About

Birthday Book

Features
Read full description

Birthday Book is your family's shared book of birthdays โ€” everyone you love, what they're into, and a plan for each of their days. Add the family once and the book takes it from there: countdowns, reminders that arrive while there's still time to act, and a nudge to order the card so it lands on the doormat, not three days late. THE BOOK DOES THE HOMEWORK Note that someone's into gardening, dinosaurs or synths and the book keeps a shortlist of gift ideas ready before you ask โ€” each with the why written down: why it suits them, and what to steer around. THE WHOLE FAMILY IN ONE BOOK Share the book with your household. Anyone can add people, suggest ideas, heart a favourite, and quietly claim a gift so no two of you buy the same thing. GROUP PRESENTS WITHOUT THE SPREADSHEET Chip in on a bigger present together. Pledges are promises between family โ€” no money moves through the app โ€” and everyone gets a note on how to square up, your way. NEVER MISS A DATE Push notifications and emails timed to three weeks, one week and two days out โ€” while there's still time to do something about it โ€” plus a live calendar feed for your phone or laptop. FORWARD THE PARTY INVITE Your book has its own email address. Forward a party invitation to it and the date writes itself in. QUIET ON PURPOSE No ads, no tracking, no selling your data. Your family's birthdays are yours.
