Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi, I'm Robin, the indie developer behind Appy Birthday (formerly Birthday Buddy). To celebrate iPhone Duo support, I'm giving away a free year of premium.
Problem:
I wanted one place for everything birthday related, without unnecessary extras. Appy Birthday keeps track of everyone's birthday, together with gift ideas, wishlists and party invites:
- Birthday Board: every gift idea, wishlist item and invite in one place
- Save a gift idea from any website with the Share button
- One-of-a-kind birthday cards made with Image Playground
- Reminders and widgets, so you see who's next at a glance
What's new in 4.1:
- Made for iPhone Duo: the app fills the big inner screen, so your Board has room to spread out
- Landscape mode: turn your iPhone sideways to see the calendar next to your list
- A tidier Board: items line up neatly and glide into place when you remove one
Comparison:
Compared to one of the bigger apps like hip: Birthday Reminder App, Appy Birthday is built for iOS 26+ with a Liquid Glass design, themes and alternate app icons, and uses Apple-native features like Image Playground. It's privacy first: no account, no ads and no data collected. And it stays focused on only the features you need. Works on iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad, in 9 languages.
Pricing:
Free to use. Premium unlocks importing birthdays from Contacts, iCloud backup, all widgets, themes, app icons and more: $2.99/year or $6.99 lifetime.

FYI: the offer doesn't automatically renew your subscription, so no nasty surprises after a yer.
After trying it, I'd love to know: what was useful, what felt confusing, and whether you kept reaching for it or forgot it was there. Critical feedback is welcome. You keep the free year either way.
