Birthday Time turns every birthday into a special moment — twice a day. Here's how it works: your friend's birthday maps to a unique time. The month becomes the hour, and the day becomes the minute. July 4? That's 7:04 PM. December 25? 12:25 PM. January 1? 1:01 PM. Every person you know has their own Birthday Time, and it happens twice daily — once in the AM and once in the PM. Birthday Time sends you a notification at the exact moment so you never miss it. FEATURES • Automatic Birthday Detection — Import contacts who already have birthdays saved, or add anyone manually • Smart Notifications — Get notified at the exact minute of each person's Birthday Time, both AM and PM • Quiet Hours — Set a window so you're never woken up by an early-morning Birthday Time • Live Clock — Watch the current time and see whose birthday it maps to right now • Celebration Mode — When it's someone's Birthday Time, the app lights up with confetti and gold • Famous Birthdays — Discover which celebrities share the current Birthday Time, with photos from Wikipedia • Quick Message — Tap to send a birthday text right from the celebration screen • Home Screen Widget — Small and medium widgets that update every minute and celebrate active Birthday Times • Beautiful Design — Animated gradient backgrounds, floating particles, and glass effects Birthday Time is a fun, delightful way to think about the people in your life — every single day.
