Birthdays vs GridCal

Forgot another birthday? With this birthdays app, it won't happen again. The app is your simple birthday reminder with flexible notifications – 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 – Enter a name and birthday, done. All birthdays stay neatly organized in one list. - Flexible reminders per birthday – 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 – 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 – 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 – 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?

Most calendar apps open on a day or a week. GridCal opens on the month — the whole month, first. On Apple Watch, the full month grid fills the screen. Turn the Digital Crown to move month by month, swipe up or down to change months, swipe sideways to jump a year, and tap any date to see that day's events. A circular complication shows today's date inside a ring that fills as the month goes by. On iPhone, pick the view that fits how you plan: • 1+ — one big month, wall-calendar style, with holiday names right in the cells • 1 — one month plus a detail panel for the day you tap • 2 — two months side by side • 3 — three months at a glance Swipe to move one month at a time, in every view. Your calendar events appear right on the grid — a dot under days that have something on, and a full list when you tap a date. Holidays for 16 countries are built in — no downloads, no subscriptions. Choose the countries you care about in Settings, and their holidays show in red with their names: United States, South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, and India. Holiday data covers 2025–2032. GridCal follows your device's language and your region's first day of the week, automatically. No account. No ads. No tracking. Your events never leave your device.
