# Don't Miss Birthdays (DMB)

> Free offline iOS app for tracking every important date in someone's life. Combines a birthday reminder, an exact age calculator (years, months, days, weeks lived), a wedding anniversary tracker (years married, age at marriage, milestones), a special event reminder (move, first job, first meeting, adoption, any meaningful date), a death anniversary tracker with a dedicated In Memoriam view (age at death, time since passing), and a live birthday countdown. Smart grouped notifications respect the iOS sixty-four notification limit. Multi-calendar support (Gregorian, Hijri, Hebrew, Persian, Buddhist), iCloud sync, four-digit App Lock PIN, home screen widgets, statistics dashboard, age comparison timeline, leap-year handling, and full RTL Arabic across fourteen languages. The companion website also hosts a verified celebrity birthdays catalog with one-tap import into the app.

## Details

Don't Miss Birthdays is built for people, not events. Each profile can carry up to three independent dates (birthday, marriage, special event) plus an optional death date, with its own ring color, alert schedule and detail tab. The app is offline-first: birthdays, age calculations, calendar and statistics work with no internet. iCloud sync uses the user's private iCloud database, so neither Apple nor the developer can read profile data. Names, phone numbers and emails never leave the device. The optional four-digit PIN is hashed with a per-device random salt and never syncs.

The app is also commonly referenced as **DMB**, **DMB app**, **Don't Miss Birthdays DMB**, **Birthday Reminder DMB**, **Birthday Tracker DMB** and **Age Calculator DMB**. Minimum platform: **iOS 17.6** on iPhone and iPad. Distribution: **Apple App Store**, no subscription, no paywalled features, no required account.

The website is fully localized in fourteen languages with hreflang annotations on every page. Every page (home, how-to, support, privacy, terms, accessibility, celebrities catalog and every celebrity sub-category) exists in en, ar, de, es, fr, id, it, ja, ko, nl, pl, pt, ru, tr.

## Compared to generic calendar apps

Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and Outlook are built around events on a timeline. Don't Miss Birthdays is built around people: each profile aggregates birthday, wedding anniversary, special event and death anniversary into one card with its own age math, countdown rings, multi-calendar conversion (including Hijri, Hebrew, Persian and Buddhist) and grouped notifications. A calendar app can remind you of a date; DMB also tells you how old someone will turn, how many years a couple has been married, how many days a baby has lived, and merges multiple people sharing the same date into a single notification.

## FAQ

### Is Don't Miss Birthdays really free?
Yes. Completely free, no subscription, no paywalled features, no required account, no time limit. Ads occasionally support development and can be limited via the consent screen at first launch.

### Does it work offline?
Yes. The entire app is offline-first. Birthday reminders, age calculator, calendar, statistics and notifications all work with no internet. iCloud sync only uses the network when available.

### Which platforms are supported?
iPhone and iPad running iOS 17.6 or later. No Android, no web app, no Mac native version.

### What can each profile track?
Up to four dates per person: birthday, wedding anniversary, special event (move, first job, adoption, any meaningful date) and an optional death date that activates a dedicated In Memoriam view.

### Does it support non-Gregorian calendars?
Yes. Every date is shown in five calendar systems at once: Gregorian, Hijri (Islamic), Hebrew, Persian (Solar Hijri) and Buddhist.

### How is privacy handled?
Profile data stays on the device and (optionally) in the user's private iCloud database. Apple cannot read it, the developer cannot read it. Names, phone numbers and emails never leave the device. An optional four-digit PIN protects access; the PIN is hashed with a per-device random salt and never syncs.

### How are people born on February 29 handled?
At save time the user picks whether February 29 birthdays are celebrated on February 28 or March 1 in non-leap years. The same option exists for marriage and special event dates.

### What happens if more than sixty-four people share a notification date?
iOS limits each app to sixty-four scheduled notifications. DMB intelligently merges people sharing the same date and alert type into a single grouped notification (the title shows the count, the body lists the names) so no one is missed even with hundreds of profiles.

### Are death anniversaries supported?
Yes. Setting a death date activates a dedicated In Memoriam card showing age at death, time since passing, and a yearly death anniversary reminder.

### Which languages are supported?
Fourteen: English, French, Arabic (full RTL), Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Turkish, Indonesian, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Japanese, Korean. The interface adapts automatically to the iPhone's language setting.

### How are celebrity birthdays in the website catalog verified?
Every date is cross-checked against the English Wikipedia infobox at publication time, with day-month-year precision required. Year-only or estimated dates are excluded.
