Birday

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

Introduction

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 Google Contacts. Also, adding to much birthdays to the calendar make 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!
