Long-distance caregiving — reminder calls that reach them, wherever they are
When your parent lives in another city or country, set up reminder calls on their local time so their day stays on track — even when you can't be there to prompt them yourself.
Caring for someone who lives far away comes with a particular helplessness: you can't just pop round to check they've taken their tablets or remembered the appointment. Reminder calls close some of that distance. You set up the prompts from wherever you are, anchored to your parent's local time zone, and their phone rings at the right moment — no matter how many miles or hours sit between you.
Their local time, not yours
Every reminder is anchored to an IANA time zone, so you can set your mother's 8am medication call to ring at 8am where she lives — not where you are. The distance and the time difference stop being a problem to juggle in your head; the call simply arrives at the right local moment.
Fewer anxious check-in calls
Instead of phoning across time zones to ask 'did you take your tablets? did you eat?', you let reminder calls handle the prompting. If one is missed, a WhatsApp message follows so nothing silently slips. Your own calls are freed to be about staying close, not checking up — which matters more when you can't be there in person.
Set up remotely, with their consent
You add your parent as a recipient and we place a one-time consent call to their number so they agree before anything is scheduled. From then on you manage their reminders from your own account, anywhere in the world, and adjust them as their needs change.

Frequently asked questions
Can I set reminders for a different country or time zone?
Yes. Each reminder is anchored to the recipient's time zone, so a call scheduled for 8am rings at 8am where they are, regardless of where you are.
Do international reminder calls work?
ReminderIt reaches normal destinations worldwide. Only premium/satellite ranges are excluded. Your parent just needs a normal phone number.
How do I add someone who lives abroad?
Add them as a recipient with their full international number, confirm you have their permission, and we place a one-time verification call before any reminders start.
What if they miss a call?
We follow an unanswered call with a WhatsApp message, so the reminder still reaches them and there's a written note to check.
