Illustrative example. The dates and amounts below are provided for practice.
Illustrative scenario. Jules wants to call Ari on July 9 and mail a card to Morgan for July 15. Their birth years are unknown and are unnecessary for either task.
Make the actions visible
- Create two yearly Birthday records and enter their months and days.
- Add “Call after work” to Ari’s notes and “Mail a card” to Morgan’s notes.
- Set one day of notice for Ari and seven for Morgan.
- Open the tracker on July 8 and search by name when editing either record.
Check the result
On July 8, 2027, Ari’s birthday is one elapsed day away and Morgan’s is seven elapsed days away. Counting July 8 as Day 1 would place them on Day 2 and Day 8. Both reminder windows are open on the reference date. The tracker's live countdown uses today's local date, so these figures describe July 8 rather than the date you read this page. The different lead times turn two distant-looking dates into two actions for the same day.
FAQ
Can Jules see their ages?
Age requires a birth year. The countdown can use just the month and day.
