One family birthday calendar, everyone can add to it
Physical boards and printables only work if someone updates them. Birthday Reminder is a shared family birthday calendar that stays current on its own — anyone in the family can add a date, and everyone gets reminded in time.
Free on web, iOS, and Android. No ads, no paid tier.
A wall board only works if someone
remembers to update it
Wooden boards, printables, and personalized wall calendars look nice, but they depend on one person keeping them current, and no one gets reminded unless they happen to walk past it. Birthday Reminder replaces that with a calendar the whole family can edit together, that sends reminders automatically instead of waiting to be noticed.
Everything a family birthday calendar should do
One list the whole family can edit, with reminders that reach each person the way they prefer.
Everyone keeps it current
A calendar the whole family can edit
Invite family members to the same list. Anyone can add a birthday, anniversary, or event, so it never depends on one person keeping it updated.
- Multiple family members can add and edit
- Everyone sees the same up-to-date list
- Each person keeps their own reminder settings
Each person, their way
Reminders for every family member, their way
Each family member can choose their own reminder channel and lead time, so nobody has to check a shared board to know what's coming up.
- Push, email, SMS/WhatsApp, or an in-app feed
- Multiple lead times per person (7 days before, on the day, or both)
- Reminders arrive at each person's own timezone
It's Michael's birthday today, he turns 29.

A home-screen widget for the next 3

- Updates on its own as days pass
- Tap a name to jump straight to their profile
Every kind of family date, in one place
Birthdays, anniversaries, pets, and custom events — grandparents, cousins, in-laws, and the family dog all fit in the same calendar.
- Works for birthdays, anniversaries, pets, and custom events
- Automatic sorting by nearest date
- Age shown automatically when the birth year is known
From reminder to greeting
When a family 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
Gift notes, kept with each person
Keep a running list of gift ideas, sizes, and preferences for each family member, private to you and your list.
Syncs to the calendar you already use
Subscribe to the family calendar in Apple, Google, or Outlook, and it stays in sync as anyone adds or edits a date.

Frequently asked questions
How a shared family birthday calendar works, and what it can keep track of.
What is a family birthday calendar?
A family birthday calendar is a shared list of birthdays, anniversaries, and other family dates that everyone in the family can view and update, instead of relying on one person's memory or a single physical calendar.
Can multiple family members add birthdays to the same calendar?
Yes. Birthday Reminder lets you invite family members to a shared list where anyone can add or edit a birthday, anniversary, or event.
Does everyone in the family get their own reminders?
Yes. Each family member can set their own reminder channel — push, email, or SMS/WhatsApp — and lead time, so reminders arrive the way that works for them.
Can a family birthday calendar include pets and anniversaries, not just birthdays?
Yes. Birthday Reminder supports birthdays, anniversaries, pets, and any custom family event, each reminding you independently.
Is there a physical or printable version of a family birthday calendar?
Birthday Reminder is a digital, always-up-to-date calendar rather than a printed one, but it syncs with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook so you can see it alongside any calendar you already keep on the fridge or wall.
Is Birthday Reminder free to use as a family birthday calendar?
Yes. It's free on web, iOS, and Android, with no ads and no paid tier.
