none against Advent App's shown. Advent App's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
