GoodFriend is a Claude Code plugin for macOS that surfaces upcoming and recent birthdays in the Claude Code spinner and a prompt card. Birthdays come from the Contacts app or are seeded via /seed, which ranks your most-contacted people using message and group chat metadata (names only, never message content) before asking Claude to help fill in missing dates. On someone's birthday (or within a week after), a card above the prompt offers a one-tap text opening Messages with a pre-filled greeting. Commands include /seed, /goodfriend, /goodfriend add, /goodfriend remove, and /goodfriend test. Requires Claude Code 2.1.286 or newer, licensed MIT.
Check the author's README for the marketplace and plugin name first. Commands may change as the repository evolves.

Be a GoodFriend and remember your friends' birthdays.
GoodFriend is a Claude Code mod. Every so often, the spinner that normally says "Thinking" tells you whose birthday it is instead:
🎂 It's Maya Chen's birthday today
🎂 Leo Park's birthday is in 3 days
🎂 You missed Sam Rivera's birthday 2 days ago
On the day, and for a week after if you missed it, a small card above the prompt offers to text them:
🎂 It's Maya Chen's birthday today [ Text Maya ] ✕
Text Maya opens Messages with "Happy birthday! 🎂" already typed to her. You press send. Text or dismiss, and GoodFriend stops reminding you.
It doesn't nag. On someone's birthday you'll see it a few times early on, then rarely. Otherwise it's an occasional heads-up for the week ahead, or a nudge if you just missed one.
/plugin marketplace add nicodunks/goodfriend
/plugin install goodfriend@goodfriend
macOS only. Needs Claude Code 2.1.286 or newer.
/seed and GoodFriend works out who matters most to you (family first, then the friends you talk to most, judged from your conversations and group chats) and asks for the birthdays it doesn't know. macOS asks once to let it look at Messages; that's it. Or add one directly: /goodfriend add Maya Chen 10/7.GoodFriend only sees who you talk to and the names of your group chats, never what you said. To rank people, it sends that list of names to Claude through your own Claude Code session. Birthdays are saved on your Mac.
