A simple routine
- Pick three people for each holiday you celebrate.
- Make a flipbook or a card in their language, a few days ahead.
- Schedule it to open on the morning of the day.
Reminders in the app
ShareGreet reminds you a few days before the holidays of the country you picked, at 9 in the morning your time, with a ready idea for the greeting. You can turn the festival reminders off in Settings. To never miss a birthday or anniversary too, add the dates under saved dates.
Frequently asked questions

India, the US, Mexico, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Spain, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Nigeria, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Turkey and Vietnam, based on the region you pick.
Can I turn the reminders off?
Yes. Turn festival reminders off in Settings.
Is making a greeting free?
Cards and flipbooks are free, and you can schedule them to open at a time you choose.
