Carrier is the best way to schedule messages. **Note:** For your privacy, it is not possible to send messages on your behalf without you taking action. You have to push send when you get the notification. Don't forget! ## Why I created this Asking Siri to remind you to send someone a message only helps if you can remember what you wanted to say. After forgetting one too many times to send an important message, I decided to make an app to help me out. Now I can write and schedule the message when I think of it and send it at just the right time. ## How it works Just as when sending a regular text message, you select a person and write your message. Then you choose the date and time for the message to send. When the time comes, you will get a notification that will allow you to send the message. It integrates with the built-in Messages app, so it comes from you in your normal conversations. ## Contacts If you choose to give Carrier access to your contacts, it is effortless to select a recipient for your message. Rest assured that your contacts are not harvested or shared with anyone—it just makes your life easier. If you do not give access, you can still select a recipient. ## Groups When you choose multiple recipients for a message, you will be prompted to create a group to make it easier to message those people again. You can manage your groups in Settings at any time. ## Dark theme A gorgeous dark theme makes writing and scheduling messages in low light easy on your eyes. And with automatic switching from light to dark themes, you can always have the best experience for the moment. ## Pro upgrade Carrier is free to use for a limited number of messages each month. When you upgrade to Carrier Pro, you will unlock unlimited messages, the ability to use your voice to create and schedule messages, and help support continued development. Thanks! ## Family project As I have worked on this app, my kids have contributed lots of ideas for features. My eleven-year-old daughter thought of many of the Easter eggs, and hopes you will enjoy finding them. We hope this will be as much help for you as it has been for us! -Ben ## Key features - Schedule messages for future delivery - Manual send confirmation via notification - Integrates with built-in Messages app - Contact integration for easy recipient selection - Group messaging support - Dark theme option ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Pro Upgrade | $9.99 | one-time | ## What do users think of Carrier Messaging?

My only hangup is that I can’t find a way to schedule recurring messages (i.e., 2nd Saturday of each month or weekly). Please add that, if possible. Love this app. Bought the lifetime subscription. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t automatically send. *2024-11-14, version 1.3.0* Was looking for an app that automatically sends text message. This just reminds you to send. I can’t always have my phone by me so need an app that actually sends the text when scheduled ### 3/5 — ????? *2024-09-08, version 1.3.0* I have questions how do I get answers? ### 3/5 — Carrier functionality *2024-08-01, version 1.3.0* I thought it would send a text at a desired time but instead it reminded me to send the preloaded message when the time came. So it is a reminder app more than anything? Maybe easier than a calendar reminder… ### 5/5 — Fantastic and Easy *2024-07-24, version 1.3.0* I tend to remember things that I want to tell someone at odd hours of the evening. This lets me write the text and get a reminder to send it at a much better time. I don’t want to train my bosses to call or text me late at night. The free version was enough for months. Then I paid for the app to support the developer. Oh. My. Goodness. The ability to create a group, schedule your message, and send the text to each group member individually has upgraded my life. No more sending a group text and begging people not to reply all. No more copy and pasting a message 20 times to prevent texting group reply purgatory. Adding and removing people from the group list is easy going. And as the app has the groups labeled, I often start my group text from this app so that I know I’m using the right one even when I plan to send the text immediately. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Didn’t work for me *2024-07-20, version 1.3.0* Maybe I did something wrong but the scheduled text message never sent. 🤨 ### 1/5 — The purpose of scheduling a text is to not have to send it myself. *2024-07-17, version 1.3.0* Epic fail. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2024-07-15, version 1.3.0* If I have to hit send after a notification is sent, this is not a text scheduler. The description is very deceiving. ### 1/5 — Scam title *2024-06-05, version 1.3.0* The app only schedules a alarm. It does not send a text at a specified time you desire. Setting a alarm with a description does the exact same thing. Don’t waste the money ### 2/5 — Automated?? nope *2024-05-21, version 1.3.0* Whats the point if I still have to send it manually. The whole reason I got the app was so it would send automatically at the appointed time bc I wont be able to. Luckily I found this out just in time before I bought the paid version. Now I gotta go look for another app that actually is automated. ## Frequently asked questions about Carrier Messaging ### What does Carrier Messaging do? Carrier Messaging allows you to write and schedule text messages to be sent at a specific future date and time.

For unlimited scheduling and additional features like voice input, an optional 'Carrier Pro' upgrade is available through in-app purchases. ### Does the app send messages automatically?
