I have no idea what I'd do without this app tbh. People are constantly surprised I remember their birthdays and it feels great :)

been using this for over a year and can confidently say it has made my relationships stronger bc I get a text the morning of their birthday and just call the person. Usually the first to wish them a HBD.

One of my favorite apps continues to be birthdays.app by @sam_feldman_. It texts you reminders for your friends' birthdays and that's it. A weekly reminder that simple + useful to you is a magical product combo.

Most useful single-purpose app in my life: Birthdays.app. They text me reminders to text my friends on their birthdays. Allowed me to delete Facebook years ago.

I almost never pay for apps. But @birthdays_app_ is by far the best single-use app ever and has helped me keep in touch with friends and family by remembering a simple date.

Frequently asked questions

I'd rather wake up to a text that says "Happy birthday to ____!" than check my calendar app to see a friend's birthday next to random events.
