## What it is
Birday is an open-source Android app written in Kotlin for remembering birthdays and events without relying on Facebook or Google Calendar. It offers a lightweight, beautiful Material Design interface with Room database storage and Google Contacts integration.

## Use cases
- remember birthdays without opening Facebook
- get automatic birthday notifications like Google Calendar doesn't provide
- track events for people not in my contacts
- manage birthdays separately from my calendar
- import birthdays from Google Contacts
- set up a lightweight birthday reminder app on Android

## When to choose
- you want a dedicated, lightweight birthday and event reminder on Android
- you prefer open-source apps without Google or Facebook dependency
- you want automatic day-of notifications for birthdays
- you value a clean Material Design UI with translations in many languages

## When to avoid
