Remember, and act.
The free way to never miss a birthday and actually do something about it. Store the dates that matter, get reminded in time, and send a greeting in one tap.
Free on web, iOS, and Android. No ads, no paid tier.
Most apps stop at remembering. The point is to
do something before the moment passes.
A reminder that arrives at the right time, in your timezone, with the person's name and age, plus a one-tap way to send the message. That's the whole idea.
Everything you need to never forget
Built around one idea, counting down to a date for someone you care about, and nothing that gets in the way.
Reminders that reach you
On every channel, at the right local time
Push, email, SMS/WhatsApp, and an in-app feed: pick any combination, globally or per person. Reminders fire at the time you choose in your own timezone, and re-anchor automatically when you travel. Set them days ahead, on the day, or both.
- Multiple lead times per event (7 days before and on the day)
- WhatsApp/SMS with a fair-use cap, then it falls back to push & email
- A persistent in-app feed so nothing ever gets lost
Act in one tap
Send a greeting before the moment passes
On the day, if you have their number, the reminder opens your messaging app with a friendly, editable message ready to go. You always review and send it yourself, never auto-sent.
- Pre-filled, editable template: “Happy birthday, [Name]! 🎉”
- Opens your own WhatsApp or SMS, addressed to them
- Mark as done or snooze right from the reminder
It's Michael's birthday today, he turns 29.

Always in view
A home-screen widget for the next 3
Keep the next three birthdays and events one glance away. The widget updates itself as the days pass, and tapping a name jumps straight to their profile.
- Name, date, and days remaining at a glance
- Updates on its own, no need to open the app
- Tap a person to open their profile

Frequently asked questions
Reminders, shared lists, and what happens on the day itself.
What is a birthday reminder app?
It's somewhere to keep the dates you'd rather not forget, with something that tells you before each one arrives. Birthday Reminders holds birthdays, anniversaries, pets, and any date you want to name, sends a reminder ahead of time, and on the day opens your messages with a greeting ready to send.
How does a birthday app help me manage birthdays and other occasions?
It takes the dates out of your head and puts them somewhere that can reach you. Add people once — or import them from your contacts in a single pass — and every year after that, the reminder comes to you instead of you having to go and check.
What is a shared family calendar for birthdays?
One list of the family's dates that everyone can see and add to. It stops the whole thing resting on the one relative who happens to remember everybody, and each person still picks how they'd like to be reminded.
Can I get SMS birthday reminders?
Yes, along with WhatsApp, push, email, and an in-app feed. SMS and WhatsApp have a monthly fair-use cap, since every message costs real money to send; past the cap, the reminder still reaches you by push and email.
Can I use it as an anniversary reminder?
Yes. Anniversaries, pets, and custom dates behave like birthdays and get their own reminder settings. The one difference is age, which only shows on birthdays.
What is a group birthday tracker?
A shared list for a family, a friend group, or a team. Anyone in it can add and edit dates, everyone sees the same list, and reminders go to each member individually rather than to one organizer who then has to tell everyone else.
What should I look for in a birthday reminder app?
Three things, really: whether the reminder arrives somewhere you'll actually see it, whether other people can share the list, and what happens when you pass the free contact limit. The rest is detail.
How do I make sure I never miss a birthday again?
Get the dates out of your memory and into something that can interrupt you, then set the reminder earlier than feels necessary — a week is usually right, because it leaves time to post something. After that, the only job left is answering the notification.
