An open source app to remember birthdays and events without having to open Facebook, set alarms or rely on Google Calendar.
This is an open source app to remember birthdays 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 birthdays 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!

There is also a long term support version available, ready to be compiled and used when this repo is messed up by my partial updates. I'm planning to create a separate branch for development and keep the master branch clean and working, but that's a good solution too. Huge thanks to @DominikNovosel for the constant help in the maintenance of this project :) https://github.com/DominikNovosel/Birday-LTS
Birday uses some open source libraries, just a few:
Top contributors (special thanks to them!):

This app was written during my free time as a training. It was first published on May 1, 2020. Many good devs helped me understanding the best practices and they taught me a lot of useful tricks. A special thank to every contributor here and on Reddit. and God bless Stack Overflow.
