Tap Save to create the profile. The person will appear on your Home screen with the days remaining until their next birthday.

How do I edit or delete a profile?

Tap on any profile card to open the detail view. From there, you can edit the name, dates, gender, or photo. You can also delete the profile. On the Home screen, swipe left on a profile card to quickly delete it.

What information can I track for each person?

For each profile, you can store: first name, last name, date of birth, gender, marriage date (optional), and a photo (optional). The app automatically calculates their current age, days until next birthday, and marriage anniversary details.

How do notifications work?

Go to Settings > Alerts to configure when you want to be notified. You can choose to receive reminders on the day of the event, days before, weeks before, or a month before. The app schedules local notifications through iOS. Make sure notifications are enabled in iOS Settings > Notifications > Don't Miss Birthdays.

What is the notification limit?

iOS allows a maximum of 64 scheduled local notifications per app. The Statistics section on the Home screen shows your current notification quota usage. If you have many profiles with multiple notification timings enabled, you may approach this limit. Consider reducing the number of notification timings per event if needed.

I'm not receiving notifications. What should I do?

Check the following:

• Make sure notifications are enabled in iOS Settings > Notifications > Don't Miss Birthdays
• Check that alerts are configured in the app's Settings > Alerts
• Ensure Do Not Disturb or Focus mode is not blocking notifications
• Check your notification quota in the Statistics section
• Restart the app if notifications were recently configured

How does the calendar view work?

What do the statistics show?

The Statistics section on the Home screen displays: total number of profiles, monthly event counts, gender breakdown, age range distribution, and notification quota usage. All calculations are done on-device.
