Why a calendar alert is not enough
A normal reminder tells you the date and nothing else. You see it on the morning, panic, and buy whatever the nearest shop has left.
A good birthday reminder app gives you time to act, and something to act on. That means a warning days ahead, not hours, and a clue about what to buy.
Birthday reminders with the gift ideas attached
On HintDrop, people save things they like from any shop with a tap. When a birthday gets close, the reminder shows what that person has dropped, with a link to buy it.
So the reminder turns into a plan: open it, pick an idea, order it, done.
See every birthday in one calendar
Every birthday you add shows up in your calendar. Family, friends, colleagues, all in one view, so you can see a busy month coming and spread the spending out.
What to look for in a birthday reminder app
Check how far ahead it warns you. A week gives you time for delivery, which a same day alert never does. Check that it works across your phone and laptop, so you are not tied to one device.
Then check what happens after the reminder. If the app stops at the date, you still have to work out the gift yourself. The best ones help you finish the job.
Not just birthdays
HintDrop is a wishlist app for the whole year. Make a birthday wishlist for yourself, share it, and the people who buy for you can see exactly what you mean. Every shop, one HintList.
Questions people ask
Is there a free birthday reminder app?
Yes. HintDrop is free on iPhone, Android and the web. Add as many birthdays as you like and get reminders before each one.
How early will I be reminded?
By default you get an email a week before a birthday, plus nudges closer to the day. You can change how many days ahead in your settings.
What is the best birthday reminder app?
The best one is the one that still helps on the day. A reminder that only says "it's Sam's birthday" leaves you stuck at the last minute, so look for one that also shows what the person would like. HintDrop pairs the reminder with their saved gift ideas.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. HintDrop is free on iPhone and Android, and there is a web version too, so your birthdays are the same wherever you look.
Can I see all my birthdays in one place?
Yes. Every birthday you add lands in your calendar, so you can see what is coming up this month at a glance.
Does the reminder help me choose a gift?
Yes. When a birthday is close, the reminder shows gift ideas that person has dropped on their list, with a link straight to the shop.
How do I add a birthday?
Add the person to your circle and enter their birthday, or send them the link to add their own. It takes a minute.
