Never let love arrive late.
Kungratz Private is a warm reminder app for the birthdays, anniversaries and special days that matter, built especially for older adults, and simple enough for everyone.
Remembering, handled with heart
Kungratz Private remembers, so you're free to care.
You add the people and the days that matter, a birthday, an anniversary, a sober date. On the morning of each occasion, Kungratz Private raises a clear reminder, using your phone's own notification sound and respecting silent and Do Not Disturb. Then it opens an empty WhatsApp chat with the right person, so the message that lands is written by you, in your own words, your own voice.
It never sends anything on its own. And everything you create, your contacts, dates, notes and photos, lives on your phone in an encrypted database. There's no account to sign into and no server of ours holding your reminders. Once a day the app writes a small encrypted safety copy to your own Google account, deliberately without names, so a lost or replaced phone does not erase every birthday you have entered.
How Kungratz Private works
Four gentle steps, then it waits quietly until you're needed.
Add a special day
Pick a person and a date, a birthday, an anniversary, a sober milestone. Add a photo, a voice note or a few kind words if you'd like to.
Kungratz Private holds the date
It waits quietly in the background and re-arms itself even after your phone restarts. Your reminders are not sent to us, and there is no account to sign into.
A reminder on the morning
At the time you chose, a clear reminder arrives with your phone's own notification sound. Tap it and the whole occasion opens: who it is, what the day is, your notes and your gift idea, in large calm type. It follows your phone's silent and Do Not Disturb settings, so it never shouts over a hospital visit or a funeral.
You send your own message
Tap once and Kungratz Private opens WhatsApp with the right person, an empty chat, ready for your words, your voice, your warmth. You make the final send.
And when you want to send a gift
Remembering the day is only half of it.
Kungratz Private comes with Find Gifts, our simple gift-buying helper. Type what you have in mind, tap one of your trusted shops, and it opens ready to order and have delivered to the door, with no trip into town. It is far kinder than a walk through the shops, especially later in life.
Made for older hands and eyes
Accessibility isn't an afterthought in Kungratz Private, it's the reason it looks and feels the way it does. Every choice below is grounded in clinical research on how we see, move and remember as we age.
Colours for ageing eyes
A warm cream background with deep navy text and a carefully chosen bright palette, informed by research on cataracts, glaucoma and reduced contrast sensitivity.
Big, bold, readable text
Large bold lettering everywhere, which grows further with your phone's own font-size setting, up to 200%. Never thin, never faint.
Buttons that forgive a tremor
Large, generously spaced, staggered buttons that stay easy to hit with arthritis or a hand tremor, laid out to prevent accidental taps.
Gentle on light-sensitivity
Nothing in the app strobes or flashes. Screens change on slow, smooth transitions, designed to stay well within recognised seizure-safety guidance.
A sound you choose yourself
The reminder uses your phone's own notification sound and vibration, and you choose that sound during setup, so you can pick one you actually hear.
Yours and yours alone
No account, no sign-up, no server of ours. Your reminders live on your phone in an encrypted database, with a small encrypted safety copy in your own Google account so a new phone does not start empty.
See the evidence base behind every choice, condition by condition, with the clinical research and accessibility standards that back it, and the medical case for the app's sensitive permissions. Our shorter Accessibility Statement is in the policies.
Private by design. Honest about ads.
There is no server of ours that holds your reminders and no account to sign into. Kungratz Private runs on your phone. The one copy that leaves is an encrypted safety copy, carried by Android's own backup to your own Google account, which we never receive and cannot read.
To keep it free, the free version shows one advertisement. It is ours, built into the app itself. No advertising network is involved, nothing is downloaded to choose it, no advertising identifier is read, and the app has no ability to determine your location at all. Nothing about you is used to select it.
Your first 30 days are free and completely ad-free. After that you can carry on with the free version, which shows the advertisement, or subscribe for USD 4.99 a month to remove it.
A friendly helper, not a safety system. Kungratz Private is a personal reminder aid, not a medical device, care-monitor or emergency alert. Please don't rely on it for medication, appointments or anything safety-critical. See the Vulnerable User Notice.
