Add dates in seconds, set reminders, get message ideas, and see what’s coming—all in one simple app. Add and organize every type of event Create events for Birthday, Name Day, Anniversary, or Other. For each one you set the name, day, and month; you can add the year (e.g. for “Turning 30 this year”), notes, and a short description (e.g. “Anniversary”, “Pet’s birthday”). Everything is stored in one list and sorted by the next occurrence, so you always see what’s soonest. Reminders that work the way you want Choose when you want to be reminded: on the day, 1 day before, 3 days before, 1 week before, or 2 weeks before. You can also set a custom “X days before” reminder. For each event you pick a notification time (e.g. morning or evening). Optionally add a custom reminder message (e.g. “Buy a gift”, “Call them”, “Send a card”) so the notification tells you exactly what to do. Notifications are rescheduled when you open the app, so they stay accurate. Message ideas for every occasion Not sure what to write ? BdayMate offers message ideas for each event type. For birthdays you get casual (with or without emojis), family-oriented, and more formal options. Same for name days, anniversaries, and other occasions. Use them as-is, copy and paste, or adapt them.
