Seyam Companion
Read full descriptionHide full description
Seyam Companion keeps the recommended (Sunnah) fasts in view, and reminds you the evening before โ while there is still time to plan suhoor. WHAT IT TRACKS โข Mondays and Thursdays, the weekly fasts โข The White Days, the 13th, 14th and 15th of each Hijri month โข The Day of Arafah, 9 Dhul-Hijjah โข Ashura and Tasu'a, 10 and 9 Muharram โข The six days of Shawwal, after Eid al-Fitr A CALENDAR, NOT JUST A LIST See a whole month at a glance and how its fasts fall โ three White Days together, the weekly fasts spaced apart. Tap any day to read what it is and why it is recommended. Prefer a plain list of what is coming next? Switch views with one tap. A REMINDER THE EVENING BEFORE Pick a time that suits you and get one quiet notification the night before each fasting day. Turn any fast on or off โ follow only the White Days, or only the annual occasions, and the reminders follow your choice. ACCURATE HIJRI DATES Every day is matched to the Hijri calendar. Days on which fasting is not permitted โ the two Eids and the days of Tashreeq โ are left out, so the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah never appears as a White Day. ENGLISH AND ARABIC Complete Arabic support, with a right-to-left layout and Arabic-Indic numerals. Switch language at any time. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no ads. Your settings stay on your device, and the calendar keeps working offline once it has loaded.
BDayMap
Read full descriptionHide full description
BDayMap keeps birthdays and reminds you in time. Add your own birthday as day and month only. Add other people with a name, photo, and date. The year is optional. For each person you set reminders: on the day, one day before, three days before, one week before, or a custom number of days, each with a time. The Birthday widget shows one chosen person and a color on the Home Screen. The Upcoming birthdays widget shows the next four. A tap opens the app. The Apple Watch shows the same list, with your own birthday and no photo at the top. iCloud sync is off and stays optional. When you turn it on, birthdays, photos, and reminders stay the same across devices with the same Apple ID. The app has no account of its own. On the Mac you can import birthdays from Contacts, only for contacts that already have a birthday. Name, date, and photo stay on the device. No ads. No purchases. No location. No map.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: BDayMap at 4 against Seyam Companion's 2. Seyam Companion's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
