The export command processes the complete diBirthday list. It automatically uses an editable calendar named diBirthday. If that calendar does not exist, the app creates it and then adds all-day events with titles such as Alex’s Birthday.
Steps
- Review the complete Birthdays list before exporting.
- Open the ••• menu and choose Export Birthdays to Calendar.
- Grant Calendar access if iOS requests it.
- Wait while diBirthday finds or creates the diBirthday calendar.
- If the selected calendar account does not allow a new calendar to be created, choose an existing writable calendar or create one from the fallback screen.
- Review the Export Status message, then open Apple Calendar and check the target calendar.
Before you finish
- Export creates separate Calendar events; it is not a live sync. Run the export again after editing a birthday so diBirthday can update the matching event when its saved identifier is still available.
- The command exports all current birthday records; it does not provide a per-person selection screen.
- diBirthday remembers exported event identifiers and updates matching exports when possible. Do not manually duplicate or move exported events if you plan to export again.
- Gregorian birthdays are exported as yearly recurring events. For supported non-Gregorian dates and preset events, diBirthday exports the next 10 calculated occurrences.
Tips
- Keep the dedicated diBirthday calendar enabled in Apple Calendar if you want the events to remain visible.
- Deleting a birthday in diBirthday does not remove an event that was already exported.
