What is birthdayBook?
birthdayBook is a native macOS productivity app for keeping track of birthdays, anniversaries, and other repeating personal events. It helps users collect important dates, view upcoming occasions within a chosen time range, and receive reminders before those events arrive. The app integrates with Apple Contacts and Calendar to make it easier to import existing dates and work with them inside a familiar Mac workflow. Users can customize reminder presentation, create printable birthday calendars, and organize recurring events beyond standard birthdays. It is aimed at people who want a dedicated birthday and anniversary manager on Mac rather than relying only on general calendar tools. birthdayBook is published by Rob DuToit.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
birthdayBook is a standard personal reminder app for macOS. Access to your contacts or calendars is normal for its purpose if you use its import and integration features. The main privacy consideration is that event details such as names, birthdays, and anniversaries can be stored in the app or synchronized through the Apple apps you choose to connect. Grant only the permissions you want it to use, and remove those permissions later in macOS settings if you stop using those features.
Recommendation: Keep birthdayBook if you actively use it to manage personal dates and reminders on your Mac. If you no longer rely on it, you can remove it without affecting macOS, though you may want to export or back up any event data you want to keep first.
