In your Discord server, Birthday Bot will track your users' birthdays and, using their time zone, celebrate their birthday through its customizable birthday role and message. Additionally, Birthday Bot can celebrate the anniversary of members joining the server and the anniversary of your server's creation!
**If you haven't already, invite Birthday Bot to your discord** [**here**](https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=656621136808902656\&permissions=269053008\&scope=bot)**.**
## **Free Features**:
* Each user can [set their birthday & time zone](https://birthdaybot.scottbucher.dev/setting-your-birthday) into the bot, which stores that information into a database, allowing the bot to know on what day and what time zone to celebrate the user's birthday
* Birthday System: Celebrate birthdays in your server!
* By default, birthdays are shown in all servers with Birthday Bot, and birth years/ages are hidden. Users and server owners can customize this:
* Users can use `/user` to edit their global settings and `/user_server` to edit their server-specific settings. [User Privacy Settings](https://birthdaybot.scottbucher.dev/faq-1/user/user-privacy).
* Server owners can set up a custom [birthday blacklist](https://birthdaybot.scottbucher.dev/faq-1/birthday-system#what-is-the-birthday-blacklist) to prevent certain users and/or roles from having their birthday celebrated and shown in the server.
* Server owners can set up the [trusted role system](https://birthdaybot.scottbucher.dev/faq-1/birthday-system/trusted-system) in order to lock certain or all things related to the birthday system behind a specific role.
