The core idea for the app was to make it behave as if it was part of iOS. Like how iOS creates a "Birthdays" calendar when you add a birthday to a contact, and then shows a reminder on the day (or before). 🎂📆 (1/4) #BuildInPublic #Dev #IndieDev #iOS #iOSDev #Swift #App #AppDev #AnniversaryReminder

Interesting concept! What specific features are you adding to enhance the iOS integration? Have you encountered any challenges replicating that native feel?

The main thing is that it relies on the Contacts data as a source of truth - so it keeps the data in the system. And also, having everything happen privately on-device. To make it feel native, I'm trying to rely on native SwiftUI controls - making the look fit in with the OS.
