Personal reminders

Last updated August 12, 2026

Personal reminders speak a message you wrote at a time you choose — once, or on a recurring schedule. They use the same ambient path as other signals: your voice pack, quiet hours, and Messages history. Missed reminders stay unread in Messages for you to play later.

Create a reminder

  1. Open CatalogPersonal Reminder.
  2. Write what Announcr should say (up to 500 characters).
  3. Choose once or a recurring schedule:
    • Once — pick an exact time, or use a relative shortcut such as "in 15 minutes" (converted to an exact time when saved).
    • Recurring — daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly, or a custom five-field cron in your timezone.
  4. Confirm the timezone (defaults from your account timezone, then UTC).
  5. Create it. Manage pause, edit, and unsubscribe under Signals.

You can also create many reminders by voice: tap the header microphone, say something like "Remind me every weekday at 9 AM to stand up", review the fields, and confirm. See Signal catalog → Create by voice.

What you hear

When a reminder is due, Announcr speaks: "Reminder: …" with your message, and keeps the fire in Messages. A one-shot stays in your Signals list after it fires with no next time until you edit the schedule. Recurring reminders advance to the next occurrence automatically.

Quiet hours and interrupt

Reminders default to normal priority. During quiet hours the due message is stored unread in Messages and is not auto-played when quiet hours end. If exact audible timing matters, open the reminder under SignalsEdit and raise it to Interrupt.

Limits

  • Up to 50 personal reminders per account (active plus paused).
  • Recurring schedules must be at least five minutes apart.
  • Reminders are private to you (not a shareable public signal).

Site, voice, and a signed-in agent share this same list. Cancel keeps the row for 30 days, then it is removed. A fired one-shot becomes completed.
