Normal reminders fire once and then go quiet. If you're in the shower, driving, or you swiped it off the lock screen half-asleep, that reminder is gone, and so is the thing you meant to do. RemindRelay doesn't give up that easily. You set a reminder like you normally would, but you also decide what happens if it gets ignored. A gentle push first. Then a text. Then maybe a phone call. If it still goes unanswered, it can reach a trusted contact or caregiver you set up ahead of time. The moment you acknowledge it, one tap, the whole chain stops. That's the idea: reminders that escalate only as far as they need to, and no further. What you can do - Create a reminder by typing it in plain language, or build it by hand. - Pick which channels it can use and how long to wait before it climbs: push, SMS, WhatsApp, email, a voice call, even your smart home through Home Assistant or a webhook. - Bring in family or a caregiver for the reminders that really matter. They opt in first, and they're only contacted if something goes unanswered. Who it's for - People managing medication who want a backup when a dose slips. - Anyone with ADHD who's tired of reminders that disappear the second they show up. - Families juggling school pickup, pet meds, and the things that fall through the cracks. - Adult kids keeping a light, respectful eye on an aging parent. A few honest notes RemindRelay is not a medical device, not emergency monitoring, and it can't guarantee a message is delivered. It runs over the same networks as everything else on your phone, so treat it as best-effort, not a lifeline. RemindRelay is iPhone-first and in active development. Join early access and help shape how escalation, family workflows, and integrations come together.
