Our family has a bunch of people whose birthdays we need to keep track of. Those birthdays matter to everyone, so we would like to have one shared birthday calendar. The calendar should come with an android app that at least sends reminder notifications about birthdays.

What selfhosted solution are you using for this? What can you recommend?

HomeAssistant has a calendar built in

Can likely rig it up to notify of events under whatever parameters you want via push notifications

There are a multitude of calendar apps, tho I know of none specifically for birthdays exclusively.

Those are the ones I know of that have an Android capable app. There may be others. Maybe others here will chime in with some options.

I use Nextcloud to host my calanders. With caldav (what nextcloud uses under the hood), reminders are handled by the client. I use Apple’s Reminders app on my phone and Thunderbird on my laptop.

Nextcloud does have a built in calandering app, but I’ve not used it much. I think it can do email notifications of calander events.

There’s nothing to host.

Create an iCal file and import it into your calendar application on your phone.
