Birday

An open source app to remember birthdays and events without having to rely on apps like Facebook or Google Calendar or set alarms manually.

Introduction

This is an open source app to remember

birthdays

and other events in a fast, light and beautiful way. No less, no more. I had this idea considering that Google Calendar doesn't display an automatic notification the day of the birthday, and sometimes I need to remember a birthday for a person who is not in my Contacts. Also, adding too much events to the calendar makes it messy and I prefer to manage them separately. The main focus of this app is being easy to use, clean and lightweight. I'm always glad to add features, but only important and really useful features!
