Birthday Widget

This is a simple birthday reminder app with a few extra features. It includes a widget that displays a confetti emoji on birthdays and a smile on other days. The widget is compatible with macOS. Additionally, it interacts with watchOS and CarPlay and functions as a remote for radio playback. Support information can be found in the help section within the app settings. All third-party frameworks are properly verified with their respective developers, and all artwork is fully licensed. I’m building this app as a personal hobby — not seeking attention, but motivated by a desire to understand and stay current with technology.
