Birthdays
What this module is for
Birthdays keeps recurring personal dates visible without asking the household to rebuild them manually every year. It is a focused module for remembering people, ages and reminders, while still fitting into the wider shared calendar flow.
What people usually do here
- Add birthdays for family, friends and other important contacts.
- Review upcoming birthdays and current ages.
- Set reminders ahead of time for gifts, calls or event planning.
- Import birthdays selectively from contact data instead of entering everything by hand.
How it connects to other modules
- Calendar can receive automatic birthday events.
- Contacts can supply contact data that includes birthdays.
- Family helps keep core household member data aligned.
Good to know
- This module is intentionally narrower than Calendar, so it stays good at one recurring job instead of becoming a second event editor.
- Automatic event creation reduces yearly maintenance effort.
- Selective import matters because not every synced contact should necessarily create a visible birthday inside the household calendar.
