Read full description

Tely is a shared reminder app designed for couples, families, roommates, and trusted people who want to stay organized together. With Tely, you can create reminders for yourself, but also for people who have allowed you to do so. For example, if your partner needs to remember to buy bread, you can create a reminder for them at the right time. They will receive a notification when it matters, without having to create the reminder themselves. The goal is simple: help each other remember the small but important things. With Tely, you can: • create personal reminders; • create reminders for someone who has authorized you; • receive reminders created by trusted people; • organize reminders inside shared spaces; • create spaces for your couple, home, family, roommates, or groups; • invite members to your spaces; • manage who can create reminders for you; • choose the right permission mode for each person; • receive a notification when a reminder is added; • receive the reminder at the scheduled time; • mark reminders as done. Tely is built around trust. You always stay in control: • no one can create reminders for you without your permission; • you choose who is allowed to create reminders for you; • you can revoke access at any time; • you can leave a shared space whenever you want; • you can manage your notification preferences. Tely is useful for: • couples organizing daily life; • families sharing tasks and reminders; • roommates managing home routines; • trusted people helping each other remember things; • everyday reminders like groceries, trash, appointments, calls, medication, birthdays, home tasks, and more.
