Birthday reminder
Birthdays don't wait. The reminder fires on the day and a few days earlier so you can pick a gift, and it repeats every year without any effort from you.
Ready-made reminder
- Title
- Birthday: Anna
- Date
- The birthday (day and month; any year works)
- Remind in advance
- 3 days before, to have time for a gift
- Repeat
- every year
Free, no card. The template doesn't create a record by itself: you enter the title and dates yourself. Email to @mail.ru addresses is currently blocked, so use Telegram for those.
Why a reminder helps
- Phone calendars make birthdays easy to miss, especially for colleagues and distant friends.
- A reminder only on the day leaves no time for a gift.
- The more people you know, the less likely you are to remember everyone.
How to set it up
- Put the name in the title, and a gift idea if you like: “Birthday: Anna, a book”.
- “3 days before” is handy when the gift must be bought or shipped.
- You can also send a greeting reminder to the person themselves, by email or in Telegram: it arrives on the day.
Create it in a minute
- Open the LaterDrop bot in Telegram or sign up on the website.
- Create a new record with the title from the template.
- Enter the date, choose “Remind in advance” and a repeat if you need one.
Frequently asked questions
What if I don't know the birth year?
The year doesn't matter for the reminder. Pick the next date with the right day and month and turn on “every year”.
Can I remind the person as well as myself?
You can add a person as a recipient and send the reminder to them. Only send to people who agreed to get messages.
How many birthdays can I add?
The limits are on the Pricing page: the service is free for now, and the limits are enough for normal use.
