BeeDay keeps the people you care about close — their birthdays, and everything else worth remembering. Free, ad-free, and no limit on how many people you add. Add someone and BeeDay counts down to their birthday, right on your home and lock screen. It speaks both the everyday calendar and the Chinese lunar calendar, so a grandparent's lunar birthday lands on the right day, year after year. Open a person and you'll find their comb. The first cell holds their birthday. The rest hold whatever you like: a wedding anniversary, the day you met, the day the dog came home, how they take their coffee, the shoe size you keep forgetting. Cells with a date get the same quiet reminders birthdays do, lunar included. Holidays, if you want them. Pick the regions your people live in and BeeDay marks the big days the same quiet way — Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn, Thanksgiving, Boxing Day, thirty of them in all. Leave it alone and none of them show up. Share a link and friends fill in their own birthday, plus one thing about themselves. When they do, BeeDay tells you, and you tap to add them. Everything syncs privately through your own iCloud and stays on your devices. Free and generous • No ads, not one • Unlimited people • Anniversaries and notes for everyone • Home and lock screen widgets • An Apple Watch app — the comb on your wrist • Friend self-fill links • A hand-drawn card to send, on the day • Holidays from the regions you choose • Private iCloud sync • Import from Contacts in a tap Calm by design • Quiet, well-timed reminders • Solar and lunar dates side by side • One clean list, sorted by what's next • Drag the cells into whatever order feels right • Ask Siri when someone's birthday is, or to open them • A star sign on every solar birthday, if you tap it BeeDay is part of the Bee family of small, honest apps — made to do one thing well: help you show up for the people you love.
