Remind’em – Setup alarms/todo-task reminders on your friends phone.

Hi All,

It’s a no-brainer that for anything you wish to remember, you can always open your phone and set a reminder for the same. But wait? How often do you actually stop to do that? Worse still, what about those times when it is someone else who needs to remind you of something crucial? How many times in your jam-packed schedule have you juggled your last minute errands, only to discover that the most important thing that needed reminding totally skipped your mind? And then you have either your friend cribbing or your wife complaining about your short-term memory loss!

But all that is now set to change, because we understood that some things in life are just too important to forget! And even when they are not, why risk it!

That’s precisely why we at Remind’em were so driven to put together an elegant yet powerful app for their users — all in such a manner that the act of reminding others could be made easier and more effective than one could’ve ever thought possible!

Presenting Remind’em


An Android application, Remind’em gives you unmatched ability to set reminders on others’ phones and alert them exactly when it’s required, exactly where it’s required!

No more frustration of last minute calling, phone being out of range or keeping mental notes to leave someone a text, only to forget all about it minutes later. Now simply let others care when they have to remind you. And what’s best? This app makes the task completely effortless!

Remind’em offers various distinct features:

Favorite contacts list –

The beauty of this app is that you don’t need any additional information about your friends such as their email, fb, google etc. This app works on phone number as identification and hence you will get the list of all your contacts in favorite section who is already on Remind’em.

Time-based reminders

The first in the triad are time-based reminders.

These let the user compose a reminder, set to it a date, time and description, and add multiple alerts to it (for times when it’s urgent and people are lazy). That’s somewhat basic, you’d imagine. Not really, because here’s the twist! Once you have set the reminder, you can then send it across to a friend. This in turn will automatically set an alarm on your friend’s phone for that specific time, without them having to even lift a finger. So for instance, if you wish to wake someone up, you don’t have to stay up yourself anymore. Just set up a reminder for them and they’ll get an alarm on their phone. Easy as that!

Location-based reminders

The next capability the app offers is one of assigning location-based reminders.

They truly come in handy when you are unsure about the time but definite regarding a certain location for an event or activity that’s coming up. These can be put to several different innovative uses depending on one’s requirement. How about this? You plant a reminder at a location on the map and send it to your desired friend. This ticks off an alarm in your friend’s phone as he approaches the vicinity of the said location. Now the next time you want to let your husband know what to buy once he leaves from his office, you need only to place a location based reminder on your phone for his office. And you are all set! He will come to know accordingly as he’s leaving from work.

Subscription reminders –

And last but in no way least, Remind’em brings to you the one-of-its-kind feature of subscription reminders. On subscribing to the topic of your choice, you receives regular reminders regarding the buzz that’s going on with that specific content at any given time. At this moment this feature of app is admin controlled but we are in process of making this feature as a completely self serve.

Remind’em is an exchange of favors between people; hence we won’t charge you anything, ever! No ads, no interruptions, whatsoever. Just seamless service and uncomplicated smart reminders! At this moment, this application is available for android users and we are in process of developing the same for iOS and Windows stores.

  1. hey varun,

    i think the name works.

    this would probably help EAs of busy CEOs. 

    or spouses!!!

    i found the location based alarm interesting – if you’re going to an event etc…

    quick one – have any of your users found it intrusive? since the user gets to remind others….?! just wondering….

  2. We have seen some interesting cases how people are using it. Interesting one among those till now are:

    1. Wake up alarm for flight to catch: Previously people are putting a wake up alarm for themselves and then calling their friends to wake up. But with this now people are directly setup an alarm in their friends phone.

    2. College professors and fests: We have created topics of academic courses and fests which students have subscribed. Now, fests organizers and college profs. are directly pushing events on that topic and subscribers are getting notified as and when the event is going to start. Previously people use to look the notice boards and then setting up their own reminder.

    And regarding the intrusive, we have given option in the app to whitelist the contacts who can directly setup alarm in your phone without your permission. For rest whenever somebody tries to setup a reminder you will get a notification asking – do you want to set this as a reminder or not. So, its completely in app’s user control. 

  3. hey varun,

    how has the response been so far?

    do update us!!
