Describe the app to Appaca
Tell Appaca: "Build a birthday reminder app with contacts (name, relationship, birthday), gift ideas linked to each contact, a dashboard showing upcoming birthdays in the next 30 days, and notes for each person."

Enter your contacts
Add everyone you want to track with their birthday date. The app will automatically sort and surface who has an upcoming birthday.

Add gift ideas and notes
For each person, add notes about their interests, past gifts you have given, and future gift ideas. This context is invaluable when you are shopping last-minute.

Set your reminder window
Tell Appaca to show birthdays happening in the next 7, 14, or 30 days prominently on the dashboard. Customize the window based on how early you like to prepare.

Review regularly
Check the dashboard weekly to stay ahead of upcoming dates. The app keeps a history of past entries so you can see how you marked each birthday.
