Birthday Counter: Days Until for iPhone and Android

Overview

What it is, in plain words.

Birthday Counter: Days Until shows how many days are left until the next birthday on your Home Screen, on your Lock Screen and in a clear upcoming list. It adds reminders, calendar views, exact age and milestone alerts. According to the store listing, everything stays on your device, with no account, cloud, tracking, ads or subscription.

What is it?

Birthday Counter: Days Until is a birthday countdown app with widgets, per-person reminders and a private birthday calendar.

What problem does it solve?

Birthdays are easy to forget when they live in scattered contacts, calendars and your memory. This app keeps them in one list sorted by what is closest and reminds you at the time you choose, without sending your contacts anywhere.

Privacy and permissions

Private by design.

The app states it collects no data: no account, analytics, ads or tracking, and the privacy page says it contains no networking code. All permissions are optional. Contacts (read-only) are requested only when you start an import, notifications when you save a first reminder, and on Android also exact alarms and run-after-restart so reminders arrive on time and survive a reboot. It does not request camera, photos, location, microphone or calendar access.
