The Barfday Tracker app is a simple utility for your phone or tablet that you can use to keep track of barfdays. You can receive notifications when celebration dates are approaching and even share the information with other users of the app. The app does not rely on servers or collect any usage data. In fact, the app never touches the internet. The closest it gets is if you decide to share a QR code image, which is handled by the app you’re sharing it with.

"Barfdata" is the term we use to talk about all the names and dates stored within the app. Enter barfday resets through the Home or Manage pages. The app saves the dates and does the math to tell you how many days remain until the next barfday, how many days since the last reset, and what the longest streak has been.

There are many ways to track barfdays, but using the official Barfday Tracker app lets you easily share your dates with other users. Use the Share page to generate a QR code and send your barfdata with friends and family. Save the image to email, print, share on social media, or just keep it as a data backup. I hear you, "QR codes are SO annoying." Believe me, I get it. But here they’re doing something that would be tedious to do otherwise, and it’s actually pretty fun.

This (hopefully) isn't an app you'll use frequently. Ideally you could go years without needing to open it. If you enable them, notifications will alert you when barfdays are approaching. With options for four weeks, one week, one day, and the day of, you can get plenty of warning to send a barfday card, plan a party. or to just be extra careful. Check the Settings page in the app for all the options (and make sure your phone settings are correct too!).
