Every birthday, in one place, organized by who they actually are to you. These days, birthdays are scattered across platforms, apps, and calendars, making it hard for even the most organized people to remember all of them. BirthdayHQ fixes this. Bring birthdays in from wherever they already live: • Import directly from your Contacts, with your permission • Scan a WhatsApp chat export for birthday wishes • Browse and import your Facebook birthdays, or bring in a calendar export • Add anyone manually in seconds Most birthday apps treat everyone the same. BirthdayHQ doesn't. Sort the people you care about into circles: Immediate Family, Extended Family, Close Friend, Wider Network, and let each one get the reminder timing it actually deserves. Two weeks' notice for your sister. A quiet nudge on the day for your wider network. You decide. Never scramble for a gift again. Jot down notes on what someone's into, or what you got them last year. When their birthday arrives, BirthdayHQ surfaces gift ideas suited to their age, and quick ways to send a card — digital or physical — or a text, WhatsApp message, or email wish in one tap. Built around your privacy, BirthdayHQ doesn't have accounts, logins, or a server that stores your data. Everything — birthdays, notes, relationship circles — stays on your device. Nothing is tracked, sold, or used for advertising. Stop relying on someone else to remember for you. Get organized, on your terms.
