How it works

1

Text Candl

Send a message on WhatsApp. Share your contacts — Candl pulls the birthdays automatically.

2

Live your life

Candl tracks every date. You forget about it completely.

3

Show up perfectly

Get reminded days ahead. Draft the perfect message. Never miss one.

Three texts. Every birthday. Every year.

7 days before

Dani's birthday is next Friday. You've got time.

1 day before

Dani's birthday is tomorrow. Don't blow it.

Day of

Happy birthday to Dani. Text her. Now.

Every birthday. Every year. Forever.

Your list builds itself.

Share your contacts — Candl finds birthdays already hiding in your phone.

Invite friends — When they join and share back, you both get each other's dates automatically.

Do nothing — Your list grows while you sleep.

Share birthdays, not data.

Tell Candl to share your birthday with a friend. If they share theirs back, you both get each other's dates automatically.

No one sees anything until both sides agree. No sneaky data sharing, no dark patterns. You choose who knows, and you can revoke anytime.

The more friends who join, the fewer birthdays you have to add yourself.

Pick a tone. Candl writes it.

Tell Candl what vibe you want. Get a message you'd actually send.

Casual

Happy birthday Jake! Hope it's a good one 🎂

Heartfelt

Dani — I know I don't say it enough, but you're one of my favorite people. Happy birthday.

Roast

Another year of making questionable decisions and somehow landing on your feet. Never change.

Funny

Happy birthday! You're now mass-texting distance from 'happy belated' territory.

Everything birthdays, handled.

Never forget a birthday

Proactive reminders — 7 days, 1 day, day-of. Every year, forever.

Manage birthdays over text

Add, search, update — just text Candl like you'd text a friend.

Your list builds itself

Share contacts, invite friends. Birthdays appear automatically.

The perfect thing to say

Candl drafts birthday messages for you. Funny, heartfelt, roast — you pick.

Plan with friends

Soon

Coordinate birthday plans and split gifts with your group. No more "wait, who's getting what?"

Gift ideas

Ask Candl what to get someone. It suggests thoughtful ideas based on their interests and your budget.

Send flowers & gifts

Soon

Pick a gift, Candl ships it. Flowers, bottles, cards — delivered on the day.

Handwritten cards

Soon

Tell Candl what to say. A real card, handwritten and mailed, shows up at their door.

No app. No signup. No catch.

Candl lives entirely in WhatsApp. Nothing to download, nothing to create an account for.

Your birthday is only shared with people you approve. Both sides agree before anything is exchanged. Revoke anytime.

We don't sell data. We don't show ads. Your first 10 birthdays are free.
