Repeat the date each year

A yearly moment advances after its date passes. Use it for birthdays and anniversaries that fall on the same Gregorian date each year. The completed occurrence stays in your history.

Add an Antici widget and select an upcoming birthday. You can switch to another moment when you want a different countdown on your Home Screen.

Questions about birthdays & recurring dates

How do I make a birthday countdown repeat every year?: Create a moment for the next birthday and choose yearly repeat. After the date passes, Antici advances it to the next year. Yearly repeat follows the Gregorian calendar.
What happens to the photo after a recurring birthday passes?: The completed birthday keeps its photo in your history. The next birthday starts without a photo, so you can choose a new one for that year.
Can I keep several birthdays together?: Yes. Create a Birthdays category and assign each birthday moment to it. You can choose an individual birthday to show in your Home Screen widget.
