Tier 0 · Calm
Push Notification
The first, quietest tap on the shoulder.
iOS-first · Now in development
Reminders that keep going until someone acknowledges them.
Normal reminders fire once and fall silent. RemindRelay treats every reminder as an open loop — escalating across push, SMS, voice, your smart home, even a trusted contact — until it’s acknowledged.
- 9 escalation channels
- 1 tap stops the chain
- 0 reminders left behind
RemindRelay Push 8:00
Take morning medication
Tap to acknowledge. We'll stop here if you do.

No response yet — nudging you on text.

Escalating: living room lights pulsing
Making your space notice. Reply DONE to resolve.
RemindRelay Voice call 8:40
Calling you now
An automated voice reminder is dialing your phone.
The problem
A reminder you didn’t see is a reminder that never happened.
Every reminder app makes the same quiet assumption: that firing a notification is the same as getting your attention. It isn’t. The single most important reminders are exactly the ones easiest to miss.
- 7:00 AM Reminder fires while you’re in the shower.
- 7:00 AM Swiped away on the lock screen, half-asleep.
- 9:30 AM Buried under twelve other notifications.
- 12:00 PM Phone on silent. Nobody ever knows.
- — …and it stops trying right there.
Once.
That’s how many times a traditional reminder tries to reach you. Then it gives up — no matter how much it mattered.
Medication. A flight. Picking up a child. The stakes vary wildly. The follow-through is always the same: zero.
The relay
One reminder. A relay that refuses to give up.
You define the policy once. RemindRelay walks it step by step — escalating only as far as it needs to, and stopping the instant someone responds.
-
Reminder fires
A gentle push notification arrives, exactly as you would expect.
-
No acknowledgement
Nothing was tapped. RemindRelay does not give up — it steps up.
-
Escalation climbs
The reminder grows louder across channels you chose in advance.
-
The phone rings
A voice call places the reminder somewhere it cannot be ignored.
-
A human is looped in
A trusted contact or caregiver is notified — with consent, every time.
-
Acknowledged → resolved
One tap stops the chain instantly and closes the loop for everyone.
A single acknowledgement — a tap, a reply, a spoken word — collapses the entire chain and closes the loop for everyone involved.
Escalation channels
Nine ways to be heard, ordered by how loud they get.
Each channel sits at a tier. RemindRelay climbs the ladder only as far as a reminder demands — quiet at the bottom, impossible to ignore at the top.
Tier 1 · Nudge
SMS
A text that lands even when the app is closed.
Tier 1 · Nudge
Reach people where their conversations already live.
Tier 1 · Nudge
A durable paper trail with the full context.
Tier 3 · Urgent
Voice Call
When silence is not an option, the phone rings.
Tier 2 · Escalating
Webhooks
Fire any system you can reach with an HTTP call.
Tier 2 · Escalating
Home Assistant
Flash the lights. Pause the TV. Make the house notice.
Tier 4 · Human
Caregiver Alerts
Loop in a trusted person — the last line that always shows up.
Webhooks and Home Assistant make the list effectively open-ended — if it speaks HTTP or lives in your smart home, it can become an escalation step.
Natural language
Describe it like you’d say it. We’ll build the policy.
Type a sentence and RemindRelay parses the timing, the recurrence, the people, and the escalation rules into a structured reminder you can fine-tune — or leave exactly as it understood you.

Family & caregivers
Accountability that includes the people who care.
Build a small web of trust around a reminder. Assign reminders to family members, approve what gets sent, and let escalation reach a caregiver only when it truly needs to — never as a surprise.
- Assign & share reminders Hand a reminder to someone else, or own one together as a household.
- Trust relationships People opt in before they can ever be looped into your escalations.
- Approvals & caregiver mode Review what goes out, and give caregivers a calm, consent-based view.
Home automation & webhooks
Turn the room itself into the reminder.
When a screen isn’t enough, RemindRelay can reach into the physical world. An API-first core means an escalation step can be almost anything.
Home Assistant
Make the house notice
Trigger any Home Assistant automation as an escalation step — pulse the lights, pause the TV, speak through a smart speaker, or nudge a smart display.
Webhooks
Fire anything over HTTP
A signed POST at any tier. Page on-call, ping a Slack channel, flip a relay — if it has an endpoint, it can be a step.
API-first
Built to integrate
The escalation engine is the product. Everything it can do is designed to be reachable, scriptable, and composable from day one.
