Facebook’s birthday reminders service is one of the most appreciated features of the platform. Even the non-active Facebook users tend to use its birthday reminder service every then and now. But what if we told you, there’s a new service on the block which can import birthdays of your Facebook friends and send you reminders via email.

The Birthdays Reminder web app by Sasha Koss works independently of Facebook. All you need to do is provide the Birthdays event link from your Facebook account to the web app, and it will automatically import your Facebook friends birthdays to send reminders via email.
