Bdays is a desktop application that lets you manage a number of birthdays comprehensively. You can let Bdays scan a picture and clip out usable faces, which will be used as the faces of personal profiles. Use Bdays to easily find out how old the selected person is and in how many days the birthday of the selected person arrives. Also, let Bdays figure out who is having a birthday within X days where you specify X between 1 and 100.
