days is a Personal Information Manager application with a different take on traditional calendar applications. Instead of having empty dates displayed interfering with actual events, days only shows actual event details you are interested in. The application organises the events in three broad categories: Annual Events, Days Gone, Days to Go. These main lists can then be instantly sorted by days-to-go/gone or alphabetically, as well as show only specific categories. You can also have the app alert you in advance for any event - from on the day to up to 9 days before (iOS 4.0 and above), as well as displaying intelligent badge counts both within the app and on the home screen icon.
Annual Tab
This list consists of annually recurring events, ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, national/public holidays etc.. Enter the details once, and days will continually display and cycle the next event with days to go and current age (unless you turn off the age counting function when the start date is unknown or irrelevant)
Days Gone Tab
This list shows how many days have passed (as well as years/months/days) since a certain event you would like to remember. Useful for remembering when you last got a hair cut, or when you quit smoking, or track how old your equipment and possessions are, or your work and academic history (useful when compiling CV’s) , etc...
Days To Go Tab
This list is great for date based to-do events as well as any future event that needs to be acted upon. How many times have you forgot to renew a legal document (Passport / Visa / Residence Permit / Car Papers) and then got in to trouble with authorities?
This tab will display the days to go before an event, and when the event due date is past, it will start to show negative days-to-go in red, so you will always be reminded of any event you forgot and by how many days. You can then either delete the event or modify the due date (for example if you obtained a new passport, just set the date to the new passport expiry date)
Categories
Each event can be categorized according to your requirements. There are no built in categories, whenever you add/modify an event, you either select an existing category entered before, or add a new category on the add/edit screen. The categories you enter can then be used to filter the main lists pages for display or for e-mailing specific category events to a friend.
Notes
For each event you can enter an unlimited amount of notes (physical device memory allowing), which will be displayed in a scrollable yellow sticky style note on the event details screen.
For annual events and days gone, a milestone counter is automatically added to the notes view so you can see the dates for each 1000 days since start. For annual events, on option on the edit screen allows you to show the total days old included as the first line of the notes entry.
iCloud Sync
days can keep all your events in sync across your iOS devices using Apple’s iCloud service. A database synching service is provided, so only actual changes are transferred across devices, rather than the whole database being transferred.
E-Mail days Information
Great for sharing, printing, transferring, or backing up your days info. Just entered your favorite sports team’s game schedules for the next season, e-mail just that category to a friend.
Send attractively formatted HTML e-mail body and/or attachment files of plain tab delimited text, which can be easily read and imported by most desktop applications.
The e-mail will be sent respecting current sorting mode and filtering settings for each tab.
E-Mail Backup /Restore (Share)
An events file can be sent from the app to be opened by anyone with the days app for importing. The events can be selected individually for sending, and the receiver can also select which events are to be imported. To speed the sending of data, you can first filter items, and select which date types to send (i.e. annual/days gone/days to go). This function is great for sharing appointments and schedules between your friends, family, colleagues, or whoever.
In case of accidental Replace/Merge, a restore feature is available which will restore the event data to before the last Replace/Merge operation performed.
Date Calculator
The date calculator allows you to calculate the timespan between any two dates (using the date picker view) or add date units to a base date to find a new date (using the Units picker view).
Password Protection
If you don’t want prying eyes looking at your days information, you can password lock the app. This will require you to enter your password to open the app.
Preferences
Use this screen to set the time for alerts to go off, and you can set the symbols used for years/months/days (y/m/d) in the main lists (for localization reasons or to not use some or all of them), and you can also opt to use the compact date format if you prefer. You can also set wether the main lists show the count down in actual days or show a date span.
Search
A separate search screen is also available to search for entries across all main lists. The search results view allows you to fully edit and delete the events.
