Have you ever forgotten someone’s birthday or an important anniversary? Or maybe you can’t remember how old someone is or how long you’ve been married.


We’ve all been there. Remainders can help you remember these crucial dates with repeating events. We'll show you how to set up a recurring event in Remainders for yearly, monthly, weekly, or daily events so you’ll never forget the next event. 


Pro-tip, if you backdate an event Remainders, the app will show you how many times it’s occurred in the past.

Repating Event Types

Getting Started

To start, create a new event or edit an existing event. Now it's time to set the repeating frequency for your event. Under the "Repeat" section, tap the “Never" option to reveal a list of repeating frequencies:

  • Every Day

  • Every Week

  • Every Month

  • Every Year


Select the appropriate frequency for your event. For instance, choose "Yearly" for birthdays and anniversaries.
