Schedule SMS text message reminders for medication, prescription, appointments, deadlines, or important moments - for you or loved ones. Recipients don't need internet, a smartphone, or even the app. Set Text Go is a simple, reliable way to schedule SMS reminders for everything important in your life. Available in U.S. & Canada Only KEY FEATURES: - Schedule one-time or recurring SMS reminders. - Speak instead of type - dictate your reminder message with your voice. - Calendar view - see every upcoming reminder at a glance. - Flexible scheduling - hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom intervals. - Multiple phone numbers per account - remind yourself on personal phones, work phones, or send reminders to family and friends. - Duplicate any reminder in one tap to reuse it. - Every U.S. and Canadian timezone built in, with international options for travel. - Pay as you go or subscribe for monthly top-ups. Either way, credits roll over and never expire! - U.S. based telecommunications and technology infrastructure. PERFECT FOR: - Medication/prescription reminders - Never miss a dose. - Appointment reminders - Doctor visits, meetings, events. - Bill payment reminders - Rent, utilities. - Daily routines - Exercise, habit reminders, vitamins, pet care. - Special occasions - Birthdays, anniversaries (yearly reminders send themselves). - Business reminders - Follow-ups, deadlines, tasks. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Create your reminder - type it or dictate it. 2. Set date, time, and recurrence. 3. Recipient gets a real SMS text at the scheduled time. 4. That's it! Simple and reliable. Why Set Text Go isn't free: Every reminder is a real text message delivered through phone carriers. We pay carrier fees and a cost for every message sent, plus the ongoing expenses of the US-based infrastructure that runs the app around the clock. That is why reminders use credits: buy a credit pack whenever you need one, or choose an optional monthly plan that adds credits automatically. Either way, your credits never expire. Monthly plans renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel anytime in your Apple Account subscription settings.

Alli Care is the family caregiver's companion for looking after an older loved one. Build their daily schedule, watch how they're doing over the weeks and months, and stay close to their daily life, all from your own phone. Manage the schedule - Custom schedules and dosages. Set up each medication with the exact time, frequency, and dose that matches the prescription. Complex regimens, PRN doses, and staggered schedules are all supported. - More than medications. Appointments, activities, hydration, and any recurring reminder that helps their day go smoothly, all in one schedule. - Reminders that reach them. Alli delivers each reminder gently on the Alli Home tablet at home, spoken in their language. Your loved one confirms with a tap or a voice reply, and you know it's done. - Scheduled routines. Set up things Alli does on its own at a set time, like a morning weather and schedule briefing or a daily check-in, and see when each one ran. - A shared family to-do list. Keep errands, calls, and follow-ups in one list the whole family can see and update. - Adjust anytime. Prescriptions change, appointments shift, mornings look different. Update the schedule in seconds and the change flows through instantly. Track how the schedule is going, over time - Every scheduled item, logged. See the full history of what was completed, completed late, or missed, across every kind of reminder. - Patterns you can see. Look back across weeks and months to spot the mornings that are hard, the reminders that consistently get skipped, and the routines that are working. - Proof when it matters. For medications and other check-ins, you can see the confirmation, with a photo when available, so you're not guessing whether it actually happened. - Something to share with the doctor. A clear record of daily adherence to bring to the next appointment, instead of trying to remember what happened last Tuesday. Stay close from anywhere - Wellness insights. See how your loved one has been feeling across sleep, energy, and daily activity, drawn from gentle check-ins Alli has with them throughout the day. - Daily activity, not surveillance. Meaningful signals about how the day is going, without hovering or making them feel watched. - A photo frame they'll actually see. Send photos from your phone to the Alli Home tablet so family moments show up right where they spend their day. - The whole family, aligned. Multiple caregivers can share the picture together, without stepping on each other or overwhelming the older adult with texts. - Notifications when it matters. Get alerted for the things that actually need your attention, not a constant stream of pings. Alli Care works best paired with Alli Home, the AI companion tablet in your loved one's home. Alli talks with them, delivers the reminders, captures the proof, and passes the insights back to you here. Available in English, Spanish, and Chinese. Peace of mind for you. More independence for them.
