1. Save the dates that matter
Add a parent's birthday, your anniversary or a friend's big day by hand, or import a contacts or calendar file, a CSV file or a pasted list. Free for up to 10 saved dates.
2. Get an email before each one
The day before by default, or on the day, or 1, 3, 7 or 14 days before. Reminders come by email, and as a notification in the Mac app. No SMS.
3. Review the message, then send it
Each reminder has a message already written: the AI-written draft you saved for that date (Plus and Premium), otherwise a free template with their name. Send it from Greetigo or copy it. Nothing is sent without your click.
Where it runs
In any web browser, and as an app for Mac (macOS 12 or later) that also shows Mac notifications on your reminder days. Both use the same account.
On your phone, it works in Safari or Chrome, and the reminder comes by email, so there is nothing to install. You can add Greetigo to your Home Screen from the browser's Share or menu button. There is no iPhone or Android app in the App Store or Google Play.
What it doesn't do
No SMS reminders. No Windows app. No live sync with your phone or Google contacts: imports are a one-time copy. And it never sends a message without your click.
Greetigo, a calendar alert, or do it yourself?
A calendar alert is free and already on your phone. Your calendar can show the birthdays saved in your contacts, and you can add others as yearly events with an alert. It tells you the date; the words are up to you.
A do-it-yourself setup, like a spreadsheet and an automation that emails you before each date, works if you enjoy building things. You maintain it, and you still write each message.
Greetigo keeps your people and dates in one list and emails you before each date with a message already written. Free for up to 10 saved dates. See what the reminder email looks like.
Who is Greetigo for?
Anyone who has missed a birthday they cared about and doesn't want to again: a parent's, a partner's, a best friend's. It works for coworkers' birthdays and work anniversaries too.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a birthday reminder app?
Pick one that reminds you early enough to act, somewhere you will actually see it. Greetigo emails you the day before, or on the days you choose, with a message already written, so the reminder and the words arrive together. It works in any browser, on a phone or a computer, and in the Mac app. Greetigo doesn't send text messages. Reminders come by email.
Is there a free birthday reminder app?
Yes. Greetigo is free for up to 10 saved dates, with email reminders, free message templates, manual entry and calendar or contacts file import. AI-written drafts come with Plus and Premium.
Is Greetigo a birthday alarm app?
It is a birthday reminder app, and its alert is an email: the day before by default, or on the day, or 1, 3, 7 or 14 days before. In the Mac app you can also turn on Mac notifications on your reminder days. It does not ring like an alarm clock. There is no iPhone or Android app to install: on a phone it works in the browser, and the reminder comes to your email.
Can I import the birthdays I already have?
Yes: import a contacts file (.vcf), which iPhone, Mac, iCloud.com, Google Contacts and Android can all save, or a calendar file (.ics), such as an export from Google Calendar or Apple Calendar (an export may leave out the birthdays calendar), import a CSV file, or paste a list. Imports are one-time, not an ongoing sync, and Greetigo does not connect to your phone or Google contacts.
Can a birthday reminder app write messages for me?
Greetigo puts a message in every reminder: the AI-written draft you saved for that date (Plus and Premium), otherwise a free template with their name. On Plus and Premium, drafts are written in the app (you can ask for one, and once you allow AI drafts, Greetigo also writes one when you save a new date on the Dates page); the reminder email carries the one saved for that date and never writes a new one. You review it and change anything you like. Nothing is sent until you click Send.
Save the first birthday you never want to miss
Free for up to 10 saved dates. Plus and Premium add AI-written drafts when you want help with the words: Plus is $4.99 a month or $49.90 a year, Premium is $9.99 a month or $99.90 a year.
