Birthday tracker
A birthday tracker that keeps itself up to date
A birthday tracker in a spreadsheet or on paper is only as complete as the day you made it. Hoera is a free online birthday tracker where the people in your life add their own birthday. You see who is next, how old they turn and how many days are left, and you get a reminder in time.
Free Β· no app needed
What the tracker shows you
- Everyone in one list, sorted by who has a birthday next.
- A countdown on every card: today, 3 days, 6 weeks.
- The age someone turns, unless they keep their year private.
- A heart for your favorites, with an extra reminder a few days ahead.
- Small milestones for the curious: the day someone is exactly 10,000 days old.
A birthday tracker with ages
Knowing the date is half of it. The question you really have is how old they turn, especially with children: your niece, your godson, the kids of your friends. In Hoera the parents add the year, so every card shows the age for you, and it is right every year without anyone doing the math.

From a list you maintain to a tracker that maintains itself
- 1
Add yourself
Your name, your birthday and your email. That is your tracker, ready in a minute. - 2
Share one link per group
Family, friends, work. Drop the link in the group chat and everyone adds their own birthday. - 3
Add the few who are missing
Grandma without a phone, a neighbor, your godchild. You add them privately, and only you see them. - 4
Let the reminders come to you
A weekly overview by email, and an earlier reminder for your favorites. No more opening a file to check.
A birthday countdown, built in
Every card in your tracker counts down by itself. A week before, a small cake appears on the card. On the day itself the confetti keeps falling. For children whose parents shared the year, you also see exactly how old they turn, which is the question every aunt, uncle and grandparent asks first.
Frequently asked questions
Is this birthday tracker free?+
Yes. The tracker and the email reminders are free. Only reminders on WhatsApp cost β¬19 a year.
Is it a birthday tracker app?+
It works like one, without the download. Hoera runs in the browser on iPhone, Android and your computer, and you can add it to your home screen.
Can I import my birthday spreadsheet?+
No, and that is on purpose. Instead of copying your list, you share one link and people add themselves, so the tracker stays right when things change. Anyone without a phone or email you add yourself in a few seconds.
Does it show how old someone turns?+
Yes, if that person filled in their year of birth. They can also keep the year private, and then you only see the day and the month.
Can it track anniversaries too?+
Not yet. Hoera tracks birthdays only, so it can stay simple.
