Does the person receiving reminders need to download anything?

No. No app, no account, no smartphone required. If their phone can receive a text message — including a flip phone from 2009 — it works.

Can I set up reminders for my mom, dad, or spouse?

Yes, that's the heart of it. You manage the schedule from your side; they just receive friendly texts. And nothing ever sends until they reply YES to a consent text — their phone, their call.

How do I know if they took action?

They reply DONE. With 'til-done reminders, we gently re-ask until they confirm, and you can get a heads-up text if they don't — so you stay in the loop without being the alarm clock.

How much does it cost?

$6.99/mo for personal reminders, $14.99/mo for family features (recurring schedules, reminding a loved one, heads-up alerts), $29.99/mo for up to 4 people. Every plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

How do I stop reminders?

Text STOP. Everything stops instantly — no questions, no hoops.
