Never forget a birthday or anniversary again. Cake Day syncs with your phone contacts to find birthdays and anniversaries, then sends you smart reminders so you're always prepared. No account needed -- your data stays on your phone. WHAT MAKES CAKE DAY DIFFERENT Unlike other birthday reminder apps, Cake Day handles the real-world complexity of dates that matter: - Shared anniversaries let you track events involving multiple people -- wedding anniversaries, friendship milestones, or any date that belongs to a group. - Discontinued events for when life changes.

Free means free. - Privacy first. No account, no cloud, no tracking. All your data stays on your device. Even greeting cards encode personal data in the link, so nothing is stored on our servers.
