Family → Celebrations. Grandma's 70th, Mia's birthday, your anniversary: nobody remembers them the day before any more, and the presents are sorted out together — in secret.

Family → Celebrations
The soonest first, with the age and how many days are left; open one for its gift ideas

Adding a celebration

+ at the bottom right of Celebrations — anyone in the family can add one.

Add a celebration
What it is, whose it is, and the date
  • What it is: Birthday, Name day, Anniversary or Other (with what: "Last day of school").
  • Whose: someone in the family, or Someone else with a name — grandma, a cousin, a friend.
  • Date: day and month. The year is optional — with it, a birthday shows the age ("turns 10") and the reminder says it.

The list is sorted by what comes next. Tap a celebration to open it; Edit changes it (the person who added it, or a parent).

Reminders

A week before and the day before, everyone in the family gets a notification: "🎂 Mia · 10 — In a week, gift ideas in the app". Except the person it's about: it's their surprise. Reminders come in the morning and never in quiet hours.

Gift ideas — a secret

Open a celebration to see its gift ideas:

  • + Gift idea adds one; the name beside it says whose idea it was.
  • Tick an idea when it's bought, so nobody buys it twice. ✕ removes an idea.
  • For someone in the family, 🎁 Mia's wishes → opens their wish list.
The birthday person's view
Mia sees only her own ideas — not the others', and not what's bought

The person it's about sees only the ideas they gave themselves — "+ What would you like?" — never the others' ideas or what's been bought. The app's server hides them, so it stays a surprise even on their phone.

Questions

Can children add a celebration? Yes — a child can add their friend's birthday. Only they and the parents can change it.

Why don't I get a reminder for my own birthday? On purpose: the others are preparing a surprise.
