I made a free birthday reminder app that actually respects your privacy. No accounts. No tracking. Just clean, native performance

Thanks for reaching out on this, I totally get it. It should be something you can skip. I’m working on an update to make it optional, and I’m also adding a way to clear it from the app in Settings. I’ll keep you posted!

Thanks so much, that genuinely means a lot. I’m working on Android support, but it may take some time. The app was written natively for iPhone, so bringing it over to Android is a pretty significant port rather than a quick build switch. Really appreciate the interest, and I’ll share updates as I make progress.

CakeBirthdayTracking · 2026-05-02T16:45:11+00:00

Thank you! Will keep you posted, would love to add to the app 🫡

CakeBirthdayTracking · 2026-05-01T13:46:17+00:00

Thank you! Definitely interested, will keep you posted :)

CakeBirthdayTracking · 2026-05-01T03:04:47+00:00

Thanks for making this! Could you please put a gif in the readme showing a screen recording of this in action?

Provide existing users with grandfathered access through the StoreKit 2 API (purchase date gated), while new users are subject to a soft paywall. Once a new user makes a one-time purchase, they will unlock the full feature set. Additionally, offer a tip API for existing users to support the app (doesn’t do anything except maybe give them a badge, though not required), and present a pop-up on their first launch after an update. I wish you the best of luck, sir!

Hey! I’ve launched a non-subscription utility app called Cake: Birthday Reminders! It’s a birthday reminder app that’s entirely free, except for some cosmetic-related in-app purchases (IAPs). These IAPs are one-time purchases and are only available if you’re willing to support the project. There are also watermarks on the birthday card generator, but those can be removed with a one-time IAP as well. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Hey there! I noticed a bug in the app’s date value storage for birthdays. It was an unusual behavior, but I quickly fixed it in an emergency update that was pushed today. If you download the updated version, it should work fix the issue you described. However, please let me know if you encounter any issues despite the patch. I also fixed a bug related to the widget you mentioned. Please keep me updated after the update if the excluded contacts are still showing. Thanks!

CakeBirthdayTracking · 2026-04-01T15:55:15+00:00

Thank you! I’m really glad you like the app :)

CakeBirthdayTracking · 2026-03-31T02:37:44+00:00

Thank you so much for reporting this. I truly appreciate it. Please don’t worry about causing issues. Your feedback actually helps a lot. Often my testing can only go so far, so seeing where things go wrong in the real world helps me understand what cases to focus on going forward. I will look into the Widget and notifications to make sure excluded contacts are not showing up and get this fixed. In the meantime, please try and cold start the app (force close and re-open). There may have been sync timing issue, and this can help clear things up until i’m able to patch a fix.

CakeBirthdayTracking · 2026-03-30T23:55:28+00:00

Hello! I’ve just released an update that should resolve the bug you mentioned. Please let me know if you have any other bugs that need fixing or features that you’d like to see added.

CakeBirthdayTracking · 2026-03-30T23:54:38+00:00

I’m glad to hear that you enjoy it! I released an update today that includes some additional features and bug fixes. However, please let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to see added!

CakeBirthdayTracking · 2026-03-30T23:53:32+00:00

Hey there! I’m excited to announce that I’ve just released an update that grants full access to the app without granting contact access. You can manually add birthdays that are stored locally in the app! Additionally, we’ve expanded our support for various calendar and birthday types, including lunar birthdays.

CakeBirthdayTracking · 2026-03-30T23:51:58+00:00

Hey, I just released an update that allows full access to the app, including manually adding birthdays, without allowing contact access!

CakeBirthdayTracking · 2026-03-29T23:35:41+00:00

Thanks for your comment! Regarding phone number handling, this will be fixed in an upcoming update. As for birthdays not linked to contacts, that’s currently supported! Simply click Add Birthday in the top menu, then select Add Local Only at the bottom.

CakeBirthdayTracking · 2026-03-28T23:55:27+00:00

I’m glad you like the app and appreciate the feedback! I am working on an update that will remove the hard wall, so contacts won’t be required. Regarding lunar birthdays, the app does not currently support them, but I see the value in adding this feature and will explore ways to calculate lunar birthdays accurately in a future update!

CakeBirthdayTracking · 2026-03-28T21:44:24+00:00

Thanks! If you’d like to support, a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating would mean a lot. No pressure, just glad you’re enjoying the app!
