You saw the notification, thought "I'll write something later", and later never came. BirthMinder gives you the reminder early enough to actually do something with it, and a message ready when the day arrives. REMINDERS THAT ARRIVE IN TIME One date can have several reminders, and you choose which. A month ahead, two weeks, a week, three days, the day before, or the morning itself. Set four for your mother and one for the guy at work. A date can also stay silent, sitting on the timeline without notifying you at all. MORE THAN BIRTHDAYS Birthdays, name days, anniversaries, and anything else you want to keep track of. Name days are filled in from a built-in calendar of names, so you rarely have to look one up. Dates that move every year work too, like Mother's Day on the second Sunday or a holiday that follows Easter. EVERYTHING ON ONE TIMELINE Your upcoming dates in the order they happen, with the calendar view when you want the whole month at once. Add people by hand or bring them in from your contacts, and keep notes on what each person is into. SOMETHING WORTH SENDING Writing the message is the part people put off. BirthMinder turns your notes about someone into wishes that sound like you know them, because you do. Adjust the tone, make it shorter, add emoji or leave them out. Copy it, or send it straight to the app you already use. Everyone gets ready-made wishes for free. Pro writes them from your own notes about the person, with no limit on how many times you rewrite one until it sounds right. WORKS WITHOUT A SIGNAL Your people and dates live on your phone, so the app opens and works on a plane. Sign in and everything syncs to your other devices. PRO Pro unlocks personalized wishes without limits, and your own defaults for tone, length and emoji. Monthly or yearly, with a free trial. Everything else, the reminders, the timeline, the calendar and the contacts, stays free. Add one person now and you will not think about their birthday again. birthminder.app Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://birthminder.app/privacy-policy
