About Cake Day: Birthday Countdown
Never forget a birthday or anniversary again. Cake Day syncs with your phone contacts to find birthdays and anniversaries, then sends you smart reminders so you're always prepared. No account needed -- your data stays on your phone. WHAT MAKES CAKE DAY DIFFERENT Unlike other birthday reminder apps, Cake Day handles the real-world complexity of dates that matter: - Shared anniversaries let you track events involving multiple people -- wedding anniversaries, friendship milestones, or any date that belongs to a group. - Discontinued events for when life changes. Mark an anniversary as discontinued without losing the history. - Direct messaging with one tap. Send a WhatsApp or Signal message right from the reminder. - No contact limits. Ever. Free means free. - Privacy first. No account, no cloud, no tracking. All your data stays on your device. Even greeting cards encode personal data in the link, so nothing is stored on our servers. FEATURES Dashboard A beautiful timeline of upcoming birthdays and anniversaries with countdown badges. See who's celebrating today, this week, and beyond. Smart Reminders Configurable reminder presets -- get notified days, weeks, or hours before the big day. Create custom presets for different occasions. Shared Anniversaries Track wedding anniversaries, friendship milestones, band anniversaries, and more. Add multiple people to a single event. Calendar View Browse all your events month by month. See the full picture at a glance. Home Screen Widgets Three widget styles keep important dates visible: today's events, this week's events, and the next upcoming birthday. Statistics Discover patterns in your celebrations -- busiest months, milestone birthdays, and more. Contact Groups Organize contacts into groups like Family, Friends, or Colleagues for easier management. Quick Actions Send birthday wishes via WhatsApp, Signal, or text message directly from the app. Backup & Restore Export and import your data. Your reminders are always safe. FREE, PRO & ULTRA Cake Day is free to use with no contact limits and full reminder functionality. Pro (one-time purchase): Unlocks widgets, calendar, statistics, custom presets, custom groups, up to 10 shared events, and more. Ultra (subscription): Everything in Pro plus unlimited shared events, custom icons & colors, greeting cards, and personal messages. Download Cake Day today and never miss another cake day, birthday, or anniversary.

What’s new
Version 1.17.0 · Updated October 6, 2026
- Fixed a crash on launch on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 when there are no upcoming events yet, for example on a fresh install. - Restoring a backup now brings back your app settings, event icons and colours, per-contact message settings (language, closeness, relationship) and links to shared anniversaries, a failed restore no longer leaves data half replaced, and merging the same backup twice no longer duplicates characteristics. - Bug fixes and improvements.
