Assign and share
Hand a reminder to a specific family member or own it together as a household. Everyone involved sees the same state, and a single acknowledgement from anyone resolves it.
Use case · Family
Family reminders that reroute to whoever is free.
Households run on reminders that someone has to actually catch. RemindRelay lets you share and assign reminders, and reroute to a partner or the rest of the house when the first person does not confirm they have it — so school pickup, pet meds, and trash day stop slipping.
Reroute when no one confirms
If the assigned person does not acknowledge in time, the reminder escalates to a partner or the rest of the household — so a forgotten pickup becomes someone else’s catch instead of a missed one.
Consent for everyone added
Family members opt in before they can be looped into escalations, and you decide which reminders involve others. Shared accountability without the chaos of a group chat.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can different family members get the reminder?
Yes. You can assign a reminder to one person or share it across the household, and escalate to others if the first person does not acknowledge in time.
Do family members need to agree to be included?
Yes. Anyone added as a trusted contact opts in before they can be escalated to, and can leave at any time.
What kinds of family reminders work best?
School pickup, pet medication, household chores, trash and recycling day, and any shared task where it matters that someone actually has it.
