How to set reminder calls by messaging on WhatsApp

Most of us already live in WhatsApp all day, so it is the natural place to jot down the thing you must not forget. ReminderIt lets you do exactly that: send a plain-words message to ReminderIt on WhatsApp at +1 478-606-1901 and the reminder assistant reads it, works out the time, and schedules a genuine phone call for later.

This guide shows what to type, what comes back, and the two things that make it work: the number you message from, and natural language rather than rigid commands.

The idea in one line

You write to ReminderIt on WhatsApp the way you would text a friend, and it books a real outbound reminder call at the time you asked for. When the time comes your phone rings and a WhatsApp message with Done and Snooze arrives too; miss the call and it tries once more about five minutes later. There is nothing to install, no sign-up form and no menu to learn; the chat window you already use is the whole interface.

The reply comes back in the same conversation, so setting a reminder feels like a short exchange rather than filling in a form.

What you type, in plain English

Speak to it normally. "Call me at 7pm tonight to take the bins out" or "Remind me every weekday at 8am to take my tablets" are both fine. You do not memorise keywords or a command syntax, because the assistant reads the sentence and fills in the details.

If a detail is missing, such as the time zone, it will simply ask. Always be clear about which zone you mean, since a reminder is only useful if it rings at the right local moment.

Two things it needs from you

First, the number you message from is your account. That is how the chat knows the reminders belong to you, and there is nothing to verify first: your very first message gets you started.

Second, say it however is easiest. You can type your request, send a voice note, or send a photo of a prescription or appointment card, and ReminderIt turns it into reminders for you to confirm.

A real exchange

You: Remind me to call the pharmacy tomorrow at 9:30am

ReminderIt: Got it. I'll ring you tomorrow at 9:30am (Europe/London) to call the pharmacy. Want me to make it a weekday routine or just the once?

You: Just once, thanks

ReminderIt: Done. One reminder call booked for tomorrow 9:30am. Say "what reminders do I have?" any time to see it.

What it costs

Messaging ReminderIt to set or manage reminders does not use up anything, and WhatsApp reminders are unlimited. The reminder calls it places draw from your monthly allowance: 10 during the 7-day free trial (no card needed), then 70 a month on the plan, which is $7 a month, $59 a year, or $99 once for 2 years.
