If you can send a WhatsApp message, you already know how.
There is no app to learn. You write, it confirms, it reminds you. Here is everything it can do, with the exact words to use. Any wording that means the same works too.
Set a reminder
Say what and when. “Tomorrow”, “friday 5pm”, “in 2 hours”, “on the 12th”. If you leave out the time, it picks 9 am. It confirms what it understood, so you can catch a mistake straight away.
You: friday 5pm pick up the suit from the tailor
RememberMyTask: Got it. Friday at 5:00 pm: pick up the suit from the tailor.
Repeat it
Daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly, yearly, every few days or every few hours. Birthdays, rent, the gym, the plants.
You: every year on 14 march Ma's birthday
RememberMyTask: Done. Every year on 14 March at 9:00 am: Ma's birthday.
You: every 2 days water the plants 7pm
RememberMyTask: Done. Every 2 days at 7:00 pm: water the plants.
Give it a deadline
Use “before” and you get a head start: a nudge 2 days before, 1 day before, then on the day.
You: renew passport before 20 november
RememberMyTask: Got it. Renew passport by 20 November. I'll also nudge you 2 days and 1 day before.
Nag mode
Add “nag me”. If you do not reply done, it sends the reminder again every 30 minutes, up to 3 times. Nags wait until 7 am in your time zone.
You: 8am call the plumber, nag me
RememberMyTask: Got it. Today at 8:00 am: call the plumber. I'll ask again every 30 minutes, up to 3 times, until you reply done.
RememberMyTask: Still on your list: call the plumber.
You: done
RememberMyTask: Marked done. No more nags for this one.
See and change your list
“list” shows what is coming, numbered. Use the number to cancel or move one. “actually” fixes the last one you set. “restore” undoes a cancel within 24 hours.
You: list
RememberMyTask: 1. Friday 5:00 pm: pick up the suit 2. Sunday 9:00 am: call Ravi 3. Every 2 days 7:00 pm: water the plants
You: cancel 2
RememberMyTask: Cancelled: call Ravi. Send restore within 24 hours to bring it back.
You: edit 1 to saturday 11am
RememberMyTask: Changed. Saturday at 11:00 am: pick up the suit.
Answer the reminder
When a reminder arrives, reply “done” or “snooze 15”. You can also reply to an older reminder to act on that one.
RememberMyTask: Reminder: pick up the suit
You: snooze 15
RememberMyTask: Snoozed. I'll remind you again at 11:15 am.
Many at once, in one message
Reminders that are due at the same time arrive together as one numbered message. Your phone buzzes once.
RememberMyTask: Reminders for 9:00 am: 1. Pay electricity bill 2. Book the car service 3. Send Mira the photos
A morning summary, if you want one
Pick a time and get the day’s reminders in one message. It only comes on days that have something. “stop summary” turns it off.
You: daily summary at 7:30am
RememberMyTask: Done. Each morning at 7:30 am, on days with reminders, you'll get the day's list.
Time zone and settings
Your time zone is guessed from your phone number. Change it with “timezone” and a city. “settings” shows your time zone, plan and summary time.
You: timezone Dubai
RememberMyTask: Time zone set to Dubai. Your reminders now follow Dubai time.
Stop or leave at any time
“stop” stops all messages. “delete my data” erases your account.
You: delete my data
RememberMyTask: Your account and reminders will be erased. Thanks for trying RememberMyTask.
