How to use Jon's Reminders
One number, no app. Create an account and verify your phone first — then text +1 (855) 822-7516 what to remember, and we text it back at the right time.
Getting set up
- 1
Create an account and verify your mobile number in Settings (we text you a code).
- 2
Save Jon's Reminders to your contacts so the thread shows the right name.
- 3
Text the number. That's it — everything below works by SMS.
Just text it
No time in your message? We ask instead of guessing:
Times can look like tomorrow at 5pm, in 20 minutes, next tuesday 9am, june 10 at noon, 8:30pm.
The command menu
- “call mom tomorrow 5pm”creates a reminder — just say what + when
- “feed dogs every morning”repeats it — daily, weekdays, weekly, or a specific day (we’ll ask the time)
- “…and keep bugging me”makes it persistent — we nudge again (+10/+20/+40 min) until you reply DONE
- DONEcheck off a ’til-done reminder (👍 tapback works too)
- LISTsee your upcoming reminders — or just ask “what do I have today?”
- SNOOZE 10push the last reminder back 10 minutes (any number works)
- “push this to 2pm”moves the last reminder to a specific new time (“to tomorrow” keeps its time)
- CANCEL 2cancel item 2 from LIST — or CANCEL LAST for the newest
- MENUget the quick command list by text
- STOPopt out of all texts — START opts back in
Commands aren't case-sensitive. While we're waiting on a time from you, CANCEL skips that half-made reminder; LIST and MENU still work as usual.
Common questions
I'm not getting texts.
Make sure your phone is verified in Settings, and that you haven't texted STOP (text START to opt back in). Reminders come from +1 (855) 822-7516.
Does it cost anything?
Plans start at $6.99/month — see pricing for what each tier includes. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee, and you can cancel anytime. Standard message & data rates from your carrier may apply, like any text.
What if I don't give a time?
We ask! Say “remind me about the game tonight” and you'll get “What time?” back — answer like “8pm” and you're set. The question stays open for 15 minutes; text CANCEL to skip it.
What's a 📌 'til-done reminder?
Like an alarm that won't quit (politely): the reminder re-sends after 10, 20, then 40 minutes until you reply DONE — then it stops for good. Never between 10pm–8am. Say “keep bugging me” when creating one, or pick 📌 on the web.
Can reminders repeat?
Yes — just say it: “feed the dogs every morning”, “standup every weekday at 9am”, or “trash every Monday”. We'll ask for a time if you didn't give one. You can also set repeats (daily, weekdays, weekly) on the web dashboard.
Wrong timezone?
Times are read and shown in the timezone in Settings — fix it there and everything follows.
How do I change my number?
In Settings → Phone number → Change number, then verify the new one.
Something else?
Email support@jonsreminders.com — a human reads it. Also see SMS Terms & Privacy.
Easiest way to learn it? Text it.
Once your phone is verified, text something like “remind me to stretch in 20 minutes” and see it come back.
