7 best anniversary apps in 2026
The best anniversary app for most people is one that reminds you early and costs nothing to keep using. LoveKeeper is our top pick on those grounds: it is free with no in-app purchases, and only one of you needs it. Choose Between or Paired instead if you want an app you both use every day.
LoveKeeper is our own app. The other details come from each app's official store listing.

LoveKeeper: best for never forgetting a date
Add your dates, choose reminders from 30 days ahead to the day itself, and optionally get an email as well. It also has a photo journal and a bucket list, and keeps them on your phone. It has no chat, no sync between two phones and no home screen widget yet. It is also new, with few store ratings so far. More about LoveKeeper.
Google Calendar: best if you only want a nudge
A repeating yearly event with a notification is free and already on most phones. You get no memories and no day counts, but it may be all you need.
Between: best for a private space for two
A messenger for couples with a shared calendar, photos and automatic countdowns to special days. The free version shows ads. Between Plus costs $13.99 a year or $26.99 once, according to its App Store listing. Compare Between and LoveKeeper.
Cupla: best for planning life together
A shared calendar that shows both schedules, syncs with Apple, Google and Outlook, and includes key dates with countdowns. It is the stronger choice if you mostly want to coordinate your weeks.
Paired: best for conversations
Daily questions, quizzes and games, with a place for important dates. Reminders are a side feature here, and Paired Premium is a subscription.
Couple Widget: best for a home screen counter
A real-time days-together counter in a photo widget, with reminders for special days and a shared diary. If a widget is what you want most, it does what LoveKeeper cannot do yet.
My Love: best for a simple counter
A long-standing iPhone counter with very many ratings. It marks unusual dates such as day 333. The home screen widget needs My Love Pro, and the app's last App Store update was in May 2023. Compare My Love and LoveKeeper.
Try the free one first
It takes a few taps to add your first date, and there is nothing to cancel later.
Free on iPhone, iPad and Android. No subscription and no in-app purchases.
