I genuinely appreciate Monica, and congrats to the team. However, I've been searching for a native Android app and haven't come across a suitable alternative, as the Monica app has been discontinued.

I'm looking for an app that helps me remember significant dates and details about my acquaintances, provides birthday reminders, and allows me to take notes on them. Does anyone have any recommendations?

At least on iOS you can do all of that with the native contacts app

Yeah, I assumed most such tools do. Is that not the case?

(Amusingly, though, my own "how to keep track of birthdays" solution predates the addition of such fields to address books. When I learned your birthday, I would just put it in my (paper!) calendar, and transfer it annually.

Then when digital calendars happened, I just entered them there. To this day I have a calendar called "Annual Dates" that is comprised entirely of birthdays and other milestones worth keeping up with. Consequently and ironically, I don't use the in-address-book fields. Still.)

i tried an app called fabriq, it is unpolished but definitely works well.
