Never forget a birthday again — and never draw a blank on what to get them. Presented remembers every date and keeps every gift idea in one place, beautifully. NEW: FRIENDS & WISHLISTS Pick a handle, find people by @handle or name, and send a friend request. Nothing is shared until they accept — then you both see each other's birthday automatically. No more awkwardly asking someone when their birthday is, or hoping you wrote it down right. Add what you actually want to your wishlist, with photos. Friends see it on your profile. They stop guessing, you stop getting candles you'll never light. GIFT IDEAS THAT ACTUALLY HELP Spotted something perfect while shopping? Save it in seconds with a photo and a note. Then save the details that make gifts land — ring size, shoe size, the allergy you keep forgetting, what they said they wanted in passing three months ago. When the birthday comes, it's all there. BIRTHDAYS ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A birthday widget in three Home Screen sizes, plus three Lock Screen styles. Your next birthdays, always in view. Tap one to open that person straight away. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY WORK Get nudged a month, a week, and a day before — enough time to actually buy something, not just panic. With Pro, set your own schedule and your own times, per person. IMPORT IN ONE TAP Already have birthdays in your contacts? Bring them in at once. Duplicates are detected automatically, and contacts without a birthday can be imported too — add the date later. PRESENTED PRO • Unlimited people (free includes up to 5) • More wishlist room • Custom reminders for birthdays • Choose exactly when you're nudged, per person • Pay once and keep it forever — no renewals, no expiry • Support an independent developer building this properly YOUR PRIVACY, PLAINLY Your birthdays, gift notes, and personal details stay on your device and sync through your own iCloud account. They are private to you. Signing in is entirely optional — the whole app works without an account. If you do sign in for friends and wishlists, only what you choose to share is stored: your name, handle, photo, birthday, and wishlist, visible only to friends you've accepted. You can delete your account and everything in it from Settings, any time. No ads. We don't sell your data. Analytics are off unless you turn them on yourself. MADE FOR iPHONE AND iPAD Presented adapts to the screen it's on — a spacious split view on iPad, a clean single column on iPhone. Light and dark, both considered. FEATURES AT A GLANCE • Countdown to every birthday • Gift notes with photos • Personal details — sizes, allergies, anything worth remembering • Friends, handles, and friend requests • Shareable wishlist with photos • Birthday widget — three Home Screen sizes, three Lock Screen styles • Block and report, with a 24-hour response • Colour-coded contact cards • One-tap contact import with duplicate detection • Custom reminder schedules and times (Pro) • iCloud sync across your devices • Light, dark, and system appearance • No ads, ever You're in control of who reaches you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Birthday Buddy Countdown at none against Presented's 1. Birthday Buddy Countdown also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
