Contact birthdays & anniversaries

The birthdays and anniversaries you've saved in your contacts can show up right on your calendar, so you get a nudge before the day arrives and never miss one.

Turn it on

In Settings:

  • Contact Birthdays: Show birthdays from your phone contacts as all-day calendar events.
  • Contact Anniversaries: Show anniversaries from your phone contacts as all-day calendar events.

Both need Contacts permission, since KashCal reads the dates from your device contacts:

Reads from your device contacts. Requires Contacts permission.

What you get

  • Birthdays and anniversaries appear as yearly, all-day events that repeat every year.
  • They live in their own Birthdays and Anniversaries calendars, shown under the Contacts section of the navigation drawer.
  • Event titles read naturally, like "Sam's Birthday", and include the age or number of years when the contact's year is known.

Reminders

You can set a default reminder for birthdays and anniversaries in Settings, so you get a heads-up before each one.

note

These calendars are read from your contacts and are shown read-only in KashCal. To change a birthday, edit the contact.
