About

I'm a Business Analyst by day and a hobbyist iOS developer by night, based just outside Sydney. I lived in Seattle for three years and still have close friends scattered across the US, London, Paris, and India. My problem wasn't forgetting birthdays — I had reminders set. The problem was the reminder would fire and it wasn't actually their birthday yet in their timezone. I'd think "I'll remember to message them tomorrow." I never did. BirthdayBridge fixes that. It calculates when your contact is actually experiencing their birthday, finds the window where both of you are awake, and fires the notification at the right moment. All the timezone math runs on-device. No servers, no tracking, no subscription.

BirthdayBridge - Birthday reminders that fire in their timezone, not yours

Most birthday apps remind you at midnight your time. If your friend is in London and you're in Sydney, that fires at 9am your time — but it's 11pm the night before in theirs. Their birthday hasn't even started. BirthdayBridge finds the window where both of you are awake and fires the notification at the right moment — every year, automatically. No servers. No tracking. No subscription. Free to download. Built by a hobbyist iOS dev who kept missing the moment.
