2019.12.22 Update – Birthday Buddy Extension is currently working as expected. We have resolved the issues reported since a few days ago.
Birthday Buddy is now fully automated!
Please visit bdaybud.com to create a fully automated schedule!
Your BdayBuddy credentials will work to log in to BdayBud.
With the fully automated version, this extension is no longer necessary, but will continue to be available for those that still want to use it.
Whose birthday is coming up? If yours is next week, next month, or even next year, you probably got excited when asked that question. Forgetting someone’s birthday can be catastrophic! Today’s busy schedules can keep us from sending our wishes to those deserving of them. Birthday Buddy is your personal birthday assistant striving to help you send your wishes in unique ways and cool features 🙂
Birthday Buddy revolutionizes the Facebook birthday scene; this extension automatically posts a personalized birthday wish on your Facebook friends’ walls when it is their birthday.

Customize and create your own birthday posts using Birthday Buddy 2.0+!
How long does it take for you to wish all your friends on Facebook “happy birthday” every day?
5 seconds? one minute? half an hour? 125 minutes?
How often do you completely forget to wish a friend “happy birthday?”
When this happens, and it does, your friends are left disappointed, but even worse, you are left disappointed in yourself.
As soon as you download the extension, visit Facebook, create a Birthday Buddy account, save some custom birthday messages, and BOOM, all of the birthday boys and girls on your friends list were just wished happy birthday by yours truly.
Birthday Buddy randomly cycles through three different birthday wishes that you have created, each personalized. You have the ability to utilize a first name placeholder.
Automatic birthday reminder!
Automatic birthday wishes on Facebook!

Now that this is fully automated it's perfect! As someone who uses FB to maintain relationships this is amazing and now I never have to worry about forgetting to send out BDay wishes. EDIT - I wanted to add that I have had to contact the developer twice now and both times there has been very fast and clear communication. Both times he addressed my issues and had me taken care of within 24 hours.
Steven
Thank you for creating this program!! It's been a time saver so I never forget to post and I don't have to post, belated birthday messages anymore. I also appreciate your quick responses to my email questions and adding support for emojis.
Steven
Hi Keith, I would be happy to help you out. Please email help@bdaybud.com to start the process. Clicking on "apply wishes" should not prompt for you to upgrade, unless you are clicking the "apply wishes" in the belated birthdays section.
Keith
Free Version is not working for me! I am afraid to even get the paid version. Set Up Messages clicked on apply wishes and Nothing! All it wants is an upgrade!
Steven
New Fully automated Birthday Buddy version (Set it and forget it) is now available at: https://bdaybud.com

Ray
Steven - Is this ever going to be automated? If not, can we at least have a different set of replies that can be applied to the belated birthdays? Right now when I forget to do it a day and I come in tomorrow all of the Birthday wishes are as though the birthday is today instead of yesterday.
George
I am still waiting for the birthday messages to be automated. I paid for the service
Khang
good
Alec
"Bday Buddy Settings" link started to crash my page, so now I can't edit my posts. Will update this when it's fixed.
Rajnish
Although it mentions it is free but Ask for charges of the basic service also
Eyon
It was okay but now it isn't automated. You need to visit the birthday page on facebook for the messages to go through. Please fix this, it's a great app concept and the only one available that works.
Steven
Please email birthdaybuddy@stevenbraverman.com using the same email address you used to subscribe with. The furthest you can automate currently is by having a link to the birthdays page. Further automation (Set it and forget it) is currently being worked on. All subscriptions support the work that goes towards new features and further automation for Birthday Buddy.
Aaron
I'd like a refund, the automation feature didn't work, I've had it for a bit over a month and the automated birthday feature that I paid for hasn't posted unless I go onto facebook and into the birthdays section. Not very automated. Cool idea, but I'd like to cancel the service and my money back.
Steven
Hi Ray. The set it and forget it feature is being worked on. Until then, you must visit the birthday page on Facebook in order to have Birthday Buddy go to work.
Don
The automate feature (no button clicks) was free before. Please allow this feature back onto the free version and set as the basis. Any additional new feature going towards premium makes most sense. Tip: Switch to Birthday Well-Wisher, does the same automated messaging but it's free.
Nil
This app doesn't work. I paid for the automatic birthay messages and it doesnt work. Can somebody help me?
Viteri
Birthday Buddy is working great! Thank you Steve. And I am checking back regularly to see when we will be able to add a picture/image or video with the birthday post. That will be a great upgrade and I will for sure upgrade to that version for the yearly fee. Thanks again.
Carlos
Excelente
Manuel
amiga buen dia, es posible utilizar Birthday Buddy para una fanspage? o solo es para un usuario común
Steven
My goal is to help improve the process of sending birthday messages to loved ones on Facebook. Before releasing version 3, Birthday Buddy was in bad shape. It barely worked 30% of the time. Birthday messages were repeated (Imagine sending the same person 2+ birthday messages, sometime the same message, sometimes a different one). People were unable to browse their feed as Birthday Buddy would constantly send them to the birthday page. There were many bugs to say the least. This is the basis, a broken extension. No button clicks, nothing working right. Facebook makes changes constantly. Birthday Buddy must change each time this happens. Version 2 was at the end of its life after the latest Facebook update. I could have walked away and Birthday Buddy would be no more. I decided to completely rework it. Version 3 is a completely different extension (Software that allows Birthday Buddy to work is completely different from prior versions). Therefore, the basis is version 3.
mike
Agree with previous comments, it no longer automate birthday postings. You should allow the automate feature (no button clicks) back onto the free version and set as the basis.
Steven
Birthday Buddy is still available as a free product to all. The free version still assists in automating birthday wishes. New feature alert, Birthday Buddy now also helps you automate belated birthday wishes. Enjoy using the extension!
网友
Sellout developer. The whole point was that it was automatic. Now it's gone.
Steven
It is still free to use Birthday Buddy. The free version allows you to automate applying and sending birthday wishes. The subscription service goes towards new feature creation, maintenance, and hosting the infrastructure necessary for Birthday Buddy to work for everyone. All features, for free and subscribed users, can be viewed at: https://stevenbraverman.com/birthdaybuddy/features
Andrew
No longer automates birthday wishes unless you pay $36/year.
Steven
Birthday Buddy Extension is still free to use, and no features have been stripped from the free model. New features will be rolled out to subscribed users though. To see a list of features please visit https://stevenbraverman.com/birthdaybuddy/features
Jonathan
Jeez! Not disrespecting your work but 36usd is a lot of money at 10 I would have paid
Eric
This was a great free extension, but the developer became greedy, charging $3 to $5 Per Month.
Daniel
Used to be free to automatically apply birthday wishes. Now $36/year. Requiring $$ for previously free features (instead of just applying the freemium model) is the hallmark of a great software engineer who doesn't want to keep his customers. Will be interesting to see if this project flops. $36/yr to automatically say Happy Birthday on Facebook? You gotta be out of your mind.
Steven
Birthday Buddy now has functionality to send wishes automatically (No button clicks)
Steven
This is true... but only for a short time period. Update will be coming soon. Be on the lookout for amazing new features
Passport
Not sending wishes automatically anymore. i have to apply then send :/
Manuela
Muchísimas gracias. Ahora vuelve a funcionar :)) Birthday Buddy es excepcional! No podría estar sin el. ¡GRACIAS!!!
Maximili..

Okanagan
Was disappointed, until I read the instructions for the new version. Now, very happy! Thanks, for a great extension. Wish I had something like this for all my social messaging.

Funciono la aplicación los primeros días, luego dejo de funcionar.
