Birthday Sync for iPhone · Last updated October 26, 2026

Birthday Sync is made by Nathan Lewis. The short version: it collects nothing. Everything the app knows stays on your iPhone.

What the app uses, and where it stays

Contacts. With your permission, the app reads the names, birthdays, photos, phone numbers and email addresses in your contacts so it can show birthdays and address a birthday message. It writes to a contact only when you add or change a birthday yourself. This information is never sent anywhere.

Your choices. Who you want reminders for, gift flags and reminder settings are stored in the app on your iPhone. Home Screen widgets read a copy stored on the same device.

Notifications. Reminders are scheduled on your iPhone. No push server is involved.

Messages. When you send a birthday message, iOS shows its own message screen and you choose whether to send it. The app never sends a message by itself and never sees your conversations.

What the app doesn't do

No account or sign-in. No analytics, advertising or tracking. No third-party SDKs that collect data. Nothing is uploaded to a server, sold or shared.

Deleting your data

Settings › Restart setup › Erase everything removes everything the app has stored. Deleting the app also removes it. Your contacts are not affected either way.

Children

The app doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes and contact
