## What is Kyew?

Schedule a text message to send later. Kyew saves your message and sends it at the exact date and time you pick.

Never forget a birthday. Never miss a follow-up. Write it now, send it later.

NEW: AUTO SENDING

Set it up once. After that, Kyew sends your scheduled texts on its own — no tap needed.

Auto Send works through Shortcuts, the automation app that comes pre-installed on your device. Kyew walks you through the setup step by step. It takes about a minute, and you only do it one time.

Once it's on, your texts go out at the exact time you picked. While you're asleep. While you're with a client. While you're in the car.

Want to stay in control instead? Leave Auto Send off. Kyew will send you a notification with your message ready to go in one tap.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Write your text
2. Add photos, videos, or files
3. Pick one person or many
4. Pick a date and time
5. Turn on Auto Send, or get a reminder

Kyew (say it like "Q," as in queue) saves your message and any attachments until it's time.

SET IT AND FORGET IT

Schedule a text to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Great for birthdays, weekly check-ins, monthly invoices, and standing reminders.

GROUP TEXT & MASS MESSAGES

Send the same text to a lot of people. You can send these as standard group chats, or as separate, private messages where no one sees anyone else's number or replies.

You can save groups for re-use. 

It works like BCC in email.

FOR PERSONAL USE

• Birthday and anniversary texts
• Holiday messages written early, sent on time
• Weekly check-ins with parents and grandparents
• Reconnect with old friends
• Party invitations and RSVP nudges
• Countdown reminders — "10 days until Hawaii"
• Time zone friendly — write at 2 a.m., arrives at 9 a.m. their time
• Text your future self
• Carpool, practice, and pickup reminders
• Rent and bill reminders for roommates

FOR BUSINESS USE

98% of texts get opened. Most are read within 5 minutes. Email can't do that. Kyew turns texting into a tool you can plan around.

• Appointment reminders and confirmations — cut down no-shows
• Rebooking reminders: "It's been 6 weeks since your last visit"
• Invoice and payment reminders
• Renewal and expiration notices
• Lead follow-ups and quote follow-ups
• Review requests, sent right after the job
• New customer welcome messages
• Sales, offers, and back-in-stock alerts
• Content promotion — new post, episode, or newsletter
• Staff shift and schedule reminders

### 1/5 — broken???

*2026-08-12*

Update: now in addition to skipping messages when you have multiple notifications, it is now failing to notify me at all. on my iPhone 17 pro, I have daily texts scheduled, and notifications enabled, but it never gives notifications any more. 

Please fix! I’ve spent dozens of hours scheduling texts that aren’t getting sent. 

And here was my feeedback from last year that still was never fixed. 

This app would be great and do exactly what I need except that when you have more than one text scheduled to go out at a time it gives you multiple notifications (as expected) but when you tap one of them it just forgets the other one. It works if you only need to send one text a day but if you have more than one at a time, it becomes a mess and forget your texts. Hope they can fix this bug because I would love to use this app.

**Developer response:** Update: we are aware of the issue and are preparing to release an update shortly! 

Thank you for your feedback. We will look into this - can you clarify if you're not receiving alerts or that after tapping one alert all the other alerts are removed?

### 4/5 — Helpful, but could be better

*2026-07-12*

I got this app so that I could have messages to be sent to multiple people at once. The app reminds you to do so, but I wish I didn’t have to actually send the message. I wish it would send the message at the time that I desired for it to be sent without me having to actually prompt it to do so.

### 5/5 — I do sales!

*2026-05-18*

Awesome app. I really like how it helps rewrite text, but nothing sends unless you actually press send. I’m in sales, so sometimes the client has already replied or another coworker has picked up the lead, and that extra control makes a huge difference. Makes communication faster without losing the human side of it.

### 4/5 — My Kyew Wish List

*2026-04-01*

I like the app, mainly because it was so hard finding an iPhone app that would allow me to schedule group texts and send them as separate messages. My wish is for an easier way to add contacts, because if you’ve loaded 15 names, but click the Back button by accident, you have to start your list all over. Also, an automatic send feature would be wonderful! Yea, you can schedule texts, but if you want to send them separately, at the designated time you have to stop what you’re doing and send each one manually. Please give the option to send as a group or separately, then auto-send the messages at the scheduled time. If you guys could do THAT, I would literally jump for joy.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-02-23, version 4.40*

It stopped working

### 5/5 — Super good!

*2026-01-26, version 4.40*

Very user friendly 😊

### 2/5 — It forgets notifications

*2025-12-21*

This app would be great and do exactly what I need except that when you have more than one text scheduled to go out at a time it gives you multiple notifications (as expected) but when you tap one of them it just forgets the other one. It works if you only need to send one text a day but if you have more than one at a time, it becomes a mess and forget your texts. Hope they can fix this bug because I would love to use this app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We will look into this - can you clarify if you're not receiving alerts or that after tapping one alert all the other alerts are removed?

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2025-12-13, version 4.40*

It works well for what I need it for. I think it is the best one on the market.

### 5/5 — Easy to use, works as it should

*2025-12-12, version 4.40*

I use this when I know I need to send a text later and don’t want to forget. I also used it to plan a high school reunion.

### 2/5 — It forgets notifications
