## What is Birthdays?

Every birthday and anniversary that matters — on your Home Screen, with the right words ready when the day comes. Private, offline and never a subscription.

Pick the people you care about straight from Contacts. Apple's picker hands over only the people you tap; the app never reads your address book. Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no tracking, no ads.

REMINDERS YOU CAN TRUST
• A reminder on the morning of every birthday and anniversary
• Reminders repeat every year on their own — even if you never open the app
• Heads-up reminders 1, 3, 7 or 14 days before, at the time you choose
• An optional Monday summary of the week ahead
• Reminder Check shows exactly what is scheduled and sends a test reminder on demand

WIDGETS FOR EVERY SCREEN
• Small, Medium and Large: who's next, and how many days
• Lock Screen: a countdown ring, a card, or one line above the clock
• Mark a wish as sent right from the widget
• One Birthday: a countdown to one person you choose

BIRTHDAYS, ANNIVERSARIES AND REMEMBRANCE
Add a couple's anniversary and see the years together, or keep a quiet reminder on the birthday of someone you've lost — no confetti, no wishes, just a moment to remember.

THE RIGHT WORDS, IN ONE TAP
Dozens of hand-written wishes in five tones — warm, short, funny, heartfelt or formal — with milestone and belated ones too. Messages opens with their number and your note, ready to send.

SEND A BIRTHDAY CARD
Six card designs with their name and age, made on your iPhone and sent in Messages or anywhere you like.

GIFTS WITHOUT THE PANIC
Note gift ideas the moment they come to you, add a price, mark what you've bought, and see every coming birthday and anniversary in the gift planner. When you give a gift, it moves to their history — so next year you know exactly what you gave.

ALL ABOUT THEIR DAY
Every person gets a large countdown, the age they turn and a small almanac: star sign, Chinese zodiac, birthstone, birth flower, the day of the week they were born and, for anniversaries, the traditional gift.

MAKE IT YOURS
Six color themes for the app and widgets, seven app icons, a photo for everyone, and an optional celebration on the day.

Search by name, note or gift idea. Back up to a file you keep, restore it any time, and export to a calendar (.ics) or spreadsheet (.csv).
