Re:Days stores your records in your own calendar and collects no personal data. It never copies or modifies your photos. See the Privacy Policy for details.

What Re:Days writes to your calendar

Re:Days creates a dedicated calendar named “Re:Days” in the Calendar app and saves each record there as an ordinary event. It never writes to your other calendars.

You can open and read the events directly in the Calendar app. The title, date and time, location and notes can be edited there, and Re:Days picks up the changes. There is one field to leave alone:

URL field: it holds a link starting with redays://. This is what the “Open” button in Calendar uses to show the photos, and it is the only place that remembers which photos belong to the record. If it is deleted or changed, the photos can no longer be opened from that record.

If you share the “Re:Days” calendar with your family through iCloud, the same records appear in their calendars. Sharing is set up in the Calendar app.

Troubleshooting

Re:Days doesn’t appear in the share sheet: in the Photos share sheet, scroll the row of apps to the right, tap “More” and turn on Re:Days. You can also record photos from the “+” button on the Re:Days home screen.

You chose “Limited Access” for Photos: Re:Days needs Full Access to find the shared photos in your library. It does not work with Limited Access. Go to Settings > Apps > Re:Days > Photos, choose “Full Access”, and share again.

“This record can’t be added yet”: this appears when Calendar access was declined. Full Access is needed to create the dedicated calendar. Go to Settings > Apps > Re:Days > Calendars, choose “Full Access”, and share again.

The share sheet takes a long time to open: when the photos are only in iCloud and not on the device, the Photos app downloads the originals first. Sharing many photos for the first time can take close to a minute. This happens in the Photos app; sharing the same photos a second time is immediate.

“Open” shows “Photo not available”: this appears when that photo is not in this device’s library — it was deleted, or the record was made on another device and iCloud Photos is off here. The other photos are shown as usual.

“Open” shows the photos but no title or notes: when the event was deleted in the Calendar app, or has not synced from iCloud yet, only the linked photos are shown, with their capture date. If it is still syncing, wait a moment and tap “Open” again.

“The record could not be found”: the event of the record you tried to edit or add photos to has been deleted in the Calendar app.

There are two “Re:Days” calendars: this can happen when you start on two devices at the same time, or when a family member shares their “Re:Days” calendar with you. The next time you add a record, Re:Days asks which one to use (if this device has not settled on one yet); pick the one that holds your records. The choice is remembered on this device. If the other is empty, you can delete it in the Calendar app.

Reinstalling: your records live in your calendar, so deleting and reinstalling Re:Days keeps them. After reinstalling you may be asked for the Photos and Calendar permissions again. Re:Days looks for the calendar named “Re:Days” and keeps using it.

Removing all records: delete the “Re:Days” calendar in the Calendar app. Your photos and other events are not affected.

Re:Days Pro

The free version holds up to 5 photos per record; Re:Days Pro holds up to 100. It is a one-time purchase with no further payments.

Purchased, but still on the free version: open “About Re:Days” from the top right of the Re:Days home screen and tap “Restore Purchase” under “Re:Days Pro”. Do the same after switching to a new device or receiving the purchase through Family Sharing. For Family Sharing to apply, the buyer’s Apple Account must have “Share Purchases” turned on in Family Sharing.
