About Recovery Birthdays

For a person in recovery, their Sobriety date, Clean date or Abstinence date is just as important, and often more important than their 'belly button' birthday.

Recovery Birthdays is a contacts manager that syncs easily with your contacts, easily allows you to add and manage your friends recovery birthdays and sends you notifications before and on your friends anniversaries.

Your data never leaves your device. One of the main priorities I had when creating this app was the privacy of the users and their contacts. No data collected. Not third party servers. No sharing of your data with anyone. Recovery Birthdays does not collect information of any kind from its users. Recovery Birthdays stores locally in the app only a contact name, date for an anniversary of the recovery birthday and a single image for the contact. Recovery Birthdays does not store or share your contacts other information such as, phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, contact notes, birthday, job or relations.

When we were drinking and using we had "dropped out". Never sending cards, returning phone calls, being there for other people or taking part in their lives. Only through positive action can we remove the remains of guilt and shame brought on by our disconnection from others. Because of God's grace, we have been given a second chance at life and the opportunity to change the future.

Be a part of the fellowship that is being freely offered to you and take part in others lives by remembering their recovery birthdays! Bring them a cake, write them a card, give them a call or send them a text message. It is only through giving that we truly receive. They will be most grateful you remembered.

*Configure notifications for the day of the recovery anniversary and a day before the anniversary.
*Send an image from the app of a sobriety coin or recovery key-tag on the anniversary. The app contains Clean-Time key tags and Sobriety coins from 24 hours to 60 years.
*Create new contacts or add a recovery anniversary to an existing contact.
*Choose from ‘Sobriety date’, ‘Clean date’ or ‘Abstinence date’ when adding a contact.
*Recovery Birthdays will sync with Contacts automatically for contacts that contact an 'anniversary date' with the label of either ‘Sobriety Date’, ‘Clean Date’ or ‘Abstinence Date’
*Quickly check your recovery birthday clean time and share your contact details from the My Contact Card Tab. Share via text message, QR code or any other method available on your device.
*QR code scanner to quickly add other peoples Recovery Birthdays contact details. Create your QR code from the My Contact Card tab, tap the share option then 'Show QR code' to reveal your personal QR code. To add a person into Recovery Birthdays scan their QR code. Tap the add contact button from the Calendar screen and select 'Scan QR Code'.
*iPhone widgets including Clean Time and Sobriety Chip widgets. A QR Code widget as a way to easily share your recovery birthday with others who have the Recovery Birthdays app installed.

If you have any ideas, feature requests or feedback please let me know via the app support page.

There was a memory issue with some widgets on Apple Watch maybe due to the file size of images stored in core-data for a particular contact or for some other reason, the widget would not display. I have resolved this by only fetching required information when displaying the widget.
