Tap "Add Event" on the home screen, enter a title and a date, and save. You can also set an icon, a category, a background (photo or color) and a memo. If you are new, you can start from one of the examples on the home screen (Birthday, Anniversary, Travel, Exam or Something you keep up).

Your nearest event is shown large at the top, followed by "Upcoming" (countdowns) and "Counting up" (count-ups). Events whose date has passed are grouped under "Past events". You can also search, filter by category and change the sort order.

An event that doesn't repeat moves to "Past events" once its date has passed. From its detail screen, choose "Repeat yearly" to count down to the same date next year, or "Count up from this day" to count up from that date instead. Events that repeat every year or every month move on to their next date automatically.

For count-up events, milestones are day 7, 30, 50 and 100, then every 100 days, plus each anniversary (1 year, 2 years, and so on). The detail screen shows your next milestone, and "Notify on milestones" reminds you on the day.

On an event's detail screen, tap the share button and choose "Share as text" (a message like "12 days until …") or "Share as image" (a card with the day count) to send it to a messaging app or social network.

Countdowns can use "Notify on the day" and "Remind in advance" (from 1 day to 1 year before). Count-ups can use "Notify on milestones". In each case you can pick the time with "Notification Time".

In Settings, "Appearance" offers "Match device", "Light" and "Dark", and "Color theme" offers five themes: Gem, Stone, Moss, Night and Sakura (Gem and Stone in the free version). "Language" lets you pick one of 10 languages.

On a device signed in with the same Apple account (or Google account) you purchased with, tap "Restore Purchases" under "Support" in Settings, or on the Premium screen.

DayStone has no accounts, and your events and photos are stored only on your device. Nothing is stored on our servers, so there is no sync or transfer between devices, and deleting the app deletes your data. Restoring a full device backup (iCloud or Google) may bring your data back.

The photo you choose is copied into the app and never sent anywhere. Deleting the event deletes that copy too (the original photo stays in your library).

It asks whether ads in the free version may be tailored to you. Everything in the app works either way; if you don't allow it, you will see general ads. You can change this later in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. See the Privacy Policy for details.
