Birthday reminders

One reminder on the day is not enough: by then it is too late to buy a present. In KIPRI one date gets several alerts, for example a week before, three days before and on the morning of the birthday.


How to set it up

  1. Add the date, the year is optional

    Birthdays, plus, name and date. If you know the year, the app works out how old the person is turning. If not, the date is saved without a year and the age is simply not shown.

  2. Choose how many days ahead

    Options: on the day, 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days before, and you can tick several. There are ready sets: «on the day only», «standard» (a week, three days and on the day) and «early» (7, 3, 1 day and on the day).

  3. Write down what they like

    Every entry has a notes field. It is a handy place to collect present ideas through the year, when the person mentions something, instead of guessing the day before.

  4. Or say it

    The phrase «Mum’s birthday on March 12» creates the entry. By voice you can also ask whose birthdays are coming up and mark that you have already said happy birthday.

What KIPRI cannot do here

  • There is no import from contacts, dates are entered by hand or by voice.
  • The alert time is fixed at 9:00 in the morning. If quiet hours are on and cover 9:00, the alert moves to the end of them.
  • There is no separate «present ideas» field, the notes about the person serve for that.
  • The free plan holds 20 birthdays.

Why several alerts, not one

A birthday reminder has two different jobs. The first is to have time for a present, and that needs a few days of margin. The second is not to forget to say happy birthday, and that needs an alert on the day. One alert only covers one of them.

If the morning digest is on and arrives no later than 9:00, the separate «birthday today» push is not duplicated: the name will be in the digest. The «N days before» alerts arrive either way.

What people usually ask

  • Can I get a birthday reminder a month ahead?

    Yes, one of the options is «30 days before». You can tick it along with others, for example 30 days, a week and on the day.

  • Do I need the internet for the reminder to arrive?

    No. Notifications are scheduled on the phone itself and fire without a network. The internet is needed to sign in and to sync entries between devices.

  • What if I do not know the year of birth?

    The date is saved without a year. Reminders work the same, the app just does not show the age.
