Quick answers to the things people ask most. If yours is not here, write to us from the contact page.

Finding and sharing

Is FreeWishes really free?

Yes. Reading, copying and sharing are free and need no account. Reminders, the Card Maker and the Wish Writer are free too.

How do I find a wish quickly?

Type what you need in the search box, in everyday words, for example “birthday sister” or “anniversary husband”. You can also browse Wishes by occasion and then by the person it is for.

How do I send a wish on WhatsApp?

Tap the WhatsApp button under any message. WhatsApp opens with the text ready and you choose who to send it to. We never see your contacts or who you send it to.

Can I change a message before sending it?

Yes. Copy it and edit it in your chat, or tap the picture-card button to open it in the Card Maker, where you can change the words and add a name.

May I use these messages in my own cards or posts?

Yes, for personal use: cards, messages, captions and social posts. Please do not republish our collections on another website or sell them. The Terms explain this.

Reminders and calendar

How do reminders work?

Save a date on the Reminders page, such as a birthday or an anniversary. We send you an email before the day, at the time you chose, with wishes ready to send. Reminders are sent by email today.

Do you send reminders on WhatsApp or SMS?

Not yet. Reminders arrive by email. If we add WhatsApp or SMS, we will ask for your permission before sending anything there.

I did not get my reminder email.

Check your spam or promotions folder and mark the email as “not spam”. Then open Reminders and check that the date, the email address and “remind me” days are right. If it still does not arrive, write to us.

Are festival dates exact?

Dates for 2026 and 2027 are compiled from published calendars. Festivals that follow the moon, such as Eid, can shift by a day depending on the sighting and your region. We mark those days.

Can I add the dates to my phone calendar?

Yes. On the Calendar page, under “Use it in your phone's calendar”, you can subscribe to the festivals, download your own dates, or get a private link that keeps your phone calendar up to date.

Cards and the Wish Writer

What is the Card Maker?

It turns any message into a picture card. Add their name, choose a colour and artwork, add a photo if you like, then share or download it. The card is made on your device.

Is my photo uploaded when I make a card?

No. The photo is read by your browser to draw the card and never leaves your device.

What is the Wish Writer?

It writes four personal wishes from a few details you give: who it is for, the occasion and a memory. It uses AI, so read the result before you send it.

Do you keep what I type into the Wish Writer?

No. What you type is sent to our AI provider to write the wishes and is not saved in your account or used to build a profile of you.

Your account

Do I need an account?

No. You can browse, copy, share, make cards and even personalise your homepage without one. An account keeps your favourites, reminders and preferences safe and available on every device.

How do I sign in?

Choose “Sign in” and continue with Google, or enter your email and we will send you a sign-in link. There is no password to remember.

The sign-in link did not arrive or has expired.

Links work once and expire after a short time. Ask for a new one, open it on the same device and browser where you asked for it, and check your spam folder.

How do I change my topics, festivals or reminder times?

Open the account menu and choose Preferences. Changes apply to your homepage, calendar and daily quote straight away.

How do I delete my account?

Open Account, scroll to “Your data” and choose “Delete my account”. Your profile, saved dates, reminders, favourites and boards are removed permanently. This cannot be undone.

I joined the email list. When does it start?

The FreeWishes letter has not started yet. When it does, every email will have an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and one click is enough. To leave the list before then, write to us from the contact page.
