How it works
- Add contacts or import birthdays from Contacts
- See who’s next in Upcoming and on widgets
- Get local reminders when the day arrives
- Optionally download an on-device model for wish and gift ideas
Reminders work without the AI model. Wish generation runs on your iPhone after an optional ~2.3 GB download — your contact data is not uploaded for ideas.

Important

Perfect for remembering the people who matter — privately, on your iPhone.
