Countdown, Widgets & Cards
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
New: gift ideas for everyone, reminders up to a month ahead, and Siri shortcuts. One purchase, yours forever — no subscription, no ads.
Never miss a birthday again. Candles keeps every birthday in one beautiful place — with countdowns, smart reminders, and widgets that show who's next at a glance.
REMINDERS THAT GIVE YOU TIME
Choose when you're reminded — on the day, 1, 2 or 3 days before, 1 or 2 weeks before, or a full month ahead — at the time of day that suits you. Enough time to find a gift, send a card, or plan something special. A monthly summary on the 1st shows everyone celebrating that month.
QUICK SETUP
Import birthdays straight from your contacts in seconds, or add anyone manually — friends, family, colleagues, even pets.
ALWAYS AT A GLANCE
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with live countdowns
• Apple Watch app — upcoming birthdays on your wrist
• iCloud sync keeps every device up to date automatically
GIFT IDEAS FOR EVERYONE
Save gift ideas for each person as they come to you — add a link, then tick them off once they're bought.
SIRI & SHORTCUTS
Ask "Whose birthday is next in Candles?", add a birthday by voice, or find anyone instantly in Spotlight search.
CELEBRATE IN STYLE
Send beautiful shareable birthday cards, copy ready-made wishes, and enjoy confetti on the big day.
ONE PURCHASE. YOURS FOREVER.
No subscription. No ads. No tracking. One small one-time purchase unlocks everything, for life.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
