Oh Shoot! texts you. Not a push notification you swipe away, not a calendar you forgot to open: a plain text message to your own phone, exactly when you asked for it. Write what you want to remember, pick a time, and you're done. Once or on repeat. WHY A TEXT - You read texts. Notifications get buried; a text sits in Messages until you deal with it. - Nothing to install on the other end. Your phone already does texting. - Works for the stuff that actually matters: bills, birthdays, medication, trash night, "call mom". WHAT'S INSIDE - Next text, front and center: the home screen shows what arrives next and when. - Smart times: "In 1 hour", "Tonight", "Tomorrow morning", or any date and time you like. - Repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. Birthdays and bills set themselves up once. - Presets for the usual suspects: trash day, oil change, rent, meds, plants. - A preview of your text before you save it, so the time is never a surprise. - Pause a reminder with one tap. Missed one? Reschedule it in a second. - Clean, readable, no clutter. Light and dark mode. HOW IT WORKS Texts go to the US phone number you verified at sign-up. Your first 5 texts are free. Oh Shoot! Pro, monthly or yearly, keeps them coming with unlimited reminders and texts. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out. Turn your "Oh shoot, I forgot" into "Got it." One text at a time.
