Ala Baly โ€” Voice Reminders on WhatsApp Say it and forget about it Setting a reminder should be as easy as sending a message. No app to open. No date picker. Just message Ala Baly on WhatsApp the way you'd talk to a friend: "remind me to pay rent on the 1st of every month" "call mom tomorrow at 4" "take my medicine every day at 9" Send it as text or a voice note โ€” even while you're walking. It understands you, sets the reminder, and sends it back to you in the same chat, on time. Why it's different It all happens inside WhatsApp. The reminder arrives there and you answer it there. This app is just for looking back at your reminders โ€” you never have to open it. Say the time however you want: "tomorrow at 4", "after work", "in 5 minutes". Got something wrong? Just reply "no, 8 not 7" or "cancel it". When a reminder arrives, you get three buttons: Done, Postpone, or Cancel. Works in English and Arabic โ€” you can even mix both in one sentence. In the app See all your reminders in one place, change any time or repeat pattern, and get a push notification for every reminder. Repeats Hourly, daily, weekly on the days you choose, or monthly.
