A digital birthday calendar that actually reminds you
Most birthday calendars just show you the dates. Birthday Reminder organizes every birthday in one place, reminds you before it arrives, and helps you send a greeting — all from a calendar that syncs everywhere you already look.
Free on web, iOS, and Android. No ads, no paid tier.

A calendar you have to remember to check isn't a
reminder system
Printable templates, PDF calendars, and static year-view apps all have the same gap: you still have to think to look. Birthday Reminder is a digital birthday calendar that comes to you instead — through push, email, SMS/WhatsApp, or a home-screen widget — so nothing depends on you remembering to open an app.
Everything a digital birthday calendar should do
Synced to the calendar you already use, with every date in one place and the reminders a calendar can't send on its own.
Subscribe once, stays current
Syncs to the calendar you already use
Subscribe to your birthday calendar in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook, and it stays in sync as you add, edit, or remove people — no separate app to check.
- One-tap subscribe from any of the three major calendar apps
- Updates automatically, no manual re-import
- Works alongside your existing personal and work calendar
It comes to you
Reminders your calendar can't send on its own
A calendar shows you a date. Birthday Reminder also tells you before it arrives, on the channel you prefer, at the time you choose, in your own timezone.
- Push, email, SMS/WhatsApp, or an in-app feed
- Multiple lead times per person (7 days before, on the day, or both)
- Reminders re-anchor automatically when you travel

From reminder to greeting, in one tap
When a birthday arrives, the reminder opens your messaging app with a friendly, editable message ready to send.
- Pre-filled template: “Happy birthday, [Name]! 🎉”
- You always review and send it yourself — never auto-sent
- Mark as done or snooze right from the reminder

Frequently asked questions
Everything about digital birthday calendars, syncing them to Apple, Google, or Outlook, and getting reminded before the date.
What is a digital birthday calendar?
A digital birthday calendar is an app or synced calendar that stores everyone's birthdays in one place and shows them automatically, instead of requiring a printed template or manual spreadsheet. Birthday Reminder also adds automatic reminders and a one-tap way to send a greeting.
How is an electronic birthday calendar different from a paper one?
An electronic birthday calendar updates itself, sorts dates automatically, and can send reminders through push, email, or SMS/WhatsApp — something a printed or PDF calendar can't do on its own.
Can I sync a birthday calendar app with Google or Apple Calendar?
Yes. Birthday Reminder lets you subscribe to your birthday calendar in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook, and it stays in sync as you make changes.
Is there a birthday reminder calendar that notifies me before the date?
Yes. You can set a lead time — for example, 7 days before and on the day — and choose which channel (push, email, SMS/WhatsApp) sends the reminder.
Can a birthday calendar app track anniversaries and pets too?
Yes. Birthday Reminder handles birthdays, anniversaries, pets, and any custom event, each with its own independent reminders.
Can my family share the same birthday calendar?
Yes. Shared lists let family members add and manage birthdays together, while each person keeps their own reminder preferences.
Is Birthday Reminder free to use as a digital birthday calendar?
Yes. It's free on web, iOS, and Android, with no ads and no paid tier.
