Never early. Never late.
Schedule a birthday video message now and we deliver it on the exact morning, this year, next year, or every year for the next five. Punctual affection, guaranteed.
“All four of us, singing badly, recorded months ahead of schedule. Punctual for once in our lives.”
“The twenty-nine-year-old requests a status report.”
“One message a year, recorded in one sitting, so there’s a version of me at every candle.”
Three steps, then time does the rest.
Record it when you mean it
Not the rushed morning-of text. The real message, recorded when you have the time to say it properly.
Schedule the exact day
This birthday or a milestone years out: the 18th, the 40th, the 60th. One date per video.
It arrives with the candles
Delivered by email on the morning. You look thoughtful; we look after the calendar.
How to schedule a birthday video message in advance
Record the message whenever the feeling strikes — a quiet Sunday, the night you thought of them, months before the date. Upload it, set delivery for the birthday morning, and you’re done; the calendar is our job from there. On the day, the video arrives by email, on time to the hour. The Free plan delivers to your own inbox, which covers messages to yourself; Premium delivers to any address, which covers everyone you love who has ever received your greeting three days late.
Milestone birthdays worth planning years ahead
Some birthdays deserve more lead time than a reminder app can give. A message to yourself at thirty, recorded at twenty-nine, asking for the status report. A sixtieth for a parent, recorded by all the siblings in one chaotic sitting, months early and therefore — for once — punctual. An eighteenth, a fortieth, a first birthday after a hard year. The milestone gives the message its weight; the scheduling gives it its punctuality. Record when you mean it, deliver when it counts.
Why a scheduled video beats a scheduled text
Plenty of apps will send a text at a chosen time, and a text is what it is: words in a queue, read in a checkout line, gone by lunch. A video that was recorded months ago and held unopened until the morning arrives as an event. It has a face, a voice, and — this is the part a text can’t fake — the visible fact of having been planned. The message says happy birthday. The waiting says you matter enough to think about in advance.
Can I schedule several birthdays at once?
Yes. Record a batch of messages in one sitting and give each its own delivery date, one per birthday for years ahead.
Do I need Premium to schedule to someone else?
Yes. The Free plan delivers to your own email, which works for messages to yourself. Premium delivers to any address.
What makes this better than a scheduled text?
A text is words on a screen. This is your face and voice, held unopened until the day, with the weight of having waited. It arrives as an event, not a notification.
What if I get the date slightly wrong?
Unlocked videos can be rescheduled any time before delivery, so a wrong date is a ten-second fix.
The most reliable person at the party can be the one who planned ahead.
