BdayMinder vs Bento

Never miss a birthday (or anniversary) again. Birthday Reminders is the simplest, most private way to track the people you care about. It pulls birthdays straight from Contacts, no manual entry. Each Monday you get a gentle weekly summary; on the day, you get a 9 AM reminder so you can celebrate on time. Children + anniversaries: Add kids and anniversaries that aren’t in Contacts under their parents, so every family date is covered. Attach notes for gift ideas and context. Apple Watch + widgets: See upcoming birthdays on your wrist with complications, and add Home Screen widgets for fast at-a-glance access. Privacy-first: No cloud sync, no tracking, no ads. Everything stays on your devices, fully offline. Highlights: - Automatic import from Contacts - Kids + anniversaries under parents - Weekly Monday reminders - 2-week heads-up (configurable) to buy gifts - Day-of reminders at 9 AM - Notes for gift ideas - Apple Watch app with complications - iPhone Home Screen + Watch widgets - 100% on-device: no cloud, no tracking, no ads - Backup (export and import your local data)

Bento is a local-first box for the things worth keeping: recipes, links, screenshots, voice notes, PDFs, and places. Stored on your device, fully searchable, no account required. Capture from one simple app. Bento automatically types each save and organizes your library around boxes and the context that matters to you. Use Bento to: • Capture recipes, documents, voice memos, photos, and places • Drop in links, URLs, and copied text quickly • Organize into boxes, then sort and filter by type • Search across everything, including text inside screenshots • Keep private items locked behind Face ID or hidden entirely • Add your own notes without losing the original source Bento is built for personal knowledge, not feeds, followers, or noise. Keep what matters without turning your saved content into another inbox.
