Piñata is your simple source of truth for birthdays. Build birthday contacts, get reminders when it matters, and launch your messaging app with a prewritten text message so you can send or call in seconds. Create meaningful moments effortlessly.
Hi Product Hunt, I’m Bento. I built Piñata Birthday Reminder because tracking birthdays across Facebook, calendars, and notes was messy. I wanted one simple place that stays accurate and helps you act fast.
Piñata is your simple source of truth for birthdays: a tidy list of birthday contacts, timely reminders, and one tap to text or call.
It focuses on birthdays only, so it’s quick, predictable, and easy to build a habit around.
Try it: download Piñata, add a few birthdays, pick reminder timing, and let the next notification guide you.
iOS today. Android coming soon. I’m here for questions and feedback. If it helps you keep even one birthday on time, an upvote would mean a lot. Thanks for checking it out.
LOVE THIS! My Google Calendar situation isn’t working so well 🫠 I wonder whether it could grow to accommodate other milestone moments too, like anniversaries or life events?
For those who really matters, I will never forget their birthday. BUT this app can be a tricky tool to show my care and kindness. I will try it once I get 10 friends need to say happy birthday.
Really useful! The reminders and prewritten messages totally solve my ‘forgetting birthdays’ problem 😂
Hi, love the idea but why is this better than a custom gcal for birthdays?
@blamebento at first, I thought why should I use a birthday reminder app for myself. Then I thought, okay, it is necessary in this first moving world as poeple are busy with several things and sometimes forget wife's/mother's birthday to celebrate. So, though it is small but should be impactfull app for people. Go on @blamebento . Wish you best luck
@blamebento Can't wait to try this out! I'm always worried about forgetting birthdays!
I’ve had the chance to watch Bento build Pinata from the very beginning, and it’s been inspiring to see how much care he put into every detail. He’s one of those people who will spend hours refining even the smallest part of the product before letting it out into the world, and it really shows in the final result. The UI is clean, the colors are fun, and even the little touches like the logo make it feel thoughtful and polished.
Birthdays matter more than people sometimes admit. It’s not really about gifts or balloons. It’s about remembering the people in your circle and making sure they feel seen and valued on their day. As you get older, that circle tends to get smaller, which makes the people who remember you even more meaningful. Pinata makes it easy to celebrate those relationships and keep those connections strong.
What I also love is how useful it is beyond just sending a quick text. You can set reminders ahead of time for the people you actually want to plan something for. You can import your contacts at once, keep everything backed up if you switch phones, even add custom photos or let Pinata help generate a message. It’s practical, personal, and thoughtful all at once.
Huge props to @blamebento for creating something that feels simple to use but is packed with smart little features. And bigger props for building something that helps people stay connected in a genuine way.
@blamebento does this app gives you friends also ? 😭
I can’t count how many birthdays I’ve missed because they’re scattered across Facebook and random notes. Love this super useful idea!
