Getting started
- Open Birthday Circle and allow notifications when prompted (you can also enable them later in Settings).
- Tap + to add someone — name, birthday, optional photo or emoji, and notes.
- Optionally turn on Remind me ahead for that person (1 day, 3 days, 5 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, or 1 month before).
- On their birthday, open the Today tab and tap Mark as Wished.
Notifications
On someone’s birthday you’ll get up to three reminders:
- 8:00 AM — morning
- 1:00 PM — midday (if not yet wished)
- 7:00 PM — evening (if not yet wished)
Advance reminders fire at 9:00 AM on the day you chose.
If reminders aren’t arriving, open the app → Settings and check notification permission. You can also confirm Morning / Midday / Evening toggles are on.
Home Screen widget
- Open Birthday Circle once so your circle can sync to the widget.
- Long-press the Home Screen → Edit → Add Widget.
- Search for Birthday Circle and add Small or Medium.
If the widget looks empty, open the app again, then remove and re-add the widget.
Common questions
Where is my data stored?
Only on your iPhone. There is no account and no cloud sync in version 1.
Why doesn’t age show?
Age appears only when you turn on I know the year while adding or editing someone.
Can I change reminder times?
You can turn each of the three daily slots on or off in Settings. Custom clock times aren’t available yet.
Deleting a person
Open their card from Circle, tap Remove, and confirm. Their reminders are cancelled.
