Never miss a birthday

Pally keeps the dates, reminds you in time, and helps with the gift and the message.

You: never let me forget a birthday
Pally: deal. i already know six from your contacts. tell me others as they come up and i'll remind you a week out and again on the day.
You: sam's is friday! he's into climbing, gift ideas?
Pally: three ideas: a nicer belay device, a month's pass at his climbing gym, or the new Gunks guidebook.

The routine

How it works

CalendarCRM

The date is the easy part. The point is showing up like you remembered all along. Pally keeps every birthday it learns, reminds you early enough to do something about it, and helps with the something.

  1. Pally starts with the birthdays in your contacts and calendar.
  2. For each person it keeps the date with what you've shared, like how you know them or what they're into, so a reminder can come with a gift idea.
  3. The first nudge comes early enough to plan, then again on the day.
The full routine

Pally starts with the birthdays in your contacts and calendar. Tell it others as they come up; a name and a date are enough.

For each person it keeps the date with what you've shared, like how you know them or what they're into, so a reminder can come with a gift idea.

The first nudge comes early enough to plan, then again on the day. Ask for ideas, help with the message, or tell Pally you've handled it.

Before you start

Common questions

Where do the birthdays come from?

From your contacts and connected calendar, plus any you tell Pally directly. If two people share a name or a date is incomplete, Pally asks.

How early will Pally remind me?

You choose: enough notice to plan something, a same-day reminder, or both. Change it any time.

Can it help beyond remembering the date?

Yes. Pally suggests gifts from what it knows about the person and helps write the message. Tell it to send the message and it sends; ask for a draft and you see it first.
