About

RemCall

Features
Read full description

RemCall is the reminder that actually reaches you. It doesn't buzz silently in a notification tray β€” it rings your phone and tells you, out loud, what you asked to remember. Set a reminder for any moment β€” "call mom at 6," "take medication at 9," "leave for the airport" β€” and when the time comes, RemCall places a real phone call to you and reminds you in a natural, human-sounding voice. Even when notifications get ignored, a ringing phone doesn't. WHAT YOU CAN DO β€’ Reminders that call your phone at the exact time you set β€’ A natural AI voice that speaks the reminder you created β€’ Recurring reminders β€” daily, weekly, or a custom schedule β€’ Keep calling β€” RemCall rings back until you confirm β€’ A built-in voice assistant β€” just tap the mic and create or change reminders hands-free β€’ See your upcoming reminders and full call history at a glance WITHOUT OPENING THE APP β€’ Home screen widgets β€” your next call, what's upcoming, or your whole agenda at a glance β€’ Lock Screen and StandBy widgets β€” check your next reminder without unlocking β€’ A Live Activity in the Dynamic Island while a reminder call is running β€’ A Control Center button that calls you right now β€’ Ask Siri β€” "Add a reminder in RemCall" β€” or run it from Shortcuts WHY REMCALL β€’ Notifications are easy to swipe away. A phone call isn't. β€’ Made for the things you can't afford to miss β€” medication, appointments, wake-ups, deadlines, and important calls. β€’ Straightforward plans β€” pick how many reminder calls you need each month, and change or cancel any time. Set it once, and let RemCall make sure the moment never slips by. RemCall Premium is an auto-renewing monthly subscription. Your plan renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your App Store account settings.
