Forgot another birthday? With this birthdays app, it won't happen again. The app is your simple birthday reminder with flexible notifications โ small, fast, and without unnecessary clutter. Save all birthdays in one place and get notified automatically, whenever you want. You decide whether you'd like a reminder days ahead (to buy a gift in time) or just on the birthday itself. Features at a glance - Save birthdays โ Enter a name and birthday, done. All birthdays stay neatly organized in one list. - Flexible reminders per birthday โ Set as many reminders as you want for each birthday. For example: one week ahead (to buy a gift), one day before, and on the birthday itself. You freely choose the time and the number of days before the birthday. A single reminder can also be reused for multiple people. - Contact sync โ Import birthdays directly from your Android contacts. If you later change a birthday in the contact, it updates automatically in the app. You can also export people created in the app to your contacts and activate the sync. Contact sync can be turned off at any time, for individual birthdays or entirely. - CSV import โ Have a list of birthdays in an Excel or CSV file? The flexible import handles different date formats and name orders. Who is this birthdays app for? For anyone looking for a simple, reliable birthday reminder โ without ad overload, without complicated setup. Whether you just want to keep track of your family's birthdays or manage a large circle of friends: this app helps you never forget a birthday again. Questions, feedback, or feature requests?
